It has just occurred to me that we don't yet have a consolidated place to keep track of dates - and date changes - for small federation National Championships this year. As many are located in regions where COVID-19 has led to travel difficulties and renewed lockdown conditions right in the lead-up to Nationals season, I thought it might be helpful to get one going; please comment with any dates or changes you're aware of, and I'll do my best to keep the list up to date.
The list is taken from the Wikipedia page for 2019-20 National Championships; if there are any that didn't get listed, let me know and I'll add them in.
I'm only listing Senior Nationals at the moment - adding Juniors etc would just be too much!
