BWPL PHASE ONE VENUES

British League action will take place at venues as far apart as Edinburgh and Plymouth during the first half of next season. The full programme of 20 weekend events is published today, with detailed fixtures to follow soon.

The League returns to the Royal Commonwealth Pool, Edinburgh, for the third time on 22/23 October, when northern-based teams play matches in the men's and women's top divisions.

​That means, for example, that men from City of Manchester, Lancaster, City of Sheffield and Championship 1 winners Caledonia compete in Scotland while champions Cheltenham, Invicta, Bristol and newly-promoted Solihull go to the GL1 Pool, Gloucester.

​Plymouth Life Centre features for the first time with an eight-match programme in women's Division 2 on 5/6 November. For much-travelled Devonport Royal, a "home" event will be particularly welcome. Full programme:
