With the agreement of all clubs expected to take part in men's Championship 2 and Championship 4, the venues originally earmarked for the finales in each division have been swapped - to, respectively, GL1 Pool, Gloucester, and Salt Ayre, Lancaster. This is due to the fact that Championship 2 will feature a high percentage of southern-based teams; and there are likely to be more from the north in Championship 4.
An earlier round of men's Championship 2 will be staged at split venues. Birmingham, Cambridge, Ealing and Welsh Wanderers go to Grantham on 7/8 January; and Croydon Amphibians, Southampton, Watford and Worthing to the new Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School pool, Borehamwood, 11/12 February.
