Calendar 2020

The 2020 Calendar was badly affected by the Covid-19 emergency, everything after the shortened Lille tournament in March being either cancelled or postponed. We had hoped to be able to hold the usual September whole club event in Edinburgh, and whole club training sesssions in October, November and December, along with the December whole club event, but the club event was first postponed with a target date of late October and a local training sessions was organised in Dundee on 1 November but cancelled as lockdown tightened once more. Scottish Thistles had a contingency plan to try to arrange matches in Japan during the period when the 2020 World Cup would have been held, if players could obtain refunds or deferments of payments made for flights and hotels, but that did not take place either.
