SABVS Championships March 2025

I am unable to attend on the long weekend Saturday+Sunday 8+9th March due to participation in the Warrnambool indoor tournament
I am unable to attend on the long weekend Saturday+Sunday 8+9th March due to other commitments

I dont mind which weekend the SABVS Champs are held and would want to participate as priority over any other commitments
I dont mind which weekend because i cannot participate due to other reasons
