Also bring your license book (with the insert paper slip noting the date of licensing).
Sign up for competing is completed. There will be NO registration for competing on the day itself.
Competitors pay in advance. If you have not yet paid your entry fee(s), please do so. (£10 per kata entry, £10 per kumite entry, transfer to Tei Karate Club, 80-08-98, 00881644, reference SURNAME/TAC2026.) Thank you to all who have paid already.
Spectators pay on the day - £5 per person (per adult and per child) and that covers entry, a copy of the programme and a raffle ticket.
Competitors - Kata competitors arrive 9.30am to confirm your registration and check out your pool details. Those taking part in the team event, arrive 10am. If you're doing Kumite only (not Kata and not the team event) arrive 11am to register. (Volunteers/helpers, if you can come 9am to set up, that would be super.) Event end time c.2.30pm.
Seating will be available in the main hall - depending on attendance, it could be that we ask the parents/spectators of those taking part in that particular bout are allowed to sit, then we move to allow the next group to watch.
We will have the multi media room available for warm up - a child's responsible adult must be present in that room when their child is in there. Please don't leave children unattended.
We plan to have a kit stand where you can buy various items of kit.
Photos will be taken on the day - if you do not want to be photographed, or have your child photographed, no problem - inform Magda at registration table on the morning of the event.
Remember to put your name on Gi, kit, hoodies, tshirts - lots of people may have the same.
If you are/your child is unwell and cannot join us on the day, please message or call Paul (or Magda, or anyone that you know who is attending and can pass on the message).
And the most important thing - have fun and enjoy the Championships.
This is an event to bring together all Clubs, to encourage friendly competition and develop skills and confidence. Judges' decisions are final. Volunteers are just that; volunteers who have offered to help out. Please give yourself enough time to arrive and get into kit, ready to compete. Let's have a brilliant day!
