Player applications

Due to the recent holiday period, and the Bank Holiday weekend, it has been decided to extend the deadline for an extra 2 days. The original deadline was to be tomorrow (Wednesday 27th August), but will now be extended to last post Friday 29th August - please note that this does not mean mailing it on Friday, but received in post on Friday.

Coaching Passes

As per the application forms, all coaches that require a coaches pass to allow them into the competition area to coach their players, should complete a coaches application form, ensuring that all the required information is supplied. Please note that we will provide free passes as follows:

(1) 1-5 Players will receive 1 free pass

Additional coaching passes are available and should be applied for using the same form, but accompanied by the payment detailed on the application forms.

Please note, there have been a number of coaches named on entry forms that have not applied for coaching passes. If a coaching pass application form is not received then a pass will not be issued. All coaches should ensure that they have submitted a form by the deadline, as coaching passes will not be issued at the event.
