We had and absolutely great time and it doesn't matter how many competitions we've done, we always learn from them; not just the competitors, but our umpires and our coaches.

We planned, we trained, we rehearsed and we delivered... 

A lot of time, love and attention went into ensuring we give our guests a great night out. MASSIVE thanks to everyone who supported us.. we sold over 150 tickets, raising nearly £2,000 and packed out our seating. 

Well done to all our competitors who put on a great show. It doesn't matter how seasoned a competitor you are, it still takes courage to step on the mats and more so when it's in front of friends, family, peers and members.. but the cheers, the enthusiasm, the support and love was phenomenal 👏👏💪💪

All profits are now being carefully allocated to support those travelling to Holland and Argentina..  

Every little helps, we are so grateful and touched ❤️
