Hi, I am about to play the European senior championships in Italy, from the 1st of June to the 11th.

However the costs of playing this tournament are very high. I am getting some support from my federation which I am very grateful for. But any extra support will be nice as I estimate the total cost of playing the event is going to set me back something like 1700 euros.

It would be great if I could play as then I have a chance of finishing top three, and that would mean I would get my hotel paid for, in a future world senior championships.
