Our team of exceptionally talented youngsters were all booked up to travel to Faro, Portugal to compete in the WKC World Championships with flights hotel and transfers booked and paid for.

We then learnt through the week of the collapse of Monarch Airlines which we were flying out to the tournament with. Breaking the news to the team was a horrible task but soon after gaining the support of the community there may be a chance we could still compete.

We hope through various efforts we can raise the amount needed and if not we have a continuing fund pot to drive the team into future events we have in place for next year.

The team have been training all year in anticipation for the event and we feel it is unfair and unjust for especially the youngsters to miss the opportunity they have earned through hard work and dedication!
