02/11/08 - NCCU Club Championships 2008-09

The main change this year is that we will that there will now be consolation prizes for the losing semi-finalists. We will also consider contributing towards travel expenses in case of hardship.

So for each of the 4 Sections, the prizes will be -
Winners £100
Runners-Up £50
Losing Semi-Finalists 2 x £25

Total prize money will therefore be 4 x £200 = £800.

I will be doing e-mails etc to try to get entries for the event but the Country Representatives have a key part to play - so please try to encourage your clubs to have a go in this fine competition.
