Wicker Camp Team Sparring Championships,Sunday 15th July, 2007.

This our 30th anniversary year, sees the revival of the annual Team Sparring Championships at Wicker Camp. We've dusted off the big silver cup from the trophy cabinet in the Gym in preparation for this prestigious event.

Sunday 15th July will see our two teams ( Red team & Blue team ) battle it out for the Camp Cup. We've had quite a few entries already, but are looking for students to take part in this fun event. It's only 3 x 1 minute rounds and any graded student can enter. All bouts will of course be matched fairly between students of similar weight, age and ability. All participants will wear full protective gear - body shield, big gloves, leather shinpads and ( where applicable )head guards.

I'd like a MAXIMUM of 20 bouts, so the whole thing doesn't take all day. We've also got a fantastic outdoor barbeque planned ( hope it doesn't rain ...) with free food and soft drinks for all competitors. ( Yes, I'm afraid spectators will have to pay for food n drink ! )

It will cost you £2 to enter, will be excellent experience and will give you an extra fitness goal to ensure you perform well on the day. We are also going to charge spectators a massive £2 entry to this event, but all money raised will go to St. Luke's Hospice. So, any spectators out there - you are most welcome to come along.

Be quick - I guarantee we'll be inundated with entries for this fantastic, fun event !
