NEW VENUE:
All categories and times will remain the same.
NEXT CHAMPIONSHIP TRAINING DATE:
The 2018 MF British Championships were certainly a day to remember. It was the largest competition ever for the MF Group and the excitement, tension and standard was very high indeed.
Our intrepid team ventured to Swindon having dedicated a great deal of time and effort to their training. Simply to enter and compete takes a great deal of courage. All of them are winners!
We had tears, laughter, highs and lows but with over 600 competitors it was always going to be a tough day. We put in some exceptional performances and they can all be very proud of how they performed.
Here was the team:
None of their success would be possible without the incredible dedication of our team of Instructors, families and friends who all came along to support and cheer the team on. Thank you one and all for helping to create a superb atmosphere for everyone.
Regional Championships – March 2019!
On Saturday, 10th November our small but determined team of students and Instructors head to Swindon for the British Championships.
On behalf of everyone here in Kent – GOODLUCK! It will be a very exciting day with 600 competitors from across the UK and we look forward to watching you in action.
MF Kent Team:
See you soon!
