Remember Marcinelle In Belgium 19th May 2007 and 23rd May 2008

It's on again..! 23rd May 2009..!  Final Booking date 14/3/09  Click here for your pdf application form

In 2007 the Club took 3 Full Coaches transported over 75 competitors along with their parents (over 150 people in all) to the International Tournament in Marcinelle. Last year the Club took another contingent to once again win the Marcinelle Club Cup. If any Club can win the "Marcinelle Club Cup" three times in succession, they will be awarded the coveted "Marcinelle Miners Lamp Trophy" to keep. 2 down, one to go..!

The organisers have confirmed the date of the tournament as 23 May 2009. This is the bank holiday weekend which is the beginning of mid-term break.

The club has the rare opportunity of lifting the “Miners Lamp” trophy if we are top club for the third year running. We can only achieve this if players participate – any player born in 1997 – 2000 can safely enter. Players born 1996 – 1993 need to be at least green belt.

Now for the detail:- The plan is for the coaches to leave on the morning of Friday, 22 May 2009 and to arrive at dinner time in Marcinelle. Coach passengers will stay overnight in Marcinelle and compete on Saturday 23 May (all day). We will depart from Marcinelle at the end of the tournament (circa 8/9pm) and then travel home, arriving back in the early hours of Sunday 24 May (we catch the ferry at about 1am).

Accomodation Costs: Due to the change in the exchange rate (£1 = E1 instead of E1.5) and that the cheapest hotel, Etap Hotel is full booked, we are likely to have to book twin rooms in more expensive hotels (£70 - £90 per night). Final costs to be confirmed, Cheques Payable to “Nork Judo Club” First come, first served – or 14/3/09.
