In defence of Paul and Mark who organize this event, no promoter could of foreseen the amount of interest these championships generate, and the amount of people who actually turned up was overwhelming, yet despite this, rather than let down the kids who came, and turn people away at the door, Paul and Mark and their team managed to accommodate every child that was there to compete.

Because of the amount of people who came, the first fights didn’t start until around 11.30am, and yes, the last fight finished around 1.30am, I myself, who was one of the Refs on the day, and had an hours drive home after, didn’t get into my bed until gone 3.00am, then up again at 6.00am to drive back for day two, the Kickboxing.

Lessons have been learnt, there has been a years worth of debate to plan and make sure this years event runs smoother and finishes earlier, there are three rings instead of two, so that should cut 1/3rd off of the time, younger kids compete first, ages ascending, starting bang on 10.30am, less people will be coming this year because there are a lot of other similar events going on around the same time, others are just put off because of last years late event.

If last year was 14 hours, starting at 11.30am with 2 rings and so many people, this year with 3 rings, = 1/3rd off the time,
say 4.5 hours, = 9.5 hours, starting at 10.30am, even if the same amount of people turn up as last year, which I very much doubt, the latest it should be finished is around 8.00pm.

Yes its still a long day, but I have been to basic interclub’s that have finished around that time, and walked away with a £1.00 medal, this event is The Junior British Championships, every child that enters will get a certificate saying that they competed in a Championship event, every winner will get a Championship belt, every child that wins will be the Junior British Champion of 2010 in their weight class for ever, I believe its worth a long day for.
