“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the weekend.
Even though I have been a member for a while it was my first tournament and I was terrified and felt like a complete imposter at the start.
However it was brilliant!
I cannot imagine the planning and work it would have taken but I wanted to say thank you and how awesome all of it was the tournament the promotion and the party so thank you!”
BMAzed at what you can achieve!

Thank you to everybody who supported & competed at the Club Championships 2023.
It was such a wonderful day and reminded us all of what a great community we are all a part of. Thank you.
“My son did the competition today. He absolutely loved it. Thank you so much to all the instructors for giving up a Sunday to help and for being so clearly passionate about it, which is what keeps him coming back.”
Having the courage to compete is highly commendable and we are very proud of you all, as you should be of yourselves too!
