Competitions

Competitions offer a great way of taking your game to the next level, and this year we are running seven competitions aligned with ESMBA Nationals. When you enter this year, you will automatically be entered into the ESMBA nationals draw meaning that if you finish in one of the top spaces, you could be offered a place at the ESMBA National events. giving you an opportunity to compete at a National level against other County champions.
