Most tournament players will be aware that the 5th European Championship will be held in June 2019 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. All applications to participate, as in previous championships, are to be made via national associations. There is no facility for direct entry to this tournament. UK is fortunate to have many strong players capable of representing it in this event, and in the first instance the UK Committee has contacted those players with a consistent record of successful participation in both UK and other European tournaments over recent years in order to establish at an early stage who is available for selection. The initial allocation of seats is expected to be published by EMA early in the New Year.
