It would be of great help if you could reply at your earliest convenience to state your intention to attend the event so that the organizing committee can prepare accordingly.
It would also be helpful if you could provide an early estimate of athletes and coaches for the CKF (national team) Championship as well as referees that may attend.

I look forward to seeing you in September in Birmingham!
The SKGB would like to wish our members a happy International Women's Day. Congratulations and thank you to every woman and girl who has started karate this year, continued karate through a pandemic, continued coaching through the pandemic, gained qualifications, and/or started competing again. We have a wealth of talented women and girls in Scottish karate who continue to inspire women, men, girls and boys alike - thank you!
The SKGB in support of the current situation in the Ukraine will cease sporting relations with Russia, meaning that we will not participate in any matches where Russia are involved.
We cannot condone the actions of the Russian Government and feel we must support the Ukraine during this devastating time.
This is a matter of principle, and we support all other organisations who have acted similarly from within the sporting community and beyond.
Many thanks to everyone that applied for selection for the championships. It is very positive for us to see such a great input from you all, thanks again.
Please see the selected athletes attached.
We look forward to working towards these events with the athletes selected and continuing to work with all other athletes attending National Squad Training.
