Tournament Registration – Weigh-in and Height Checks.
As you know the registration for the De Silva Taekwon-do students is being conducted in class at all the academies Wembley, Ruislip and Ealing and will continue until Thursday 10 March.
If for any reason you miss the lesson and miss the registration you will have to make sure that you go on another day to one of our academies (If this is not possible contact the office before 2pm Thursday 10 March for assistance).
Spectators
Spectators will also need a wristband so if they wish they can buy this in advance which means on Saturday morning their queuing time will be limited because there will be a separate entrance for competitors whose details have been checked already and spectators who have already booked their passes.
- Spectators: £5 per person
- Children 5 years or younger: Free
- Each of our competitors is entitled to 3 pre-sale tickets.

Venue Details
- Harrow Leisure Centre,

This is a separate building, which is accessed via the car park, not the main Leisure Centre.
Refreshments
There will be a refreshments stall at the venue where you can buy sandwiches, snacks and drinks.
Parking
There is plenty of space in the car park, but with so many attendees, please make sure you allow enough time so you are not in a rush.
The first 3 hours of parking is free, but you will still need to get a ticket from the machine. Should you be staying longer you can top-up via the PayByPhone App.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, and best of luck to all our Warriors!
