The Taijiquan & Qigong Federation for Europe (TCFE) European Championships 2008
Monday 18 August 2008 at 8:06 pm 
The TCFE European Championships takes place over the weekend of 7 – 9 November 2008 in Sweden and is hosted by Paul Silfverstrale.
All entrants from the UK must be members of the TCUGB and some financial support from the TCUGB may be possible for competitors.
Registration procedure
All participants must complete the online entry form on this website.
This web based entry form will generate a summary in plain text which participants must send by email to the representative of their national TCFE member organization, together with the appropriate payment (in Pounds Sterling). In the UK’s case the member organisation is the TCUGB and the representative is Ronnie Robinson.
The representative will collect all received entry forms and fill out a summary form. When all entry forms have been received the representative will send the summary form to the organizers by email.
The representative will also transfer the payment for all the participants to the organizers using the following bank account: IBAN SE4580000816959832352646, BIC SWEDSESS The name of the receiver is Svenska Taiji & Qigong Förbundet.
The above means that each organization representative, for example in TCUGB, or any member organization of the TCFE, has to collect the total amount of registrations and send them plus the "summary form" and make the payments at the same time (one transfer for all participants). We cannot wait until the competition date with the payments.
The entry forms are online
All officials should also directly contact both the organisers and Ronnie Robinson
Please note all entries must be submitted by 19th September 2008.
