THE EUROPEAN, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICAN (EAME)

BAREFOOT WATER SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS 2008


The Event
British Water Ski has successfully bid to host the EAME Barefoot Championships in August 2008 at the West Midlands Water Ski Centre Near Tamworth Staffordshire. This site has excellent facilities for both skiers and spectators and has excellent road links. The water ski runs are purpose built and provide excellent spectator viewing and sponsor hospitality opportunities.

The event will last five days with Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th of August staging the Junior and Senior events and the Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st staging the elimination rounds for the Open events. The open Finals will be held on Friday 22nd.

The event is being operated Monday to Friday this year due to the constraints over the availability of the lake. The lake has an excellent website at www.wmwaterski.com

The team hotel will be:
Premier Inn
Tamworth Central
Bonehill Road
Tamworth

There are currently sufficient rooms available and can be booked in blocks of 4 rooms on the internet or in groups of up to 30 rooms via the telephone.

Alternative Hotels will be advised if required.

Camping will be available on site for both Camper Vans and Tents. All camping on site will be Free, however a donation would be welcome towards a thank you gift to the site owner. Camping for those who like being under canvas would be encouraged as the closing event will be held at the site and many of the organisers will also be camping.

The Competition

The lake is split into three and we have exclusive use of lakes one and three. The larger lake which is in front of the decking area will form the prime lake for the event and the Jump will take place on lake 1. This has very good bank next to the jump from which to watch the event.

The Boat for the event will be a Flight Craft with a 200hp Optimax engine. Training will be available on lake one using the reserve boat (another Flight Craft with a 200hp Optimax engine), subject to booking. This boat will also be used for have a go coaching as part of the BWSF widening participation initiative.

Boat to Shore Video with live streaming of the event will be available on the spectator decking along with a hot tub and a licensed bar and restaurant, just to help you relax.
