Dear Masters/Instructors/Competitors,

We are honoured and excited to welcome you to participate in the 2019 ITF European
Championships and the European Kup Tournament in Cork, Ireland. The tournament will run
from 23rd – 28th July and is open to All ITF members.

Cork, Ireland's second city is first in every important respect – at least according to the locals,
who cheerfully refer to it as the 'real capital of Ireland'. It is certainly the capital of TaeKwon-Do
in Ireland with huge numbers of ITF practitioners. It's a liberal, youthful and cosmopolitan place
that is now busily reinventing itself with spruced-up streets, revitalised stretches of waterfront,
and – seemingly – an artisan coffee bar on every corner. The best of the city is still happily
traditional – snug pubs with live-music sessions, restaurants dishing up top-quality local produce,
and a genuinely proud welcome from the locals. The compact city centre is set on an island in
the River Lee, surrounded by waterways and packed with grand Georgian avenues, cramped
17th-century alleys, modern masterpieces such as the opera house, and narrow streets crammed
with pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants, fed by arguably the best foodie scene in the country.

In the Summer of 2019, Cork will welcome the best of the best from the great continent of
Europe and other friendly nations to crown the newest ITF European Champions across all
divisions of ITF rules competition. In addition to the formal ITF European Championships
there will be an Open Kup championships of sparring and tul for all ages of competitor.

Packages

The ITF European Championships will be administered slightly different in that we are
recommending Hotels to stay at but are not compulsory. Accommodation. transport to and
from hotel to both venue and airport are the responsibility of all delegates. Previously the cost of
the event is covered by both entrance fees and a percentage from dedicated packages. As there
are no dedicated Hotel packages the percentage normally obtained from this source will now be
added to the entrance fees.

Therefore, the cost per competitor entry is $250. This flat fee allows attendees to pick their own
hotels, hostels, B&B, Airbnb, camping etc. and to make the costs suit their individual budget.

                                              Costs:

 Competitor ITF European Championships               $250
