In addition to the above, we are also seeking to futureproof upcoming international tournaments by increasing the number of people who are willing and able to be Tour Managers, helping to organise and co-ordinate the overall campaign. This is a crucial role, and having the European Touch Championships in Nottingham offers the opportunity for individuals to shadow the Tour Manager for an insight into what is needed.
