The Tournament Ball will be re-branded for 2019. With the suspension of the League there will not be any League Trophies to present. However the Handicap League will continue and be recognised at the Ball along with a number of other Recognition of Achievement Awards. These will be announced during 2019. The Ball is an opportunity to have a great end of season get together as well as little bit of fund raising under a FoT banner. Whatever your involvement in Tournament Waterskiing its a great evening among many friends. So please encourage your Club to organise a table and lets make it bigger and better. More details will be published next year but put the date of 16th November in your diary.
