Following the recent escalation of the Coronavirus, and subsequent Government and RFU guidelines, the difficult decision has been taken to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Tigers Challenge festivals at Butlin’s Bognor Regis (April17-20) and Butlin’s Minehead (May 8-11).

All families who have an accommodation booking through ESF at Butlin’s will receive a full refund from Butlin’s. Team deposit payments will also be refunded by ESF Events. Details of the refund process have been emailed to group leaders.

Please note there is no need to contact Butlin’s direct. For more information or if you would like to discuss any of the notice in further detail, email [email protected] with your contact telephone number and they will call you back.

The 2020 Tigers Challenge was set to be our biggest and best year so far, but that can wait. The Tigers Challenge will be back in 2021 and we very much hope to see you all there.

All teams who had booked this year will be given an exclusive period to book again for 2021 before registration opens to all other clubs.

Huge thanks to all Challenge partners and suppliers who had already invested so much time and effort in preparation for the 2020 festivals. We look forward to working with you all again next year.

Stay safe, keep well, and we look forward to catching up with you all again at the 2021 Tigers Challenge.
