With the end of season korfball events firmly in the diary, the Executive Committee of the EKA would like to announce their recent decision about England Korfball’s celebrated black tie event: the KorfBall.
This event has been a success on every occasion held and the ExCo are fully supportive of the necessity and enjoyment of this event, and certainly wish to continue supporting this premiere of social extravanganzas for England Korfball. To that extent, the ExCo have agreed that the KorfBall will be held every two years and the date will be set when the calendar is planned at the end of the previous season.
While the KorfBall has a great reputation and an increasing fan-base, each year the EKA has to underwrite the event by a significant amount and of course has to take responsibility for expenditure to its members.
Last season’s event was fantastically well-organised (as in years previous), and, being on the weekend of the national league playoffs and Champions Trophy, a prime opportunity to celebrate with korfers from all over England. Some improvements need to be made to the timing of the event however (for example, there was little in the way of crowds when the Mayor presented the league trophy as spectators had prioritised pre-Ball preparation!).
