Senior European Festival (SEF)
This was a three day outdoor tournament normally held over the August bank holiday weekend. Created in 1986 this tournament was more about the fun of Tchoukball than pure competitive Tchoukball, as at times the weather turned bad. This was memorable in 1986 when the tournament’s last day was hit by high winds and driving rain and a lot of players had trouble standing up let alone catching a Tchoukball. The inaugural SEF tournament was held in the grounds of Portchester castle but the tournament moved to the University grounds at QEQM Hall in Portsmouth where it was held for the next seven years. Over the following years many people helped run this tournament. Main responsibility was down to Martin Robbins, Andy Oliver (Oly) and their merry band of helpers.
