Junior European Festival (JEF)
This was an indoor tournament held over 3 days in March. Based in Portsmouth and the surrounding area, participants included children from under 10 up to 16 years old, it was a logistical nightmare for the organisers. At its peek this tournament had over 80 teams playing at 3 different venues. This tournament started in 1982 and carried on until 2002. Many players today played in this tournament and gained a lot of experience from it.
There were many people behind JEF over the years that helped out. Here is just a few: Jan Hardacre, Graeme Young, Keith Page, Gary Poling, Andy Wolfe, Andy Oliver, Martin Robins, Maxine Wood, Lorraine Morgan, the Bosher family, the Pragnell family, Alex French, Steve Hutchinson and many more people. Without these people the JEF tournament could never have been staged. Sadly JEF takes place no more.
