Doncaster College are pleased to announce a one-year sponsorship for Beau, this will help to fund further tournaments and will go towards travel expenses with competitions taking place in Scotland and even in Denmark. “The tournaments have been on hold for so long because of the pandemic so I plan on doing as many as I can this year and I’m really excited for them”
