UKU Beach Nationals 2023 for Mixed and Open will take place this weekend to allow for qualification to EBUCC. Due to a lack of interest, we will not be able to run a Women’s division at this event.
Confirmed teams for this event can be found here: UKU Confirmed Event Entries 2023
After this we plan to run Beach Nationals for the Mixed division in September and for the Women’s and Open divisions in April.
