The British Championships is obviously a good event, but for top juniors and their families it can be pricey. This year it is in Aberystwyth. Parents and juniors will have to pay all their own travel, entry and accommodation costs. Just to say it's worth applying to the John Robinson Trust to see if they are able to make a contribution. It normally only covers English players but all British Championship entrants qualify.
At International CS supported events, such as the World youth, Euroyouth and EU Youth, receiving the funded place (provided by the organisers) can cut down costs considerably. The funded place provides free full board accommodation.
There are obviously many other things to consider such as the age of the junior concerned, whether they are "mature" enough to perhaps travel without parents etc.
One thing that is not in doubt is that the international overseas CS supported events are much stronger than the British.
