XXII Ben van der Eng Memorial, april 2021, CANCELLED. However..
Fight during the Special Needs World Judo Games, part of the XXI Ben van der Eng Memorial in 2019
It is still entirely unsure whether our society will be back on its feet in April 2021. Normally, SNJF would have started it first invitation run in September 2020, and its first preparations in August, for the organisation of a large event like the Ben van der Eng Memorial (BENG) takes months of preparation.
The Board of SNJF however does not see enough opportunities to continue the organisation for April 2021, and we are unsure whether we will even be allowed to organise the largest Special Needs Judo event in the world, with 500+ participants and 1000+ guests.
Therefore, the XXII Ben van der Eng Memorial for April 2021 will be CANCELLED.
HOWEVER..
The SNJF Board are discussing a possibility to still organise an event in April, during the BENG weekend. We are still in discussion, and we hope to have more information on this soon.
