                                            BRITISH KENDAMA OPEN 2017
                                                                  Recap

First of all a massive thank you to everyone that participated. You made the event. We wouldn't have been able to do any of it
without you guys! We would name all of you but there are way too many!

For those that came and attended both the social day and the competition day another round applause to you as
it takes a lot effort and time to attend both. It was the biggest social day we've ever experienced at the BKO which set the stage
for the next day.

It was amazing to see how much the kendama scene here in the UK has grown every year since my first BKO in 2014.
Sooo many new players! Keep spreading the love people. On the same note, it was very hard to fill @The Void shoes after putting such solid work from day 1. We really hope people enjoyed the event and hopefully make the next BKO even bigger. We couldn't have been happier of how the whole thing turned out. However, there are many things to iron out for the next one (my notebook is full) but rest assured ARK is still up for the challenge.

A massive thank you to our sponsors, people wouldn't be walking away with such amazing prizes had they not given us the resources
to do so.
