If you are not sure if you are in this region or not then please get in touch. __________________________________________________________ BUF NORTH & MIDLANDS OUTDOOR REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 1997 (aka the Guy Fawkes Outdoors) It's that time of year again, to pit your skills against the cream of North and Midlands Ultimate (and the weather) in the regional championships. Yeah, right. With nationals over the tournament this year will have a different focus. Instead of providing a set number of teams for National Finals, the aim will be to introduce as many new players to the outdoor game before the rush to the comfort and warmth of the sports halls, and to let people know what the real game of Ultimate is all about. For those of you who have been playing all Summer this is your final chance to enjoy real competition in the vast spaces of an outdoor field before 1998. And there's the added bonus of the regional trophy! You know it makes sense. On to the details: The Date: - 1/2 November 1997 The Venue: - Adams Grammar School, Newport, Shropshire The Price: - £60 per team Further details (maps, schedules etc.) will be forwarded on receipt of your entry fee. Please make all cheques payable to S. Hill. Food will be available on-site throughout the weekend, and there is the possibility, as yet unconfirmed, that we may have access to a small amount of indoor accomodation. This will be available on a first come, first served basis, for a nominal fee. Camping will be possible for the hardier amongst you, and we will also distribute an accomodation list for the area. Seeing as the tournament is so late in the year, we will have a relaxed start, to give time for the greasy spoon/paracetmol to take effect. We will also be looking to finish play early in order for the traditional Saturday evening festivities to begin. On to the important bit. We need to have a guaranteed 12 teams coming for the tournament to go ahead. Therefore, should you wish to enter, can you send your entry fee to Simon Hill at the address below by Friday 17 October. (I might accept a deposit and/or a lot of grovelling about paying on the day - it depends on how convinved I am that you are definitely coming!) ****************************************************** Failure to have 12 teams registered by this point will mean that the tournament will be cancelled. ****************************************************** I think that's it for now. If you wish to enter, ask questions, or just hear a friendly voice, please contact Simon Hill at the address below. See you in November!
