If you are really stumped, call Rob or Chris, and we might be able to fix something up. Or suck up to any Headrush players you may know. Like Pete. He's got a big house. Or so Laura tells me. Or is that something else? Anyway... Saturday Night The party on Saturday night will take place at La Rocca night club on Triangle South which opens at around 10pm. A convenient pub to go to beforehand is the Berkeley, (part of the Wetherspoons chain) situated on Queens Road just along from the night club, as it is fairly large and serves a wide variety of beers at acceptable prices. It also serves food if you want to eat here as well otherwise some restaurants are listed below. Restaurants: Dotted around the Triangle area are many restaurants and eateries so there is a wide choice if you are prepared to look but below is a small selection of the more popular choices. Indian All the cheaper curry houses are along a very short stretch of Cotham Hill, which is about a 10-15 minute walk up Whiteladies Road from the night club and the Berkeley. Pick of the bunch is Sultan's which serves the best quality food but if you are looking for rapid service the Balti House is worth a look. If you want a curry house closer by, the Rajdoot Tandoori is at the top of Park Street although is more pricey. Pizza Half way down Park Street on the left hand side (going down) is Pizza Plus and nearer the top down a small side street off to the right (Berkeley Square) is Pizza Express. Both have a good choice of Italian food at reasonable prices. Mexican On Triangle West you will find Chiquitos, a Mexican restaurant which also has a huge cocktails menu which are at happy hour prices untill 8pm. Just a word of warning, there is no McDonalds or Burger King in this part of town if that's what you are after. Tournament Format First round: In four pools of six each team will play the other five in the pool getting 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw.
