Still waiting for final confirmation on Tour V - but EXPECT it to be Exeter on July 11/12. GB training sessions are fitted in around it, I will get the dates out when we know for sure about Exeter. 2. It seems that this year we have: Tour I : Leicester March 28/29 Tour II : Swindon April 18/19 Tour III : Birmingham May 9/10 Tour IV : Soton June 20/21 Tour V : Exeter July 11/12 - probably. Apologies to Northern (esp. Scottish) folk for lack of Northern venue - altho' I think inclusion of Brum is an improvement. ********************** 3. Draft of Tour Rules ********************** I've finally done the work I've been promising to do on the tour. I now have an improved (I hope) set of rules. (Hopefully better rules, and also presented in clearer way.) Changes are based on what we learnt last year + comments from lots of people and of course the questionnaires. This version is supposed to be a draft. We'd like as many people as poss to read it and perhaps make suggestions; register complaints, etc. So if you are not worried about details/(or if you trust me!) you can just ignore it all for the moment. But there isn't much time. I need to hear from you by 18th Feb at the latest - to give me time to make any changes that may be necessary and get the whole thing back out to everyone in time for entries to the first tournament. I have two e-versions. One is Word97 document, and the other just plain text, (not so easy to read). I will send the .txt version to BD after this message. If you want the Word 97 version, then email me, and I'll send it back to you. If you want an alternative Word version (eg 6.0) then I guess I could sort that out over the w/e - make sure you give me details. Also Andy Cotgreave will have hard copies at the Women's Tourney this w/e in Oxford; and also at Bristol Indoors next week. I will try to get hard copies to the Regional Tourneys over the next couple of weeks. Thats it. The final version will be given to all teams by beginning of March. Si ps - please print out the new version and show it other players (ie those without email). amtsjh@amsta.leeds.ac.uk Tel: 0113 289 0971 532D Whitehall Rd New Farnley LEEDS LS12 5HZ Sorry - I can't fax copies to anyone.
