This weekend saw the Exeter Hat tournament. Sadly this year the numbers who competed were quite low, but enough to make 5 teams and thus four, hard fought games on Saturday, and 4 teams on Sunday. The standard of play was much harder than I remembered from 2 years ago, with teams gelling together almost immediately. Although there was a constant wind most of the days, teams did pretty well upwind as well as downwind. With the summer Tour now dominating the schedules, it's good to have a tournament like this where the goal of winning takes second place to playing well with new people and playing purely for the joy of playing. Thanks to the Exeter folks for putting on this tournament, and thanks to the people who did come down and make this weekend so special. Love & Luck, Lawrence Teams 3 and D (and sometimes Fingers 6) ------------------------------------ l.paulson@mmu.ac.uk -------------------------------------
