In fact we really should be planning 1998 NICs (thats National Indoor Championships for those who don't know Bud-speak) but we still have to do 1997!! The more we can "announce" by the end of Sept. the better... (for Sport Council reasons that I won't bore you with) Obviously there is NO WAY we can sort the whole thing by then. But I would like to settle the dates by then - that gives us all about a week to do some thinking... At this point, I want to hear from ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERING or IS INTERESTED in hosting one of the 4 regional tourneys and/or the finals. In order to help you, at this point we can work from mid-Feb into mid-March (roughly)... if you can check availability at your intended venue you will prob. find that they are mostly booked up - which is why I am leaving it so open *temporarily*. I will be fixing the dates by Friday next week - thats the 27th Sept. What I need now is to hear from interested parties about what they wnat to do and *WHEN* their venue is free... no good me specifying 2 w/es only to find that nothing is available. Sorry for shortness of time. NB - I'm NOT asking for proper bids by next week. I just want to get an impression of whats-what with venues and dates. NB - Also, some people may be planning other tournaments over Feb and March. eg Warwick Indoors, (obviously Ralf and I already know about that one!) If you are planning something for then - it would help if you could let me know about it - because otherwise I won't know which w/es to avoid.... Again - I don't need all the details - but vague plans would help! Obviously, not everyone is on email - don't forget to mention this to the other people in your team if you are not the person who normally thinks of running a tourney. Thanks. Hope you can help - look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again Simon ps - invites for OUTDOOR regionals should be arriving through your doors anyday now....
