Close - Druids moved the Ross tournament to a venue with better facilities. In the second year at the new venue, a drug related incident resulted in Ultimate becoming locally infamous for the "inherent drug culture" (the actions of a few were seen as typical). The venue has to keep the regular 'local' clients happy, so the Ultimate tournament was never allowed to return... Wayne Retter PS: If Adam Batchelor sorts his life out and books the old venue again, Druids will be able to get everything else organised and Ross-on-Wye '99 invitations should be forthcoming in the not-too-distant future.
