To get 4 tourneys on one w/e spread out around the coutnry + find another, top flight venue for finals a couple of weeks later is NOT EASY. I'm sure that Scott amongst others will agree with that. Two things. 1. The finals are actually the 22/23 March (not the 21/22) - although that would be obvious if you looked at a calendar. 2. Just to add to Paul's tactful comments about going to Edinburgh. This is an extremely good venue. And indeed was the best on offer when all things are taken into account, eg accomodation. We are trying to ensure that next year's event happens at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, where there is EVEN MORE SPACE, and in the middle of the country too! But for this year we were just too late. (That was when I approached them in early September. Which incidentally was also around the first time I asked to hear from people interested in running the finals.) 3. Having been to many tourneys in Edinburgh with the Sneeeky's can I just remind you that their hospitality is always second to none and that all the pubs stay open longer than down here, which is obviously emminently sensible. Cheers Si (a mercifully short message I'm sure you'll agree)
