	try more like 6-8 inches. rather like those you might find in a
'rock'-ery.

	no wonder no-one wants to host tour events: it seems to cost 3010
pounds (29x90 + 400) to buy some cones and scoreboards (unless these
are supplied by the u8c?), paper and marker pens, rent a marquee, get
together some pitiful prizes, and hire a bar, groundstaff and some shoddy
pitches. 400 of which is out of your own pocket. not to mention a great
deal of (much appreciated) unpaid time, effort, hassle and abuse.
