As a Tournament Director keen to organise events, with the minimum of hassle, I've got a particular interest in this one. Personally, I reckon it's way past time to be looking for dates and venues for 2002 outdoor season events and organising the Diary. What particular plans do you have, Si ? It sounds like you want to set up some kind of group to make the organisation of the Diary somewhat easier - but how so? Do you have any plans to do anything controversial? What are your views on: - 'Profiteering' from tournaments; - Potentially clashing Open / Mixed / Women's events; - Making the Tour more manageable; - International events (e.g. Paganello; Bruges; Rotterdam; Geneva; Dive Hard) clashing with major UK events; - How to encourage new Tournament Directors and venues. Looking forward to your response, Wayne ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Retter mobile: 07970-903420 w.retter@bigfoot.com office: 01737-273655
