Perhaps we need some proper rubbish bins for the bigger events?
Can one not get some sort of frame/ring type thing which holds up a bin
liner more visibly?

Next BUF purchase?


Alternatively, write "endzone" on a skip and see what happens!

>Hi,

>Just trying to spark a discussion on one of the biggest problems about
running a tournament. I really don't mind spending most of my day running
around filling up water containers because the fields are so poorly
equipped, that's what you accept when you book them.
>
>What does really annoy me though is the sheer mess left at the end of each
day around the pitches, and the camping area. If it wasn't for the hard work
of volunteers in clearing up tournaments like Exeter, Ross-on-Wye, etc. we
would lose these venues.
>
>I would have loved to have seen more than 2 points of the UTI - Catch 22
final, but I couldn't because of the amount of rubbish left everywhere that
had to be cleared before I could drive 250 miles home again. There really is
no excuse for it. Black bin liners were everywhere (almost), so why didn't
more rubbish make its way into them?
>
>If anyone has any ideas how to tackle this problem, then please suggest
something. We try and keep tournaments as cheap as possible, but we are
going to have to look at employing people to clear up after us.
