As requested, I have stuck these on the web also:- http://homepages.webleicester.co.uk/bravil/Leicester.doc This is a rather large (2mb) Word 97 doc so I have attached the raw text below and put the map alone on the web at: http://homepages.webleicester.co.uk/bravil/leicestermap.gif I have not included any schedule details yet (still to be finalised with Chris Hughes) but you can assume a 9am captains meeting and a 9:30am start. Full schedule to follow. There are still places available for the C Division 'Not the Nationals' which will be limited to 8 teams max. Contact me ASAP if you are interested. Hassle or pay me at Eastbourne if you like. Ben ===================================== Dear Team Contact, 1999 BUF National Outdoor Finals Victoria Park, Leicester 25/26 September Congratulations on qualifying in the top sixteen in the UK. It is assumed that you wish to take part in the tournament so there is no official deadline for entries but in order that competition schedule can be prepared in time can you please forward your entry fee to arrive no later than Saturday 18th September. About the Tournament…… Format The top sixteen will play in two separate divisions of eight with no cross-over between divisions as per the Tour. Round robin in pools of four on the Saturday will be followed on Sunday by semi-finals and finals to determine placing. There will be no quarter-finals as these games will already have been played on the Saturday within the pool. There will also be a third division for teams who want a cheap tournament with the chance to watch the big games on the Sunday (i.e. to provide some spectators!) Venue We have secured the cricket area on Victoria Park which promise far superior quality pitches than the last tournament at this venue. It should also be noted that park has had all summer to recover from the previous football season so it should be in great condition. There will be eight pitches for the top two divisions so the games can be spaced evenly with no teams having to play back-to-back games. Facilities Showers, marquee, cones, water, scoreboards as normal. Car parking on the coach drive along the side of the park. Physios and First-aiders from the Academy of Sports Therapy. Public address system to make sure everyone knows where they are playing and what results have come in. A runner for each of the three divisions to make sure everything is running smoothly. Accommodation We have tried to provide a range of options for differing wallet sizes. Please see the attached accommodation sheet for details. Entertainment Many of you will remember the legendary party when P.J. Baker and the Leicester All-stars performed at ‘The Shed’ nightclub. Well we’re back at The Shed again with FREE ENTRY BEFORE 10PM to see the recently signed Ainsley Lister Band (rock/blues) plus support from Vigorous (rock covers) plus a Sixties Disco in the lower room of the club. Publicity In Leicester we pride ourselves on the level of publicity we attract and if all goes to plan this tournament will be no exception. Already covered in the Leicester Link magazine (reaching every household in the city) and the Leicester Mercury, we are making a concerted effort to get the event noticed. Look out for more radio and newspaper articles nearer the time. Who knows, there may even be some spectators! Money As I mentioned above, I would appreciate full payment by the weekend of the British Open at Eastbourne. Cheque for £100 Payable to ‘Red Ultimate Club’ To Leicester Ultimate Club PO Box 1075 Leicester LE2 1YQ Look forward to seeing you all.
