Hello all,
Just to go on record, I was not having a go at the organisers. It is a real shame that the pitches were in such a bad way!
The venue seemed on (first arrival) very promising. I think we need to just keep in mind that one of the key criteria is the pitch quality... the rest is a bonus and while people would complain at camping etc not beening on site the point is we get to
play in a relativly safe environment, injuries happen and we all except this, but lets not start at a disadvantage! I think that if these pitchs could be re-laid or modified into an exceptable condition, it would be a fantastic venue!
The rest of the organisation etc... seemed very good. All credit to the people who took time out to sort it all.
Cheers Hannah

Before things get out of hand...
Can't speak for the whole of catch, but I wouldn't like
to think that we did anything as politically provocative
as boycot the event. We just didn't think that we could
play safely on the pitches. Obviously, we're gutted that
we didn't get a chance to compete and improve on our Tour
I position. But we're also really sorry for Nancy that
the venue (in my opinion) is not suitable for ultimate
despite all her effort. Perhaps Towcester racecourse
might consider laying some playing field?...
