The food vendors were there at their own risk, meeting their own quality controls, and making their own profits/losses. There were 2 supermarkets (and Tesco's has a cafe) within 5 mins down the road... > I understand the bar ran out of beer and shut early. How much beer does an Ultimate player drink? How many Ultimate players will attend a party? How much beer do you therefore require for an Ultimate party? Does that party end, just because the bar has closed? Anyway, where were you? BTW, I wasn't at the party either... I really wasn't in the mood to face a night of half-pissed Ultimate players griping about the obvious... >and the prizes were a disgrace, especially spirit. Tournaments are run to a budget, to include prizes. For info, this particular tournament wasn't looking likely to make a profit (Paul, are you paying attention here?). If we'd like 'nicer' prizes, we'll have to pay more. Do you actually have any useful proposals for improving things?
