Shite tourney

Right.
I want to do a little low budget tourney in May, ideally under the S.H.I.T.E (Scottish Hardcourt Intercity Tournament (in England)) banner that those Scots have been using, nice easy 1 day, low budget jobby like Newcastle was. Probably a Saturday, invite Scotland, Newcastle and Sheffield, keep it casual and have fun. Shouldn't take much work, formatting will be little group games and a 3 game guarantee double elim or suttin, might need to put a few people up for the night if they stay down but that'll be about it I reckon. What do you all think?

When you thinking date-wise? I can only do May 12/13 and 26/27; brum can only do Sundays; and there's Cambridge 19/20 which most teams will go to, therefore might not travel again on weekends either side of that.

12/13 may is good with me also

12/13 may is perfect for me. It's the excuse I need to avoid doing the stupid Welsh 3k bullshit I said I'd do if I was free that weekend!

is the 28th/29th april an option?

I'll put that down as the provisional date, I have no problem with doing a Sunday, it just might impact of travel if people need to stay over. I'll invite Brum up if we're low on numbers but don't want it getting too big, and if it's a S.H.I.T.E tourney I dunno how far north is close enough to Scotland. If Scotland can't make it then we can always make it a N.O.B (North Of Britain) or G.R.I.M (Grey Regions In the Middle) and invite whoever.

Pre-emptive interest from Edinburgh, Glesga and New'astle, might have a tourney on our hands at this rate.

Awesome - happy to put a team up accommodation-wise (even if it requires using the polobus in the street)...

Let's make sure we get everyone in a team for this - Doom Mallets, Slag Hammer and Young Bangers step up!

Close enough.
Picked up my bike this morning after yesterdays crash. Chainstay or crank is bent as well as the back wheel, the rest of the bike is surprisingly untouched. I think my hand is out of action for a little while too.

Sad panda.

^^ I would refuse the offer, but I doubt it'd make any difference.

Looks like I won't be getting new kit on the insurance. Unless I can find the bloke who hit me only medical costs and loss of work is reimbursed. Found a potential new frame.
