Hi All,

I'm looking at taking advantage of the Special Jubilee bank holiday weekend by holding 4 days of tournaments (probably a total of 7 tournaments, 2 per day with only 1 on Sunday to allow people to get away at a sensible time).

I just need to see if there's sufficient interest in such a meet...?

Start date: Thursday 2nd June Time probably 9 am (!) Finish Sunday 5th June, once you're knocked out of the final tournament.

Maximum of 40 people each day with priority given to those that can attend all 4 days, then 3 days, 2 days, then a single day.

A suggested cost of £25 per day, which might include a sit down cooked meal (if I can find a reasonable supplier for the right money) and a tiny trophy for the tournament winners.

This will be hard core tournament play like that found at Bulls and Balls in Germany. Tournament in the morning, a break for food and then another tournament in the afternoon/evening. I hope to shut around 8pm each night but that will be dependant on how late each tournament is running.

Tournament formats from any of the following:
Flip Frenzy
4 player matchplay
Head to Head
Best score
Pingolf
I will be aiming to have 100% TGP for the tournaments.

A mix of main and classic machines.

Like I say, just gauging interest at the moment to see if it's feasible or not. So add your name (and number of days) to the list if you're up for it.

I'll be likely running an event at that weekend also Peter but not for 4 days.
 
This sounds amazing - would've been well up for a few days of tournaments, but (barring any travel issues) I'll be away on honeymoon at that time. Going to miss a lot of meets this year it seems (pinfest always falls on my other half's birthday weekend), but can't complain I guess.
Just thought I'd comment anyway to show support/demand for this kind of thing👍🏻- sounds like it'll be a blast!
 
A quick update with the List:

1. Peter - all 4 days
2. Luke - all 4 days (woop woop)
3. Dan - all 4 days
4. Phoebe -- all 4 days
5. Effie - all 4 days
6. Hilary - all 4 days
7. Rich - all 4 days
 
Just gone to put this in the calendar, to find that it is the school holidays, but we're going away for the week. (I really should start listening when Lou tells me stuff!)

So me and the girls won't be able to make it after all. :(

Not ideal time with work for me - should be able to do at least 2. Perhaps more, but won't know until pretty close to the time
