A lot of people are inquiring about the tour (where, when, can I host, avoid
this, avoid that).
Until the EFDF let the BUF know where and when the wandering landmine that
is the European Championships will be then the tour is in limbo. We have
some plans and venues provisionally booked, but they are not definite until
the event can be confirmed. Therefore please ensure that your contact
details are up to date on the BUF website. (If you are a defunct team -
please make sure you have removed the team from the list) This is important
as when we decide to move, deadlines and flexibility will be limited.
However if people want to help - the thing that we need (and don't yet have)
is a venue for T1. Somewhere in UK, sometime in April, with as many pitches
you can get (8 will work, 10 is good, 12 is useful).
To those people who want me to avoid the weekend after Rimini, the weekend
before Rimini, Rimini itself, Brugge, Rotterdam (they're sounding hopeful
this year!). When you are dictated to by the few feasible venues in the
country, you take what you can get. I will try as hard as I can to avoid the
tournaments, but the timing of your holidays is your choice.
