Huge thanks to Dave and the Aberdeen crew for an absolutely splendid
tournament. Fantastic venue, fantastic people, even fantasticker weather.
You lot that didn't come missed out big time. And Aberdeen isn't as far
away as you think - it's only 2 hours from Edinburgh, so well within reach
of Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham etc etc etc. One of our players
came all the way from Amsterdam for the weekend.

Sneeekys - British Beach Ultimate Champions
Well - there's no other UK beach tournaments in the diary, so anyone that
wants our Lonsdale belt is gonna have to organise one, invite us and beat
us....
