Morning! The final list of teams playing in Edinburgh this weekend is given below.
FRIDAY We'll be meeting in The Crags (the usual pub, for anyone that has been to Beginners before or came up for Tour 4 this year), which is opposite the Commonwealth Pool. There will be someone there to meet you from about 8pm onwards. If we can find ourselves an appropriately tacky shop, there's a chance we'll make it easy for you by wearing stupidly coloured t-shirts. The Crags is an "It's a Scream" pub, so Yellow Cards wil get you cheaper drinks. It shuts at 1am, so if you're going to arrive later than that, give me a ring (07776 187819) and we'll sort something out. Directions are given below. Captains meeting will be just outside the pub. I'll say 11.30pm, to give people a chance to get there, but I'll try to get them to shout it over the speakers incase enough teams arrive to do it earlier, or it gets pushed back. If you're arriving on Saturday, the tournament is being held at Meadowbank Sports Centre (postcode is EH7 6AE. Try www.streemap.co.uk). The schedule hasn't been done yet, so I can't give you first game times, but if you contact me on Friday, I should be able to tell you. That's about it. Any other problems/queries, e-mail me or text/ring (07776 187819). Oh, yeah. Coaches, don't forget your silly hats. There's no particular theme fot the party on Saturday, but feel free to create one for your team! Looking forward to it. Again!

The arrow points to the Commonwealth Pool, which is opposite the pub. I've copied some directions at the bottom of this e-mail, but the easy summary is this: By train - the walk to the pub will take you about half an hour, and since you'll be carrying bags, it's probably not a great idea. It's easiest (and probably about the same price overall) to just get a taxi (there's a taxi rank inside the station - it should be obvious. Failing that, ask) to The Crags (opposite the Commonwealth Pool). If the driver doesn't know where he's going, get out of the cab and walk away slowly. By Plane - get the airport bus (�3.50 one way/�5 return) to the train station By Bus - From the bus station, taxis should be easy. If not, see directions below. By road - directions below -- 1. FROM THE AIRPORT Once you have arrived at Edinburgh Airport you can take either the taxi or the bus. You can catch either type of bus. The fare is about 4 pounds. The bus will finally travel along Princes Street, and stop on Waverley Bridge, just beside the station. Walk back up the road to Princes Street, turn right and follow the road until you get to the lights and turn right up the hill, this is North Bridge. You can KEEP walking along the road. Just after passing The Abbey pub (on South Clerk Street) take a left, and follow the road (East Preston Street) to the T-junction, then turn right. The pub is on the right hand side of the road after one block. This walk will take about half an hour! OR Catch any bus that goes to 'South Clerk Street' from North Bridge, and then walk along in the same direction until you reach The Abbey pub and turn left at the set of traffic lights follow the road (East Preston Street) to the T- junction. The pub is on the right hand side of the road after one block, opposite the Commonwealth Pool. OR Get a taxi to The Crags , which is opposite the Commonwealth Pool. 2. FROM THE BUS STATION The new bus terminal is currently under construction, so the easiest thing to do after arriving at St. Andrews Square is to ask someone (if they look official, this will probably help!) how to get to Princes St. Walk along Princes St away from the shops and North Bridge is on your right. If you arrive at Waterloo Place, walk along Princes St. towards all the shops, and North Bridge is on your left. Walk straight up North Bridge and continue along until the far end of South Clerk Street; at this set of traffic lights take a left (just after passing The Abbey pub) and follow the road (East Preston Street) to the T-junction and turn right. The pub is on the right hand side of the road after one block: this walk will take about half an hour! OR >From North Bridge catch any bus that goes to 'South Clerk Street' and then walk along in the same direction until you reach The Abbey pub and turn left at the set of traffic lights follow the road (East Preston Street) to the T-junction.

Keep on this road until you get to Junction 13 (of the M74) which is at Abington. Follow the signs for the A702. Remember to take the A702 when it forks right shortly after joining the A702, or you'll drive straight onto the A73. The A702 is the usual route to Edinburgh and passes through Biggar. After about 40 miles you will pass the Hillend Artificial Ski Slopes.
