"Scheduling will include an attempt to avoid the England v Paraguay game at 2pm on Saturday."
Appreciating this effort by the schedulers. Is this likely to happen? And if so what provision do we have for a load of people wanting to watch it. Just thinking a clubhouse with one small tv might get swamped by baying, marauding, lagered-up, frisbee hooligans. I know that a fair few people probably don't care but it is the World Cup and if you are going to go to the effort of scheduling around this game then we may as well have the chance to watch it. A pub nearby with a screen would do. I'll send one of our rubbish players (me) to sit at a table all day to reserve it. I personally think the organisers should get a massive cinema sized screen so we can all sit around in the baking sun and watch Rooney spank goals in whilst poking the Paraguayans with his crutches. Or something. Put a vat of cider at the side and it's some sort of frisbee/football/apple utopia. I think this is doable. Think BIG people. Anyway, my team (me) are anxious to know how this will be handled in case they (I) need to slip away quietly during the day. All information gratefully received. I assume we will all be singing God Save the Queen before each game as well. Many Thanks, Berry7.

Entries are flooding in, so please get your payment in before 22 May. Food - PLEASE READ: Breakfast: Bacon and egg sandwiches will be available at the pitches in the mornings Lunch: We are borrowing an idea from Australia and offering Lunch Boxes ...for £50 per team - that's £1.67 per person per day based on a team of 15 people - we will provide a boxed lunch for both days. It will be a roll/bagel-based lunch with humus and plenty of fresh stuff - alternative options will be included for special diets if you let us know in advance. If your team is bigger than 15, let us know. This idea works really well in Australia and is a nice way to share lunch with your team, but we'll only be able to do it if there's enough interest. Please let me know in advance if you want a Lunch Box and include payment with your team fee. In order to make this work, we need a minimum of 15 teams to take it up. * There will not be any other lunch food available at the pitches, although refreshments will be available. Dinner: A BBQ will be available at the picturesque campsite along with a cheap bar * Food will be brought to you by Vanessa White who has all relevant food and hygiene qualifications Accommodation: The campsite is a 15 minute (timed it on Sunday) drive from the pitches and it really is worth the drive. It's in the middle of a country park on the banks of a lake with thick, soft, lush grass, bunny rabbits and birds. We have sole use of the site which has basic facilities - water and toilet block - and there will be a marquee in case of rain. If you're wavering about camping, give it a go. The campsite charges £3.40 per adult per night and £2.20 per child. The closest budget hotels are: Premier Travel Inn - Peterborough (Ferry Meadows) - within walking distance of the camp site...just There are also a couple of Travelodge's and Holiday Inn's, or check out the following links: http://www.4tourism.com/uk/peterborough.html http://www.google.co.uk/local?hl=en&f=l&q=hotel&near=Peterborough&btnG=Search Party: There is a party and it's going to have a summer festival feel, down by the lake. If you or your team would like to contribute to the entertainment, please let me know... We'll have taxi numbers available for those of you not camping. Payment: There are several ways to pay the £150 team fee (or £200 if you want to include the lunch box): 1) Send me a cheque payable to "Iceni Ultimate to: Mixed Tour 3 Flat 3 221 Kings Avenue London SW12 0AT Please provide a contact number and address for each team when you send the cheque. 2) Electronic Transfer Name: Iceni Ultimate Bank: Co-operative Sort: 08-92-99 Acc: 65198290 3) Foreign Transfer - PLEASE email me to let me know you're doing this first and cover the bank charges BIC - CPBKGB22 IBAN / SWIFT - GB26CPBK08929965198290 ACCOUNT NAME - Iceni Ultimate Please have your cheques in by Monday 22 May.
