So, it's almost time to Lay it on the (slightly muddy) Line! Huge apologies for the lateness of this info. Women are normally so good at multi-tasking ; ) but the flooded pitches/scheduling nightmare/tough decision making have been a real spanner in the works (I guess that was the problem, only guys know how to use spanners!) Captains/Players, please follow the link below to ONLINE CAPTAINS/PLAYERS PACK, which will also be emailed to the contact address we have for each team. http://www.seultimate.org/schedules/PLAYER-and-CAPTNS_PACK_FINAL.doc CAPTAINS MEETING DETAILS AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: http://www.seultimate.org/schedules/Captains_Meeting.doc CAMPING Security for camping has been booked and the deposit paid. ORIGINALLY CAMPING WAS NOT AVAILABLE; WE HAVE GONE TO A LOT OF TROUBLE TO ARRANGE THIS DUE TO DEMAND FROM TEAMS. If your team has reserved spaces for camping we will still require payment.

Breakfast will be available BOTH days from 07:30- bagels and spreads, fruit and OJ, as well as tea, coffee and hot chocolate. DIRECTIONS Public Transport This venue is very easy to reach by public transport. Please check http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ in advance to ensure engineering works don’t affect your journey! *There are definitely some taking place in the area on sunday.* Get a train or tube to Putney station (NOT East Putney!!!!) and then exit. Directly outside, is a bus stop where the 85 heads straight to the fields. Get on the 85 and it will head out of Putney and onto the back roads alongside the A3. Stay with the bus until it reaches a T-junction with the A3. It will turn right here and then you need to wait until the bus has passed Asda and Texaco on the left and get off by the Roehampton Campus stop. The fields are on your left. Si Hill has completed this journey in rush hour in about 20 minutes, so it's pretty quick! You can get to Putney quickly from Clapham Junction, Vauxhall, Waterloo and also on the District line. You should be able to reach the grounds easily from places like Kingston (e.g. using the #85 in the opposite direction) and Wimbledon, but I would advise you check http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ before setting off! Arriving by car Aren’t AA Route finder, google maps, and Sat. Navs. Amazing? Venue address: Richardson Evans Memorial Grounds, Wimbledon Common, Roehampton Vale, SW15 3PQ. Bear in mind however, you can only get to the fields from the Southbound A3. The turning into the grounds is at the bottom of the hill after Roehampton, just after a large ASDA superstore (on the left) and basically opposite the Robin Hood Gate entrance to Richmond Park. If you are coming from outside London the simplest route is to use Jn 10 of the M25 which puts you on the A3. Arguably it might be quicker to cross London if coming from the North or West depending on the time of day. If coming North up the A3 towards London, you will NOT be able to access the fields unless you turn around and head back down the southbound side of the road. To do this, follow the A3 towards London and at the Robin Hood roundabout (A308 to Kingston on your left) head straight on and then take the next left turn, signposted to Putney Vale Cemetary. This will take you under the road and allow you to join the A3 heading south on the other side. Rejoin the A3, stay in the left hand lane and then take the left turn which will be sign-posted Richardson Evans. If you miss the turning, as it's quite possible to do, then don't panic, get in the right hand lane and do another one 180 degree turn at the roundabout and try again! Parking There is a large amount of parking at the venue but due to the adverse weather conditions the overflow car parks are not easily accessible. Park in the gravel car park at the front of the Pavilion. Please help by parking in a way that helps us make best use of the space available. There is also a rugby match taking place on the Saturday, so we will not be the only ones using the car park. OF COURSE, DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES ON DISPLAY IN VEHICLES. _________________________________________________________________ Free games, great prizes - get gaming at Gamesbox. http://www.searchgamesbox.com __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
