Thanks very much, Si Weeks [email protected] 07771 661629 Full tournament details follow… All, We are pleased to announce that we have secured a fantastic new (to ultimate) venue to host this year's BUCS UKU University Outdoor Nationals, the University of Manchester Sports Ground. It is a substantial site and as a result will be big enough to host four divisions; the University Open Divisions A & B, the University Women's Division and a brand new division for 2012, the Alumni Cup! The Alumni Cup Have you ever argued that your university team of 2010 was better than the 2005 team? Have you always wanted a re-match of a previous Student Nationals final? Well now is your chance! Gather together your mates and enter a team into the Alumni Cup. This is going to become an annual event so not only will we be able to crown the open and womens' university champions but we will also be able to crown the best university team ever... To be eligible for an alumni team the player must have attended the institution for at least one year. The player does not need to have graduated from that institution. Each university may enter more than one team. Registering & Payment Open A & B: Qualification for both open divisions will be via the regional qualifiers. Qualifying teams will be required to pay within 14 days of qualifying in order to guarantee their spot.

There are currently some good deals at around £30 per room but Manchester United are at home on the Saturday so it will fill up very fast. The postcode for the actual venue does not work correctly so please use M23 0DT for an approximate location. Below are a number of websites that may be useful: http://www.visitmanchester.com/stay (use Manchester Airport for searches) http://www.travelodge.co.uk (use Manchester Airport for searches) http://www.premierinn.com/en/ (use M23 0DT for searches) http://www.britanniahotels.com/ (use Manchester for searches) http://www.hostelworld.com/ (use Manchester for searches) For those student teams that cannot get accommodation funded by their university there will be very limited camping available at a site approx. 5 miles from the venue. This camping option is very limited and therefore will be restricted to those who cannot get accommodation funded by their university. Therefore we strongly recommend all other teams book their accommodation as soon as possible.
