Likewise, once the lost property has been sorted, then this too will be communicated. I would also like to thank a large group of people who made the event possible: Ground Staff – Without their tremendous support, given the weather conditions, this event would have not been possible. Support Staff – Edd Carmichael, Liam Kelly, Benji Heywood and Wayne Retter who worked long hours over the weekend to make sure the event ran smoothly. Si Hill & the Scheduling Committee – Who worked extremely hard on the original schedule only to have to re-write it on the Friday evening. Physio & First Aid – Particularly Nathan who worked non-stop throughout the weekend. Lookfly – For offering complimentary team photos and bringing their merchandise store to the event. Halcyon – For putting up a number of teams around Manchester. Megan Hurst – For organising a church hall for a number of teams to stay in for the weekend. Thanks again to everyone who attended the event, Si Weeks __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
