Located in the Sefton Park area of Liverpool, approximately 3 miles
from the city centre. Good road links with M62 / M57 and M56.
BY TRAIN: Travel to Liverpool Lime Street, and change to Mossley Hill.
It's likely that you'll have to get a train bound for Manchester
Oxford Road, and get off at Mossley Hill on the way.
BY FOOT: From Mossley Hill Station, without crossing the rail bridge,
walk up the hill, past student accommodation, following the road
straight until you reach a crossroads. Go straight on, until you reach
the park road. Follow this to the right, until it turns sharply to the
right. There is a small bridge ahead of you. Cross it, and continue
along the park road until you reach a small car park to the left.
There is a fork to the right - take the right hand fork. The Academy
is appx 100 yards on the right. This walk is just under 2 miles, so be
prepared to walk for aroudn 20-25 minutes to get there!
BY PLANE: From Liverpool Airport - Frequent bus links to the city
centre (Queens Square Bus Station) run half hourly. The bus station is
opposite Lime Street Station, where you should continue as above.
From Manchester Airport - Frequent rail links run to Liverpool Lime
Street, where the above directions can be applied.
BY CAR/COACH - From the South - Get to the M6, and follow it North
until the junction with the M62 towards Liverpool. Follow this until
the end of it, at Broad Green. Follow the connecting A Road left,
continuing across the roundabout, until a crossroads. At the
crossroads, go straight on down the A5058, under the rail bridge,
turning right after the college, down Greenbank Road. Pass Ibbottsons
Lane to the left, and turn down Greenbank Lane on the left hand side.
The Academy is on the left appx 200 yards down the road.
From the North / North East - Follow the M62 until Broad Green, then
follow the above instructions.
Format:
15 minute games, teams split into two seeded pools, based upon
previous tournaments.
The Sunday will see the crossover of the two pools, with awards for
plate (9th), Spirit, and 1st. Possible award for 2nd and 3rd too,
depending upon amount of interest.
Minimum of 14 teams are needed for the event to go ahead, and places
are based upon a first-come-first-served basis. Primary Cheque
Deadline 31st January*.
Please before sending your cheque can the captian of each team email
me to tell me how many players / spectators they expect to come, how
many teams they'll be entering, and what their accommodation plans
are, as this will help the event run a little more smoothly.
*Any teams paying after this date may not have a place, as I've
already had a lot of interest.
Accommodation:
Onsite accommodation is available, based on several sharing. I'm
currently in talks over this with the accommodation manager of the
Academy, but provisionally should be able to have 42 people onsite.
These places must be offered first to school teams who cannot be split
up, such as Airbadgers and Arthur Terry. If you want this, I can
arrange it with the Academy, but alternative accommodation is
organised by yourselves. Breakfast / Lunch / Tea is NOT included in
the price.
There is a YHA Hostel situated in Liverpool, adjacent to Albert Dock,
and 10minutes from the City Centre, and 3/4 mile from Liverpool Lime
Street. PRICES: Adult £20.50/night, Under 18 £15.50/Night.

Alternatively, there is a smaller place available for upto 30 people,
but this MUST be pre booked ASAP to ensure places! Kev Lowe has used
this in the past, and reccommends it, so if you've got any questions,
please email me, and I shall endeavour to forward them on to him.
