To Manny and everyone else.

Indoor regionals is coming up next weekend. So heres as much as I know:

This is a grown-ups tournament, so there?s no accommodation. I suggest
we go up and back on both days. If anyone can drive that would save a
lot of hassle, please post back to the group if you can.

If not, I?m going to get the train on the Saturday morning, if you
fancy a cheaper option, you can book yourself on the bus etc.

The train leaves from paddington and takes between 25 mins and 50 mins,
and is about 10 pounds return.

This is the team im expecting, let me know if you have problems.

UKUA Membership
You can read the section below. They?ve got a new UKUA website, and
they?ve erased all the reams, details etc. Ive tried to create a new
Flump, but there are various issues I cant be bothered to go into.
Hopefully I can set one up next week or so, so we can register online.
If we qualify, or you want to play at Tour, you will have to be paid
members.

Accommodation

I wasn't able to sort out any accommodation/hall space I'm afraid so
obviously it'd be best to go for a hotel/B&B/hostel.

Schedule and Seedings

There will be two pools of 8, followed by crossovers, quarters, semis
and final. The seedings will be done by looking at results from last
year's Nationals, then qualifiers, then on any information I can gather
about a team.

Party

We'll be heading to a pub called The Three B's which is on Friar Street
in Reading. It's a nice place with good beer (plus proper ale if you're
a fan of that). It's in the centre of town so it's easily accessible
from the train and bus station, plus all the restaurants. I've attached
a document with a map which points to the place.

Parking



The leisure centre car park isn't huge, and they'd like to keep it
available for the other users of the centre if possible. There is a big
Asda right next door to the centre and you can park there.

Food

There is a café at the leisure centre where you can buy such
athletically friendly foods such as Tea, Coffee and sandwiches. I
imagine many of you will go to the Asda for lunch, but if you do can
you please refrain from eating anything bought outside whilst in the
leisure centre.

Rostering

A reminder that all players at UKUA sanctioned events, including indoor
Regionals and Nationals, must be paid-up members of the UKUA.

However, this is a slight change from last year, when regionals players
merely had to be online members. Therefore, there will at this late
stage be no harsh penalties for those who have not paid before
regionals, but we nevertheless ask that everyone who can does pay.

At Nationals, rosters will be taken and checked.

Almost everyone who plays regionals will be playing in further UKUA
tournaments this year, so you'll have to pay anyway. Do everyone a
favour and get it sorted now.

Cheers, Benji
