Tashbash 5 - 1st & 2nd November (Lancaster: NW)
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2024 9:45 pm
Welcome back to Tashbash people!!! 
We are going to be running our 5th Tournament for Movember. We have gone from strength to strengthen with this even and you people have just been AMAZING!!!!! Due to the UK Masters beating us to the post date wise, we will now be kicking off the month of Movember instead of closing the month as normal (I'm gonna have to paint a Mo on my face for the weekend 
).
This is a charity Blood Bowl tournament held to raise money for the https://uk.movember.com/ foundation and help raise awareness for mens physical health, mental health and suicide prevention. Even though the Covid pandemic and Lockdown are both in the rear view mirror, the impact on people's mental health still remains. This ranges from increased anxiety and depression, through to suicidal ideation and suicide itself. Movember funds over 1250 projects for mens health across 20 countries! Together we can help raise awareness of these issues and help fellow Mo Bro.
The tournament will be held in the lovely (cough) city of Lancaster in the NW just off the M6 (So easy to get to). There are plenty of hotels in and on the edge of the city. Some great real ale pub (as well as not so great pubs) and a variety of nightlife. There am will be 50 places available

Yes, 2025 sees the NW join the UK tournament series! Tashbash is 1 of the last tournaments of the year, and the 2nd biggest in the NW. Tashbash offers MAXIMUM tournament series point for the winner, and thus the potential to clutch the title. For more information visit the topic on TFF.

We will be relocating to Lancaster House Hotel!!! Those who have attended the Prostate Cancer tournament here in Lancaster will know the place. This move means that there will be food and drink available through the weekend. They have also said that attendees will be able to get a discount on rooms if they stay over. I will find out what this discount is and let you know.
