Players based abroad wanted for the Waterbowl Manchester, UK

Leipziger · Post by **Leipziger** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 1:02 pm

Last year at the Waterbowl, we were lucky enough to have two foreign coaches (Odium and Gorbad), one of whom travelled from overseas to play. We would love to have more coaches from overseas come and give our tournament a more international flavour. Geoff (Lucifer) is offering 2 free places for players based abroad and, presuming my girlfriend doesn't object, i should be able to offer free accommodation for a player too. Anyone interested?

The dates of the tournament are 17/18 February 2007 and the tournamen is held in city centre, Manchester. more details can be found on the tournament postings thread.

Cheers

He he, I'm coming this year as well. Sorry to disappoint you though but I live one and a half hour by train from Manchester since last year.

Hm, maybe I should have kept that a secret.

I'd recommend this for the foreign coaches. It may not be the largest tournament but it did have a great atmosphere amongst the coaches that were there, and being in the centre of Manchester gives plenty of options for the nights out.

Barring standard 'Gorbad-ness' (i.e. not booking in time, not bothering to get time off from work, etc), I will be there, this is one of the tourneys I'm looking forward to.

Here's hoping the bed at Chez Porrit is still available (and yes, I will be bringing my own coffee this year, none of that Nescafe crap).

Last I heard it was...

Lucifer - you out there?

Hope to see you there, and there's plenty of time for us to try out the decent (ish) coffee houses in the area...

Yes, still here (just been in the pubs in Hartlepool over christmas - pubs don't have internet access

)

Chez Porritt / Casa del Pod / dun Porrittin is definitely open for guests.
