Hi Folks, the date is down, 3rd/4th September 2016, the venue is booked, the Tithe Sport and Social Club in Rayners Lane (not too far from Wembley), the format is nearly sorted, Saturday, themed after the FA Cup of '52 either Santiago or Top Spin (I will sort this out ASAP), Sunday, any base you like, don't be clever

, Subbuteo no FISTF bases

, prices £10 for one day, £17 for both days, The Saturday tournament will be named "Garry Wright Trophy" (hence why the '52 FA Cup, the year he was born), I guess most of you knew dear old Gazza and needless to say part of the money collected will go to a charity of the Wright family choice, there will be a fair and therefore who ever is interested in selling is invited to get in touch with me, the venue is big enough to allocate the fair both days without having the rush of moving everything out to let the tournament kick off, so a full week end of selling, also the venue offers a licensed Bar, with satellite/cable tv, darts, pool tables, snooker tables, refreshment all at decent prices, no, no lap dancers sorry, you'll be entertained enough already

.
What else? Oh yeah, tournaments to be played on Baizes, and on that count get in touch if you have some to sell and, in case we'll need them, Astropitches, also I'm not planning to limit the number of participants but 32 (both days) would mean a great experience, more would mean an amazing dream, draws will avoid, where possible clash at the groups stages between players from same club, also semifinals will be handle in a way that if we have two people from the same country (ie 2 Italians and 2 english) they will play each other in order to have two different nations represented in the finals. I'll communicate the chosen teams as soon as possible, from that moment you'll be able to reserve your favourite team by paying a non refundable deposit of £10 or otherwise you can wait to have one drawn just before the date of the tournament. I think I covered most of the plan, any queries you know where to find me don't you?
