Manchester Tournament - the Waterbowl Weekender coming in 06

For any overseas coaches wishing to attend, I'll be opening Chez Lucifer for free lodgings. Can sleep 2 comfortably (beds), another 2 with reasonable comfort (couches) and about 10 more with the aid of sleeping mats (floor).

Can you get the date sorted please Levinas/Leipziger to make the flights as cheap as possible?

Now that Levinas is back from his travels, we can try and sort a final date and pitch it to the guys at FanBoy. Looking at the DO date and the GW oojmaflip, it's looking like either 18/19 or 25/26. Should know by the end of the week.

Cheers

@ scrounging_git: Hmm, what part of OVERSEAS would Scotland count as?

(note deliberate use of the word 'overseas' rather than 'foreign'

! still, you're top of the reserve list)

@ Leipziger: READ YOUR BL**DY EMAILS!!!!!

@ Leipziger(again): Not sure FB3 can take more than 20 or so coaches. If you want to try a venue just outside of Manchester (Walkden) I can get for the weekend - it holds about 30 WFB players, so that would be about 60 BB coaches. http://www.maws.org.uk/

Walkden would be cool, my brother in law lives in little Hulton

How easy is that place to get to from the train station lucifer? The advantage of FB3 is that its pretty good for transport links.

@ Valen: You jest, surely. I live in Little Hulton too!

@ Sprouty: The venue in Walkden is 3 mins walk from the station, which is on the direct line from Manchester Victoria and via 1 change (at Salford Crescent) from Manchester Piccadilly. Only problem is that trains to/from Walkden don't run on a Sunday, but Bolton station is only 10 mins by car so shuttle runs/taxis can be sorted no worries.

My brother in law lives on parkway in Little Hulton mate

.

You can also get numerous buses from Manchester or Salford

That's all of about 150 yards away! Make sure you drop in next time you're in the area....!

Is there likely to be a Waterbowl CD part II?

I bloody well hope not!!!!!!!

I thought it was a cracking idea! If a bit labour intensive for those writing the CDs til the small hours.

Already started thinking about my track for 06. Come on, tell me it's going to happen!!!

Will there be floor space for me? I won't take up too much room.

I'm from overseas honest (land of the giants)!

After discussing it with Levinas, we are going to request the 18/19 February (we'll find out tonight). Regarding space, I reckon we could get 30 into Fanboy (we are going to ask to take over the shop).

As for Waterbowl CD II, nice to see someone liked the first one

Cheers

The concept of the CD was great, the problem was all the tracks jumping all over the place!!!
