UK Team Challenge - Jan 10-11, 2015

[Sandwich]

I would love a trip back to York, its been too long since my uni days. However, it very much depends on getting a weekend pass from the family... not easy. Maybe if I offer it as a World Cup alternative I'll be able to come (or else, maybe I'll get an Italian trip instead )

Train or car from Huntingdon isn't too bad.

If I can get a pass for the weekend I'd be interested. Not sure if I could get a team though from Huntongdon.

It's a good, cheap train to York from down our way (a good location for most, I suspect). I'm sure the league could muster a team if you start nagging them now. Even if not, I'm sure there will be at least one Barbarians side.

It's perhaps high time the HDWSBBL make their presence known and whooped those Blackshirts and Geordies. Not the Waterbowl, mind, obvs.

Phil, as someone closing in on the HDWSBBL superbowl you're definitely one of us now! We'll let you off for the World Cup but not here!

This event is 10 months before the World Cup. Plenty of time to convince the wife!

[Joemanji]

You all have 10 months to gather the troops and form your teams. Should be doable!

Who needs ten months? Paid!

Team : Clique & Destroy
Nation : England
Coaches : Joemanji, Purplegoo, Geggster, Jimjimany.

It is on.

There's the winning team, right there

[Pipey]

Gosh, that's quick! Thank you for payment "Get To Ze Chopper", representing England.

Should I assume you are captain then, Joe?

[Joemanji]

Sure.

No point messing about, let's make this HUGE!

[purdindas]

Shared this on the Team Scotland page. I'd like to think we could get at least 3 Scottish teams to travel.

[fire olli]

I think team "Brutal Deluxe" will be reformed for this.

[Pipey]

Great to see so much interest already.

Will update the list of registered teams asap.

[Rolex]

I'll do my best to organize a team from Italy.

[Mr. Nuffle]

I'm on it.

Let's see if we can throw in a Danish team...

[Pipey]

Great stuff guys. Would be fantastic to see some teams from outside of the UK!

[Joemanji]

York is super easy to get to from Manchester airport aswell. There is a train direct from the airport itself, and the venue in York is 5 minutes walk from the railway station!

[Rolex]

An update from Italy.
The UKTC should take place exactly between 2 important italian tourneys (Piada e Prosciutto Cup and Royal Rumble).
"Should" means the dates for those tourneys are not fixed yet.
If one of those 2 moves from their traditional date to the 10-11 week-end, than it's unlikely that we can make a team.
If the dates for 2015 stay the same we already have one team and a half ready to come.

Fingers crossed.

[nobby]

Will need to start buttering up the other half for this...
