A 'newbie' tourney is the best idea - but with a slight twist. Make it a 3-man, random teams one.
In other words - see who turns up - pays £15 (or a bit more as it is a toruney afert all) - and put their name in a hat.
Draw 3 names - hey presto - team A (repeat to fade).
To make it a little more interesting - designate one of the more 'experienced' players (Kelly's, Firm, etc.) as a 'coach' for the day.
That way the teams won't feel that they've been thrown together - with no idea on what to do next (something I see everywhere - all too often!).
Get the 'coaches' to do field walking - basic laning, sweet-spotting, diving in, etc.
Then get the teams to play each other at the end - but keep the points system a very simple one, as this is where everyone tends to lose the plot.
3 points for this, -1 for that, 50 for this etc. is too complicated for even the most experienced. Just use a simple win/lose/draw system (eg. 3 for win, 2 for draw, 1 for loss - yes, 1 for loss - that way no-one gets 0 points or less!).
Oh - and to make sure no coaches pick 'favourites' - make the team selection/coach combination random as well (eg. Pebble gets team A, Lovetone gets team B etc. - then draw the teams they have to 'coach').
If you need any help sorting this out - give me a bell - you have my moby number.
cheers

A tourny like that sounds fantastic. Roughly how long would it take to get to the NQ from Birmingham?
depends on how you would come, but getting to wakefield via car, take a fair while, and by train its about 3 hours, manchester is about the same distance up, but more west, so, i would guess about 2-2 1/2hours.

You are approx 80-miles away by car. The NQ is near to the airport - so train/flying is your best option.
If you allow 2 hours driving (M6 can be a bitch) - then you should be fine.
Assuming Markie agrees to all this of course...
You could run a 3 man series (Say 3 events over 3 months). As for some 5 man is hard to get people together. But hay you could do 5man aswell.
Markie is there a deadline for the charity day as i want to go but dont know if i can until the end of the month.
Thanks
