Hi all,
Just got back from a long day at the site! We have 2 different field layouts, both of which look like a hell of a lot of fun - I just wish I was playing now!
Trev from HPAC will be there with his own fill stations set up next to our staging area with 4500 fills. I ask that everyone change their markers to SEMI tonight so that we're not waiting around tomorrow for people to change firing modes
Ok, kick off is from 9am sharp, so we ask that you aim for an 8am arrival as we have a LOT of games to go through on the 2 fields! We would have run 3 but the bottom field is just too wet to run games on due to the amount of rain we've had this past couple of months! The site is muddy around the start gates and entrances but the main parts of the fields are ok! We purposely haven't started any of the ground works as we're closing down the site after this event for winter in order to make our big plans happen over winter ready for next season
There will be a 2 minute silence at the start of the day before the first game in memory of my team mate and CPPS ref Jeavon, and for Brian Leach who recently passed away.
Just and Lips will be supplying goodies and paint tomorrow, and we also have new caterers who I know and are very good......so all the bacon and egg butties etc and hot/cold drinks you need will be available. I'd like to get some feedback from people tomorrow about what they'd like to see on the menu for next season as well - or if the current one is just right!
Parking will be on the adjacent field as on normal match days so please don't try and pull onto the site!!
Schedules......with the lack of teams in Div 1, we've mixed them in with everyone else, but we'll be keeping those 4 teams separate in terms of points scored so that you're still in with a shout and it gives you lot a chance to take down the pros at 7man
See you all bright and early!
Ainsley
Ooo - no problem at all with anyone filming/taking pics

Yes, just make sure you use the animal centre entrance rather than the main college one
If you're coming off at junction 12 (best way to go even from the north) then you'll go down the A5, take a right (3rd exit) at the roundabout onto Stafford Road (A449) and it's the first main entrance on the right a couple of hundred yards down - you'll know it's correct as the road widens to allow for the right turning lane into the college.

So we're classed as 'animals' then eh...! quite apt i suppose...
