I would just like to personally thank everyone who helped make the 1st Welsh Open such a success, yes there were a few problems, but hey aren't we human?
Look at the plus points, we ran 148 games and only had a couple of incidents, speaking as a player I have seen and experienced much worse, the venue was sublime, a most picturesque setting.
The standard of play exceptional, and the marshals worked their asses off, as a player you get to spend an hour tops on the field, but as a marshal ................. and you are expected to stay sharp all day, a big thank you to all of them.
John the site owner, thanks to his vision and permission to carve up the hallowed turf what a surface.
To Silv and NIc a blinding job on the PA. and scoreboards.What do you guys think did it make a difference?
A bar, and a cheap bar at that, fantastic.
To all of the event sponsors thanks for your support Diablo, Planet, JSM Engravers, WDP, Wapred Sports, Just Paintball, PGI, Adrenaline Jungle, MDP Scaffolding, HSS tool hire, Elan Marques, and Patrina from Diablo Maidenhead.
Thanks also to teams Sad UK, Sad Too, Chameleons, Mohicans, Psycho Pimps and the Masters Marshalling Academy.
And finally to all of the teams that made it a truly memorable event thanks one and all.
Bring on the Welsh Open 2003, The 1st Scottsh Open is comming soon to a site nowhere near you (except the Cameronians) watch this space.
Blakey.
