Can the Admin please leave this as a main thread!
Right fellows, I've had a little idea that we could head away for a weekend, either abroad or in this country. I'm just looking to gauge opinion and see what kind of numbers we would be looking at. There would be no match on this weekend, just the boys enjoying a weekend away after a progressive season. Thoughts?
Ladies!

University of Leeds' Bodington Hall on the 22/23/24 July 2011.

trust internet group.

Please Note
==========
Teams who do not abide by the IFA rules regarding officials will face
immediate expulsion from the tournament and all future IFA activities
including WorldNET, The IFA league, The IFA Challenge Cup and IFA
friendlies. The relevant sentence from the rules is:
"Physical and persistent verbal abuse of officials by players, members
of a team's organisation or their supporters will not be tolerated under
any circumstances, and will result in the offending team's instant
expulsion from the tournament."
We will expect all participating teams to uphold this fundamental tenet
of the tournament.
This announcement forms part of the rules of the competition.
