We are in the process of sorting out and entering Spikeopaths teams for the popular summer tournaments. At the moment, we are preparing entries for these two upcoming events – Whitefield Tournament in Bristol in July and Ashcombe Tournament in June (both outdoor, grass, six a side, men’s, women’s and mixed, a number of divisions). There will also be other outdoor tournaments throughout the summer months and we will share this info as it becomes available.
There will be emails coming out… please respond to the emails if you would like to play at one or both of these tournaments as part of Spikeopaths VC.
This year, we will be asking you to pay your share of the team reg fee in advance, to make sure all entry fees are covered in good time. You are welcome to invite friends or family members to play with us too (just bear in mind that everyone will need to pay their share of the reg fee per each team). Please note that these fees are non-refundable (unless you can find someone else to take your place).
We are still awaiting info on Ashcombe, but please let us know if you want to play at Whitefield, by 18 April 2024. Places fill up quickly (this tournament is very popular) so if you want to play, please be mindful of this deadline.
Whitefield Tournament (Bristol):
Date: 20-21 July 2024
Entries will open on 20 April 2024 (deadline for expression of interest – 18 April 2024)
Where: South Bristol Sports Centre
Team entry fee (all divisions): £170 + £30 deposit (this is new – the idea being that each team pays £30 deposit to encourage all teams to participate fully once they have signed up, ie play and officiate all assigned matches wherever possible, and abide by the rules of the event; on arrival, each team will receive their deposit voucher which can be either exchanged for cash or used for an ‘early bird’ entry for next year’s tournament.)
Ashcombe Tournament: We are still awaiting info on this tournament (should be released mid-April) so watch this space. Traditionally, this tourno is held on the last weekend of June (so should be 29-30 June but still tbc), feel free to express your interest in advance and we can add your name to the tournament spreadsheet now.
Any questions, please let me know.
Separately – we will share info on the summer season (vball in the park) in good time. We will be playing indoors (Tuesdays) until the end of May.
