We can offer some hosting either side for our friends travelling from far

Food & drink: free breakfast Saturday & Sunday

Entertainment the legendary karaoke party is back thanks to Jesse :microphone:

A note on reffing
We will need everyone to help with reffing and we really want to encourage and make this accessible for all players. Lots of players coming will not be experienced refs, and we want Bristol Open to be a safe environment for inexperienced refs to practice and learn.

So we will focus on The Ref Is Always Right - if there is any word against the ref, they can give 30 seconds straight away. No-one really likes to be shouted at…

We did this last year and it worked well (as well as free beers for reffing multiple games ;))

Heyhey! Does anyone from uk/bristol have a spare tent for me and my partner? So we don’t have to bring it from Vienna?
