FORMBY 7s FESTIVAL VI

FRIDAY 25th SATURDAY 26th & SUNDAY 27thMARCH 2016

Dear Easter Festival goer!!

Last year was a massive success including a glorious Friday of sunshine!The team were well prepared ensuring the bar was stocked with enough liquids! It was the second year with no evening food and this year will be the same, there just isn’t enough demand.

On behalf of Formby Hockey Club, I would like to invite you and your club to enter this year’s 7s Festival. The format will be women and men competing separately with three AstroTurf pitches. The length of games will depend on how many teams enter, but last year we had 20 minute one-way games throughout Friday afternoon, all day Saturday and Sunday morning. These games will give seedings as to who goes through to the Cup or Plate knockout stages. The knockout part of the festival based on these seedings will then start late morning on the Sunday, with the final scheduled for around 4.00pm.

There will be food and drink served on site throughout the weekend with very reasonable prices. Friday night will see some singers in action with karaoke going on until late. There is also an optional fancy dress on Saturday night which is accompanied by a DJ and late bar until 1am on both nights.

There is a grassed paddock area, 60m from the clubhouse and 20m from the Astroturf pitch for teams to camp Friday & Saturday night, should they want to. Last year saw teams also camp Thursday and Sunday, this is available if you let us know. There is limited parking at the club so try to car share. Alternative parking will only be available around the club in residential roads, but no parking in Cricket Path road.

The entrance fee for the festival will be One Hundred and Ten Pounds and this must accompany your application to enter. A strict “first come first served” rule will be operated.

This year I am enforcing a LATE PAYMENT FEE, see the table below for details

Date / Cost
BEFORE JANUARY 31st 2016 / £110
1st February until 28th February 2016 / £130
On or after 1st March 2016 / £170

I would like to receive confirmations before end of February, as ever the tournament is growing and it is impossible to get the timetables done in time if people enter late. You can pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer.

Any problems, please give me a call or get in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards

Alex Vine
