if this is happening at the uni, has anyone thought about booking rooms with one of the halls of residence nearest the site? just an idea, but normally uni's do this during the summer to get a bit of extra cash.

I looked into that last year and it seemed loads of hassle to sort out. I think they wanted block bookings well in advance and it is impossible to get firm numbers till late on

Might be worth another look though now it is closer to the date

Now that looks sweet. I would love to get my hands one of those.
I guess that its not cheap to create/produce. Which price do you have to win to get one of those fields?

Emberbreeze · Post by **Emberbreeze** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 1:01 pm

The board is going to cost just over Â£20 to make, but I got a speial offer on printing. To make another now would cost Â£35ish, but I have no plans to mass produce. I have to mount it onto card with backing matterial and cut it so it folds like the offical board.

No idea what prize to give it as, any ideas?

We will probably run it like last year where the winner gets to choose his prize first then second place, then most TDs then most Cas finally Wooden spoon.

The field is really nice. why don't you add a turn and RR counter to make it complete ?

hoomin_erra · Post by **hoomin_erra** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 1:20 pm

Damned fine pitch.

But i have to agree with the frenchman (Puke). a RR and turn counter would be good. And possibly a customised scatter template?

Is that A2 size paper?

Speak to Torpor, get him to make a 3D version of it. 1 for every coach

El Condor · Post by **El Condor** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 1:21 pm

Indeed that would make it complete. The board is more than cool. I would buy it for sure for Â£35 if I could order it. Is there any hope......

Emberbreeze · Post by **Emberbreeze** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:12 pm

why not make your own?

I've started writing a guide on how to make the board part of it and you can download lots of pitches off the lord of the boards website (this is based on one)

Reroll counters sound like a good idea, I was thinking about scatter and throwing templates but A3 transparent OHP paper is a bitch to find.

you need A1 paper to get a BB pitch in one piece
