    The Denton Unicycle Club (DUC) will be holding another hockey tournament
    on Saturday 25th November.

    This will be held at the same venue as usual. That being....

    Egerton Park Community Arts College
    Egerton Street
    Denton
    Manchester
    M34 3PB

    The tournament is for everyone, whether you're just a beginner or
    seasoned pro! We'll be splitting everyone into scratch teams to balance
    the sides out as best as possible. Nobody will be left out - if you
    turn up then you'll be put into a team.

    There will be a beginners only game to start things off. Then everyone
    will be put into scratch teams for the tournament proper.

    This will all take place between 12 noon and 6pm. The cost is going to
    be £7 for adults and £5 for the under 16's.

    The hall itself is large, perfectly suited for hockey and has a
    relatively new floor (plastic pedals only). There are shower facilities
    for the ones that require them.

    There will be free tea, coffee and soft drinks throughout the
    afternoon.

    For the ones among you without SatNav, here are the Directions:

    From junction 24 on the M60, follow the sign for Denton A57 to the
    second set of lights (sign posted Audenshaw, Arrow Trading Estate)
    where you turn left. The road then bends to left and then to the right.
    After this right bend take the first road on your right into Egerton
    St. We're 200m on the right, just after the college main building.

    Alternatively, join the M67 at junction 24, turn left at the first exit
    (junction 1A) and Egerton St is the 3rd turning on the left.

    Note: please ensure that you use plastic pedals and NOT metal ones.

    We'll be able to do pick-ups and drop-offs from Stockport station if
    you're arriving by train.

    So far we're picking Jonny up at 11.34. Let me know if anyone else
    wants picking up.

    If anyone would like to stop over at our place Saturday night, then
    you're more than welcome to. We're having the loft converted at the
    moment to make more room for people to stop over, but unfortunately it
    won't be finished in time for this tournament :p . It would help us
    though if you could let me know in advance.

    Unfortunately there won't be any muni ride Sunday morning this time,
    due to other commitments - sorry.

    See you all there.

    Steve & Stu

    This was a great event last year. Unfortunately, it is my birthday -
    unfortunately, because I will be away, and unfortunately because I will
    be even older.

    But it was a great event last year, and I commend it to anyone who can
    make it.

    Although I remember it being very hot indeed, so perhaps it wasn't last
    year in November, but it was a great event anyway.

    I will be in dear ol' Deb'n.

    The journey's always easy when you've got no place to go,
    No trouble when you've nothing much to do
    When you've left some place behind, just to see what you might find,
    And you're travelling just to get to somewhere new.

    I'll come!

    Just trying to work out buses. Accommodation on the Saturday could be
    very useful if you're sure you don't mind.

    Exactly! Pleased to hear you can make it though.

    Unfortunately it's going to be 'just' the hockey tournament this time.
    There are talks afoot at having another tournament in January and
    another one in March. I'm sure we'll be back to normal with the Sunday
    muni ride by then😄 .

    That's no problem Beth. We usually have between 4 and 10 stopping over
    after the hockey. Just bring a mattress and sleeping bag. Most usually
    make use of the showers at the hockey.

    Have you decided to go to Darmstadt? If so, then I'll see you there.
    Most of the guys going to Darmstadt also will be in Manchester for more
    hockey the week after.

    Incidentally, we usually get between 25 and 30 hockey players turning
    up for the hockey in Manchester. We have enough time for all teams to
    play against each other twice. I don't know what standard you are, but
    if you are a beginner then you'll have your own game to start things
    off with.

    See you all there.

    Cool! The more hockey the better. We are even starting to play
    regularly in Bristol.

    I think Sarah is planning a South West tournament in early January and
    there is an EMUs one, too. Might need some careful coordination.

    Haven't played since the tournament in Spetember so I'll be rubbish. I
    might bring a couple of Cambridge riders along if I can persuade
    them...

    I'm always rubbish and I've never played since the previous tournament.
    I've got no one to play with and no where to play. (Que to violins)

    All sorted. I'm picking up Jonny, Beth & Pete so far at 11.30.
    There is room for one more if anyone wants a lift.

    See you all there.
