BAFRA ANNUAL CONVENTION – SAT 28TH & SUN 29TH MARCH


The Convention is now a couple of days away and I’m looking forward to great weekend. The undernoted is a repeat of the information in Newsflash last week. The only additions are marked with an **.


Welcome Desk


The Welcome Desk will be open between 9:00am - 9:25am on the Saturday morning and will be located in the main reception area. A few things will happen when you arrive at the Welcome Desk. Firstly you will need to sign-in and then pick up your Convention Pack. This will contain the following items:



**There will also be a desk for collecting Game day expenses**


You will then be shown to the Main Convention Hall where Tea and Coffee will be available. We have quite a lot to get through during the day so I would ask that everyone makes the effort to be there as early as possible. We will start at 9:30am prompt and the Welcome Desks will close at 9:25am.


Prize Draw


We will be running a Prize Draw again this year and have prizes worth over £150.00 to give away. So remember to pick up some Raffle tickets at the Welcome Desk. They are only £1.00 each and the money collected will be reinvested in next year’s prizes.


Housekeeping Notes


Rooms will be available from 2:00pm on your day of arrival. We will probably have a room available where bags can be stored until you check-in. I will arrive at the Conference Centre around 11:00am on the Friday. If you have any problems please let me know. Directions can be found at: www.yarnfieldpark.com.

If you have not paid for your accommodation can I ask that you please do so as soon as possible.

NEXT HOME GAME

New this week

Bury Saints

One ball person failed to return for the 2nd half, Bury did not have a replacement - so a game management delay penalty was enforced on the kick off due to the delay caused in briefing the replacement provided by Swindon. Game was played in excellent spirit by both teams, with only 1 major penalty enforced.

Sussex Saxons

Game played at Brighton's 3G field, but Sussex were the home team. No team area or coaching box lines; cones used instead. Goals attached to fence 2 yards beyond end line. Changing room not lockable, except that we came back at the end of the game to find it locked. We had to change in the car park. Officials not paid until 29 minutes after game ended.
