BAFRA ANNUAL CONVENTION – SAT 28^TH & SUN 29^TH 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:

• I.D. Badge

• Game Day Paperwork Packs

• 2 Officiating Review DVD’s

• Convention Pack:

• Programme of Events

• Caption Competition Form

• Charity Voting Form

• Writing Paper and Pen

• BAFA 2015 Rules Changes

• 9-on-9 Rules

• 8-on-8 Rules

• 5-on-5 Rules

• **40/25-second play clock**

**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.
