Judging from
the comments that we have received from the teams that attended, I think
we can say that it was a resounding success. The only thing that slightly
spoilt things was the weather, but I don't think that there were many
events, run this year where that couldn't be said.
The
following teams attended:
Claro
from Yorkshire
Thaxted from Essex
Redcar Sword form Cleveland
Saddleworth from Yorkshire
Southport Sword form
Merseyside
Westminster form London
Winchester from way down south
Due to the good
response we were able to run two tours this year, as last year, the
details of which will be shown below.

Massed shows
with all the teams took place outside the Ship Inn, Front Street, Monkseaton
at 6:30pm on Saturday 11th September and outside the Monkseaton Arms, Monkseaton
at 11:30am on the Sunday 12th.
Beer for the
weekend was from the award winning local brewery, Mordue.
Saddlworth also supplied their own "carry out" in the form of
9 gallons of Hop Smacker.
In all, well over 45 gallons of beer were supped in the hall over the
weekend, and that does not include any beer drunk in the pubs.
For both shows
in Monkseaton the public address system will be provided as usual by
Steve Graham from ESR
(Electronic Components,
