WEATHER: |
|
The Blackpool Cup this year is being held in Mid April, and cold
winds are common in the area. Please make sure, therefore, that you and your
players are clothed suitably to keep out the elements. Even in April, the
tournament will be an enjoyable experience. But it could be ruined for some of
your players if they are cold and miserable. |
