About the tournament area:

 

All the events  will all be played in a large Function room. Don’t be put off by this being a fitness centre - the tournament area is situated on the first floor of the building, two floors and the building-length away from the gym activities. There is no noise intrusion from the club activities.

Tournament Hall:

Immediately after entering the building, stairs and a lift are to the right. The hall is on the first floor.

 

These are available in the Lounge - please drink them there and don't bring them into the tournament hall

 

Lounge/bar:

From the tournament hall take stairs/lift to the ground floor and turn right in the reception area. Pass through the turnstiles, which will be opened on request by the receptionists, go straight ahead.

 

Analysis room:

Go through the turnstiles towards the lounge. The analysis room is to the left just past the end of the reception bar. If full you can take a set into the lounge but please return it to the analysis room immediately you are finished. We don't want bits going missing, or venue staff having to clear up after us.
