BVC Wick Tournament 2008
Bristol Volleyball Club hosted its 3rd annual volleyball tournament at Wick FC sports ground in May for teams from the local area. This year, 13 teams entered into 2 pools that played each other on the Saturday. Based on the position of each team, the teams were then split into 3 divisions which played against each other on the Sunday to decide on the winner of each division. A trophy was awarded to the winners of the 1st division, and medals to the winners of the 2nd and 3rd division.
This year we were incredibly lucky with the weather (3rd time running – how long will this last?) despite the rather mixed forecast. After a satisfying day of sunny outdoor volleyball that was accompanied with Pimms/lemonade and beers from the club bar, the bbq was lit for some well earned grub.
There were considerable improvements to our tournament this year, some of which included a marquee (for the disco dancing that ensued after the bbq) as well as a quality sound system, which allowed for music to be played throughout the day.
The party that followed on from the bbq on the Saturday night was themed ‘Grease’, which resulted in some impressive fancy dress interpretations.
For the 2nd time running, El Vino Cheapo entertained us til the wee hours of the morning and a good time was had by all.
Finally, the raffle was a huge success and we thank all the companies that donated prizes to us and we are looking forward to next year’s tournament already!
