Tourney: Beneligue

Anyone want to go? Just checked and Eurostar is still only about £150 return... I'd be up or it.

looks good, but no foreign tourneys till new year for me

Slippy ?

Where is it? Looks great.

Near Brussels.

Hmmm

Checked my diary ... can't go.

Yeah, it's not much notice. I might try and go to some of the other Beneligue tournaments. They've had Antwerp already, I'm not sure which other cities are hosting tournaments or when, but I'm guessing Amsterdam will be on the list at some point.

heard the court is 60meters long...

yeah, it's huge, but it brings a lot of fun..

for godsake no slippy at all, despite the apparence, it's really grippy enough, otherwise, we wouldn't go.

Tempting... Anyone else from London thinkin of going?

       @ John H.:

Amsterdam might be the next city hosting a beneligue tourney, we asked for already, but they didn't step up yet.

If not, and because we want to hold a tourney each month, we can imagine to play again in Antwerp or Namur,
or to try an other indoor hockey court near to Brussels too, in Charleroi (Loverval), which seems also amazing, and where they have also a second, outdoor court, right next to the first one :

want to go, can't go.

think next euro trip for cosmic will be in NY for rouen and karlsruhe.

I am up for one of these for sure, LPC team.

come! would be nice to play against some of you..
Amsterdam will also happen, probably 2012 though..

in for amsterdam 2012

LPC bitches

IN for dam 2012 too.
woot

we're in!

Cool tourney I must say, we did the round trip in a day from Paris (700km total). The court was HUGE, a bit slippery in some areas, but great to play on because of the sheer size of it:

The DTGPingouin! name was found in a minute, but was eerily prescient. In the town we saw this poster:

In the hangar where the court was we found three of these:

And the beer cans given to the winners had this logo:

Fries were abundant:

And we won, with the smallest attendance in a tourney final ever:

Thanks to the organisers, the beneligue players and of course my two penguins Greg and Hugo!

So when is the next one?
