The Maidenhead (UK) Subbuteo fair and old subbuteo tournament 2011

I think for the english this tournament wasn't so bad in results. We made half of the final eight positions and it was good that all the quarter finals placed english against italian. Okay so the italians took the victories in all the quarter finals but some of these games were closer than others.



Quarter Finals:-

Anderlecht (Herman) 4 v 0 Leicester C (Jim)
Putney 1 (Victor) v 2 Zaglieblie (Gigi)
Bristol R 0 (fabiobertola) v 0 Dennis (Ally) pen shoot out 1 - 0
Milan 5 (Cafaggi) v 0 Sfornato (The Finger)











Maybe next year we will be even closer

I can not wait for my next tournament in Italy, i am counting down the days already. Our game was very enjoyable, your defence and blocking was very strong i couldn't create a clear opening all game. For me i wish we could have had the opportunity for extra time and a full shoot out but i think the venue was only booked until 7pm so time was against us.

Maybe this will be looked at and changed for next year, i hope so.

You are welcome fafao, you are a friend in subbuteo and in Leeds. So a gift for you makes me happy.

Now about the tournament of next year........ please read the thread 'Invitation for our friends from Italy'

And thank you for offering to help with this major event.

Dear all,

i know it is still five months away,the date having been set for sunday March 13th,but even at this early stage i am looking for an idea of numbers so if you know you will be coming then perhaps confirm to me here and now.

stallholders will need to be limited to one decent size longtable each next year so as to give as many sellers as possible the chance to have a table.If there is spare space then of course this can then be made available.

the maximum number of players for the afternoon will be 24 so if you want to reserve your place do it sooner rather than later.

can you in that case let me know if you wish to reserve:-

1) a table space as a stallholder for the morning fair - £10 fee

2) a place in the tournament for the afternoon anglo italian cup - entry fee to be confirmed but it will more than likely include a provided old subbuteo replica team from one of the well known suppliers painted in the colours of an english or italian club side.The fee with team provided is likely to be in the region of £15-£20.

so get back to me as soon as you can as i think the event may get quickly subscribed.

you can email me at [email protected] to let me know.

be good to have a good italian turn out in england again.

i am speaking to the elva lodge hotel which most of you used last time to see what can be done for a group booking fee arrangement.

regards

Jon

i have done a deal with the elva lodge hotel as follows:-
