And even better and credit-worthy that all the profits are being donated to the GB Juniors.
I wouldnt begrudge TDs the opportuniuty to make reasonable profits from tournametns for their hard work, and providing a qulaity weekend for alot of peopel as a result. But to give up those profits for good causes is extremely admirable. as if Steve / Allison didnt do enough for british ultimate through Lookfly already... the GB Juniors will be extremely grateful for your efforts, as are the junior management team. thanks Steve / Dene / the TD crew...
