[BD] WATER AT MANSFIELD - AND APPOLOGIES

[hannah easter]

Water was a problem this is my summary of what happened... would have helped if people had filled up there own water bottle at least for first game... but alas no... (this is not a dig and please don't retaliate) 
 
I was not going to post this to brit disc to try to prevent the debate ;) no such luck.... please be assured that the Board are looking into this and the other problems that have occured in the TOUR  as a whole... i
 
 just thought i would summarise the problems at tour 3 re water... 
 
 1 - We the UKUA din't have enough water bottles. This was not discovered until i collected the equipment from Jack at tour 2 (ONLY 9 WATER BOTTLES LEFT from 20 that went out for Tour 1), I did try to order more bottles after tour 2 but could not get any in time as they were out of stock. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THE UKUA ARE LOOKING AT....
 
 2 - I as a TD then went out and bought 40 4or 6 litre bottles on Saturday to suppliment the shortfall. I also bought 56 2 litre bottles for the tent area for people to be able to fill up from.
 
 3 - I walked around the pitches at the hot points on Sunday with Ice packs for all the teams on the far pitches and free ice lollies to try to keep people cool.
 
 4 -  The ground staff were not as proactive as previous years. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES ASKED!!!
 
 5 - UKUA players nicked most of the big water bottles that i bought so i have to go and get a further 20 bottles on the Sunday morning.
 
 6 - the cub scout group that i had tried to employ pulled out on thursday morning due to lack of numbers (there was to be 2 scouts per pitch) that teams could ask for more water etc... 
 
 POINT 6 WOULD I THINK HAVE SOLVED THE ISSUES THAT OCCURED, but these things happen....

YOU ALL HAVE MY APPOLOGIES!

SORRY 

Hannah
