You are right Riggers, the nearest is Santiago.
The tournament will be just like the one in Seville last year although hopefully it won't be quite as hot.
the North of Spain is renowned for its scenery, its food and its wines.
Don't miss it.

Anyone who didn't go to Seville last year and is in 2 minds as to whether to go to this, DEFINATELY GO! I know my tournament experience is limited but last years event was the best run tournament I've ever seen and people with me with many tournaments under their belts agreed.
The only thing that will stop me going is holiday constraints from work. Unfortunately my work has a silly rule insisting you take at least one holiday lasting 2 consecutive weeks, and with 13.5 days not booked that's only 2 more tournaments for me and Weert will be one of them. So it looks like a straight choice between this one and Malaga in December. Hmmm????

Thanks Lee for kind words, we do our best.
Andy and anyone else, the Tournament starts at 6.00 pm on the 6th July and will finish the evening of the 8th, probably late so flights
could be booked for Friday morning to arrive and Monday morning to leave.
Hopefully I will have hotel information tomorrow, so will post again.
