The Subbuteo scene is just amazing in the UK with many different clubs organizing regular WASPA events. Some midweek tournaments are just a perfect way to keep local players motivated and are a source of inspiration to improve standards of play. Some bigger events attract larger fields of players and even the big ESA tournaments are played under WASPA banner, which is also a way to keep players involved. It's really hard to make regular stories about what's going on in England as there are many events. We are pleased to see new clubs (Milton Keynes TSC, Stourbridge Casual SC) or returning clubs (Rochford and Southend). There is a strong dynamic circuit and it's fantastic to see so many different players taking part. Here is just a brief summary of results of February and March.
A quick note to let everyone know the "special" events are also welcome. You can for instance run old rules tournaments, promotional event (not for the top players -> see rules int he WASPA handbook) or even tournaments with special rules.
We hope to make some better promotion of events run in England in the future and we would appreciate of someone could help writing stories. Thanks in advance for your help!
