Other info: One of the best, well-run tournaments going. After paying your inital fee, it accounts for two parties, accommodation and food. Excellent value. The students running the tournament work extremely hard, party hard and make you feel very welcome. The tournament is themed throughout the weekend and the parties last till the early hours. Volleyball is at an excellent level. Sleeping on the sport's hall floor for four hours a night takes a lot of getting used to.
