As with all summer outdoor activities in the UK, we are at the behest of Mother Nature. She has mostly been very kind to us over the years, but has the odd moment where she decides to change.

We have only ever cancelled once for the weather and that was in 2007 when there was a national emergency declared for the floods, particularly in the South West of England.

Your safety is of paramount importance to us and we will always be guided by that, however there are often dramatic ‘click-bait’ headlines in the run up to any weather about the biggest, most, longest, heaviest, worst whatever it is that is going to happen, and often does not.

We appreciate everyone who trusts us and stays with us as we manage the event, comes along and has a fabulous time regardless of what the weather throws at us. We, as with other tournaments in the UK, have managed volleyball in all weathers for many, many years and will continue to do so.

By entering any of these volleyball tournaments in the UK, you understand and agree to be guided by the experience of those organising and those who have participated for a similar number of years.

We have various plans, A, B, C & D for different levels of difficulty. If we can play 50% of the weekend, we will do a one day timed event for example; we have short friendlies for really small windows on one day and full day on the other, timed and set formats to adapt to whatever we can do. It isn’t a set “this is what we will do if” plan, it is a “how many pieces of the puzzle can we put together to give our guests as much volleyball as we can”, even as late as Saturday morning, plan.

Please remember, we are all volunteers, fellow volleyball lovers and doing our best to keep all of you happy :-)
