Schedule - will not change

Please contact Si Hill for information about the venue and/or tournament (not Imperial College).

Profits from this tournament will be retained by the UKUA - and some is intended to be used to provide some support for GB players involved in European's this summer.

All three divisions are full and everyone has paid - thanks.

The teams that are coming, and their seedings are all shown in the schedule.

Unfortunately we are NOT able to offer camping at the venue this time. Sorry.
The venue is a short (2 min) walk from Harlington village.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The nearest stations are Hatton Cross (the last stop before Heathrow on the Piccadilly Line) and Hayes & Harlington railway station (on a line out of Paddington).

1. Hatton Cross (Piccadilly line)
Go to Bus STOP A and get Bus 90
These run every 20 mins from 5:49 am
Journey time is 10-15 mins to closest stop + max 5 min walk to sports fields

2. Harlington & Hayes rail station - this is on line out of Paddington.
There are frequent trains (3-4 per hour) and the journey is about 20 mins I believe.
Go to Bus Stop M
Bus 140 -> Heathrow OR Bus 90 -> Feltham OR Bus H98 -> Hounslow Bus station There seems to be at least one every 10 minutes EXCEPT for a bizarre gap between 7:43 and 8:12 - I must be reading the website wrong - but that does seem to be what it says Journey is 10-15 mins + max 5 min walk from village.

Its not a long journey from either station - cost of taxi will not be high - esp if shared of course.

PARKING

There are three car parks and some parking on the road.
1. Imperial college has a car park - probably space for about 100 cars - maybe less. I.e. its not v big.
2. Coming from Harlington village - go past the main entrance. A short distance further on there is a gap in the hedge onto a field. We have permission to park here - and there will be someone from the Flaming Galahs
to help direct you. Overflow Parking 2 on map.
3. A little further on there is the actual car park for the "Little Harlington" fields. Again - this isn't huge - but will definitely help.
Please do what you can to park efficiently. Overflow Parking 1 on map
4. Much of the road (Sipson Lane) has double yellows - but there are a number of gaps where parking is allowed. From experience we know that the local traffic wardens will give you a ticket for putting wheels on the pavement.

All of this parking is free (as long as you stay off the pavement I guess)

ACCOMODATION

There are loads of hotels in the area due to the airport. Suggest web search for B&Bs in Heathrow area.

There is a big backpacker style hostel in Hammersmith:
