Sun Shines on Staffs LPV Festival!
Fri, 06/18/2010 - 09:40 — AdminFor the fourth successive year Newcastle (Staffs) VC hosted the West Midlands "Let's Play Volleyball" Festival and with 55 junior teams entered it was around twice the size of any previous edition of the event, seeing 223 players in action on 15 courts. Perhaps the best evidence of this was the sale of more burgers in a 75 minute period than there had been throughout the whole day in 2009! Teams were attracted from the event from across the West Midlands, East Midlands, North West and as far afield as the North East, with competitions at under 11, 13, 15 and 17.
Under 11s
