QUOTES FROM TEAMS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED THE CLUB NETBALL FESTIVAL

Quotes from the 2011 IOM Club Netball Competition

 

DHM Netball

From start to finish the IOM netball tournament runs immaculately showing brilliant organisation from the team who run it. We've been 4 years in a row now and can't wait to make it 5. Every year our group gets larger as more people want to take part in the weekend, even if they don't play! Our supporters are ever increasing!! The mix of talent throughout all the teams is fantastic and gives real drive and determination for playing your best to get a place in top 3. The prize incentives to come back and either fight for your title or fight others to take it makes it all the more fun. Big thumbs up to all the Manx as we get such a warm welcome and keep up the great work Budgetmann Tours.

Thanks

Helen Richardson

Galloway Netball

The 'Galloway Netball Team' have nothing but praise for the 'Isle of Man Netball Tournament'. The tournament itself ran like clockwork and the umpiring was superb which made the games safe and fun!  Everybody involved in the tournament was very approachable and being our first time attending we were made very welcome and can't wait to come back!  The accommodation was ideal and everything that was arranged for us, coach transfers, ferry and ferry transfers etc all went without a hitch. We would definitely give 10/10 for all aspects of this tournament - we wish every tournament organised was like this!!

Wyke Netball

This year was the second year Wyke have entered the Manx Netball Festival, taking over 3 teams. This year was even better than last. The organisation from start to finish is excellent and this coupled with the high standard of umpiring makes the whole competition very enjoyable. The standard of play is high and competitive but there is also a friendly fun atmosphere over the two days.

Helen, thanks for all your help and input again, we all had a fab time (again!)

Take care

FROM MELLOR LADIES NETBALL TEAM

I just wanted to express our thanks for the wonderful netball weekend we spent in the Isle of Man.  The weekend seemed to go far too fast for us all, but we enjoyed every minute of it!  Everything flowed smoothly, which is tantamount to the thorough preparation and organisation that was involved.  From the prompt replies to the many email queries that I sent in the run up to the weekend, to the transfer to the airport at the end of the tournament, we felt well looked after and that no question was too small to be considered.  We were mightily impressed with the sports centre, the quality of the refereeing, the hotel rooms and food and the general atmosphere of all the teams, who clearly enjoyed the tournament as much as we did!  This was our first time as a team that we had been involved in any tournament and on the back of this we hope to be regulars each year!  Many, many thanks to all of your team for all their hard work, we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Greatly appreciated.

On behalf of Evesham Reds, I just wanted to say thank you for another great weekend which we thoroughly enjoyed.  A massive thank you in particular to all the organisers and officials during the tournament who enabled it to run smoothly throughout.   It was great to see new teams competing in the festival and the competition standard continues to grow each year.

We’re looking forward to next year all ready!

Thank you both for all your hard work. It really was fab!

FROM DARLINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (DMH) NETBALL

DMH would like to thank the IOM for its organisation of the netball tournament on the weekend of 24th and 25th April 2010.  This was thoroughly enjoyed by all DMH team members who found it refreshing to play against different teams from around the country. 

The atmosphere of the tournament was uplifting and the organisation was excellent. 

DMH look forward to returning next year to hopefully improve on fourth place.

FROM WYKE NETBALL TEAM

We loved our weekend thank you, all the girls had a brilliant time. The organisation of the Tournament was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed competing. The ladies that ran the two days were brilliant. As well as being friendly and organised they were extremely helpful. I have thanked Pip and asked her to pass on our gratitude to the rest of her team. Wyke will hopefully be making the festival an annual event and passing the word on to other clubs. I also intend writing to the England netball magazine to get an article in there.
