The hotel where we stayed is The Ibis Hotel

Three teams went to Belgium. A total of 48 travelled by coach. A long trip, but a laugh a minute, the miles flew by.
What a fantastic weekend - everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The hotel was great, the basketball was challenging and the company was very entertaining. Lots of late nights, fun and laughter made the weekend one we will remeber for a long time. The hotel will remeber us as the club who drank them dry.
We would reccommend the Tournament to anyone. Considering the amount of people who took part, from 32 countries, I think the organisers did a fantasic job.
We actually came away from Belgium with a runners up Trophy. The Girls team fought their way to the final against America and lost by 22 points. What more could we ask for ?
