The tournament is located adjacent to the ocean entrance of Narrabeen Lagoon, at the very northern end of Narrabeen Beach. Ocean St crosses the lagoon entrance and comes off Pittwater Rd.The Festival of the Longest Day is rapidly approaching its eleventh incarnation, and we have a busy schedule planned for you this solstice*.
*Unfortunately Tom is broken so the 2006 schedule has been reduced from the usual activities
The schedule for 2006:
Longest Day promises to be the biggest beach ultimate tournament in Australia in 2006.
The cost is $200 per team. If you register and pay before Monday 4 December, this is discounted to $150 per team.
Apart from AFDA fees, this includes a lavish all-you-can-eat summer fruit smorgasbord of mangos, cherries, peaches, bananas, nectarines, plums, apricots, grapes, watermelon and lychees, plus rolls and dip to help tide you over. It also helps us to put on all the other events of the weekend. The more you participate, the more value you get.
This year we will be using online registration only. Registration will open at 8am on Thursday 23 November, and we are limiting the competition to 20 teams so get in early. We may open up more spots if we can manage it, so register even if there are already 20 teams registered.
All rosters must include at least 4 men and 3 women. Play is five-a-side with a 3M-2F gender mix.
Team fees are due by Monday 4 December. Teams registering and paying by that date will attract the $50 discount on the $200 team fee.
Payment is by electronic transfer or branch deposit to the following account:
| account name | Mr Thomas Alexander Brennan |
| bank | Westpac |
| branch | Lane Cove |
| bsb | 032085 |

When making a transfer, you must include the Team # and the Team Name from the online rego.
If absolutely no-one on your team can do this, please contact us to arrange an alternative payment method.
Note that the tournament may be limited to 20 teams this year, so you need to pay your fees as early as possible to confirm your place.
The tournament is located adjacent to the ocean entrance of Narrabeen Lagoon, at the very northern end of Narrabeen Beach. Ocean St crosses the lagoon entrance and comes off Pittwater Rd.

Last year's production included a lavish smorgasbord of tropical and summer fruits: mangos, cherries, peaches, nectarines, bananas, oranges, watermelon and more. There will also be rolls and dip available.
There will be a Longest Huck Golf Tournament held on Friday night (15th Dec) at St Leonards Park, North Sydney (where North Sydney Oval is). First tee is located near the footbridge across the expressway in the South-Eastern corner of the park. Tee-off time is 8pm.
Percy's (cnr Carlow & Miller St - see map) conveniently has a bottleshop, and is located near the 10th tee.

Play is mixed 5-a-side, with 2 women and 3 men on the field at all times.
Rosters will not be accepted unless they include at least 3 women and 4 men. Remember, running on the sand can be very tiring!

Stall count is 7.
"Sunday Rules" apply - you may drop the pull without causing a turnover.
Games will be to 9 with a time cap of 27 minutes. There will be no time cap rule - games finish on the hooter.
