EASTER 2009- Done!! 22nd April 2009
A massive Easter 2009 has drawn to a close- many, many thanks to our hoardes of hard working group leaders, reps, sports officials and of course you, the 8,000 ILOVETOUR maniacs who made it the biggest and best Easter ever. We in the ILOVETOUR office are now breathing a sigh of relief, dusting ourselves down and getting back to normal. Feedback forms will be sent to group leaders this week- and video and photos are being organised at this very moment. As a taster- we've uploaded a few albums to Facebook. Either look on the ILOVETOUR facebook group (where other tourists have been adding their own albums too) or, if you're not on facebook, visit these links to view the galleries:

What Sports Are We Running and Where? 23rd September 2008
Having had to add some new sports to a few events since the brochure went to print at the start of the summer, I thought it would be useful to give you an overview of what sports we offer and where...
The figure in brackets relates to the number of tourists required to book a team into that event.
If a sport is asterix* then we're offering it depending on take up/minimum numbers.
We're recruiting for sports staff already, so email keith.adie@set-tours.com to recieve an application form...!
Those ILOVETOUR.co.uk Veterans out there will have noticed a few new sports to have joined the ranks- these include Dance, Track Events, Beach Cricket and Flag Football in Salou. Basketball has been added to Napafest due to public demand and we are presently awaiting interest from the Lacrosse community regarding a Lax tournament in Rimini, Italy.
