      Next games are in VG on March 19. Games in Tortola resume on Saturday April 1st. Such is life when you have to accommodate other events in the Sports Complex

          I don't see how you could have interpreted that I was disappointed from what I wrote but anyway... I have no issue with games being played in VG, I welcome it actually. I'm not so sure about Anegada.

          I was more referring to the all the other activities that will require the use of the gym (Cheer-leading, Track & Field?, Basketball). My issue is that volleyball always seems take a back seat to any other events that are being held at the gym.
