When the day of tryouts actually came, Bel was a little surprised at herself for not being nervous. Instead of outright nerves it was complete eagerness on her part- eagerness to do her new role justice, and to do her absolute best to make sure it was fun for everyone and not too intimidating and generally just an all round bonza experience for anyone who came along.

She herself was there well before the advertised time. She'd set up a whole lot of obstacles, basing them on what she'd read about in different Quidditch books, her conversations with Alec Summers and his wife, and with various friends who represented different under seventeens squads, and also trying to make it as fun as possible.

She was waiting by a big sign that said 'start' and looking out over the obstacle course she had set up. There were barriers for everyone to fly through, a chance to swoop down and grab a quaffle and try and get it through the hoops before turning around and flying through a series of glowing coronas down the centre of the pitch, then a chance to try and block the opposite goal posts while Bel threw quaffles herself, and then a swooooop down to grab a beaters bat, and finally a mad dash to the finish line on the far side of the pitch through a stretch patrolled by charmed marshmallows which would burst either on contact with a bat, or with someone flying.

Probably everyone would end up a sticky mess by the end of it but wasn't that part of the fun?

For herself, at least this time around she was wearing proper Quidditch tryout stuff, and on her own brand new broom. Should she stretch a bit? Yes. Oh and look, the first people were starting to arrive!

"G'day you guys! Lets just stretch and warm up while we're waiting for everyone to get here. You can run up and down the side of the pitch if you want or start stretching, whatever suits you. And I'll explain about the obstacle course when everyone's here, bonza?"

ooc: Hi guys! To start you can post your charrie arriving, maybe reacting to the obstacle course they see (and here's a little visual for you all!) and warming up. Please don't have your character start on the obstacle course until Bel tells them to. I'll move on when we have a few people, and then you can expect a post from me at least once every 24 hours. You can post as much or as little as you like throughout the tryouts. Don't forget to take the survey. Please note, while Bel is seeker, if anyone has a charrie that IC wants to try out as seeker (and be a reserve) then they are more than welcome to do so. Feel free to VM or PM with any questions. And lets have fun!
