Hi All,
I am primarily a disc golfer now, though Ultimate was my main
activity for many years.
The inclusion of non-ultimate events in the listing may appear a
little odd now, but the listing used to be maintained at Warwick
and was a service provided for all disc sports. It has since been
taken over by BUF and hosted on ultimateweb, minus the facility
to screen for ultimate/golf/other only. At the time BUF (Ben R)
was happy to continue to cover all disc sports.
I am not going to get worked up about inclusion or exclusion of
disc golf on that particular mailing/database, but all events do
belong on britdisc.
I welcome the positive comments of Melanie and Joe, they display
open minds, respect and cooperation. That is what spirit is about.
