Chris,
The full proposal is at http://www.ukultimate.com/docs/assoc.htm
Under sixteens cannot be full members. The legal implications of holding
their details are too scary for us.
We will ask the teacher to become a member and give them a special schools
pack. We might well subsidise this heavily if we can afford to. Expect to
pay anything between zilch and maybe �50 with discs, coaching manual, etc
thrown in. To be organised by the new board of directors.
Ben
BUF Secretary
