Hi all, There have a been a couple of distressing incidents of things going 'missing' at tournaments this year.
Two of the most significant where: 1. At the BritOpen in Eastbourne a couple of advertising banners belonging to "Jump+Reach / GAIA Europe" went missing (two large banners advertising Gaia equipment). The fact that Jump+Reach travelled from Germany for the event demonstrates both the success of the BritOpen and the growth of Ultimate in the UK in general. I know Nolan and several of the team captains have been trying to track these banners, but I'd like to add my voice asking that anyone who has any information please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] direct. They just want their banners back. 2. At Tour 4 in Edinburgh an expensive, personalised splint belonging to Paul 'Timmy' Lawrence went missing. Again if you know anything please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] direct. These sorts of occurrences are becoming depressingly common at Ultimate tournaments. It is only a matter of time before an incident of this nature comes to involve outside authorities with nasty consequences to those involved and unpleasant knock on effect for everyone else. It will be a real shame when this happens, as it will signal a significant change to the way people approach tournaments and Ultimate in general. The UKUA advises all Ultimate players, teams, companies and TD's to take great care with your belongings at tournaments and for TD's and captains especially to do everything possible to ensure that incidents like these are keep to a minimum. It saddens me that this advice is necessary, Barry __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zion.ranulf.net/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/informed.asp
