Well not so much breaking as crumbling on old paper. This just in... (actually in a suitcase that has been lying in my garage for 8 years)
>From the UK Frisbee Association Newsletter of Septemver 1978 a report on the >Gold Spinner Frisbee Championships - 6th UK Nationals sponsored by Unigate as >part of their promotion for Gold Spinner Cheese Spread. These included individual events and Ultimate "At the close of the two day event, Derek Robins from Northampton, a new face on the Frisbee scene, emerged as Overall Individual Champion...." ahh happy days! "Steve Hurrel of the Ally Pally Tossers won the distance event with a UK record throw of 295 feet 4 inches. Steve's record toss will be going into the Guiness Book of Records" and Ultimate .... "Probably the most competitive event was the UKFA National Frisbee Competition which this year saw 9 teams competing, including the champions, Cambridge University Frisbee Association and two teams from Warwick University Frisbee Club. In the first round Cambridge put out the Purley High Ultimate Frisbee Team, whilst Ally Pally Tossers defeated the Waddon Weeds. The Warwick second team beat the 1976 Champions the Bournmouth Frisbee All Stars, and first team club-mates had a comfortable victory over the London based team, All Weather Fliers who, earlier, had disposed of the Nab Wood Frisbee Club from Shipley in West Yorkshire. In the semi finals the Warwick seconds were no match for Cambridge, but the Warwick first team proved a little too competitive for the Ally Pally Tossers who retired from the game after 20 minutes with the scoreline at 6-1 to save their energies for the individual events. The final was what everyone had expected, Warwick versus Cambridge. This turned out to be quite a match. It certainly caught the imagination of the crowd, who by half time with the score at 4-4 were rising to their feet in response to some fine Ultimate play by both teams. In the closing minutes Cambridge pulled back from being 8-7 down to win the match by 10 goals to 8. How they did it I'd like to know, I suppose that they were the better team on the day and that is what counts." There's also a report on a UKFA Touring Team trip to Italy sponsored by Camel cigarettes, but that's all I have time for tonight.
