Or clubs could go and ask their local council about what they can do and 
apply to the charitable funds already there.  We did and got some money to put 
coaches through the UKUA course.  Talk to you council and think about taking 
ultimate to your local schools.  There is loads of stuff clubs can do with a 
little help from other organizations and people do want to help you if you ask 
for it.
 
 Now our local council is going to act as an umbrella body and help us get CRB 
disclosure on all the coaches we train.
 
 Stop asking what can the UKUA do for me and go and get it done on your own 
with the resources there already.  It makes Ultimate look better too to the 
rest of the sporting community.

Clearly there's no substitute for professional full-time medical cover but
having read about the costs of running a tournament, perhaps St James'
Ambulance cover wouldn't be a viable option, given that some people already
raise issue with tournament fees.

How about a UKU organised (semi-funded?) first-aid course, run in the same
opt-in fashion as the coaching course?  With enough subscribers (I'm in),
cover could be provided during a whole tournament in gaps between games.

Just a thought.
