Hi, The address to subscribe to the new northern regional mailing list is actually:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems obvious to me that the NWL & NLL should be combined in some way so there aren't two separate leagues to handle. I would take the schedule of the NWL (a series of one-day tournaments), and combine it with the flexibility of the NLL (so the location can move around the region) to satisfy the most teams, with results counting towards both leagues. Extras, such as independent NLL events springing up unexpectedly, or a separate NWL website / table, can only serve to benefit, not harm, both leagues and the region as a whole. Moving forward I'd suggest potential event organisers in the North get working on it and claim one of the following dates for their event: 12 November 10 December 14 January 18 February 18 March So long as they announce it as soon as they've finalised it (to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - subscribe!) then there shouldn't be any conflicts. It is essential that as many potential hosts get working on it asap though, to ensure the location changes suitably. If there are too many event organisers then it's a great opportunity to arrange a smaller scale Ladder League event for local team/s (this is also great for showing hosts how easy events are). For simple guidelines on how to host events please see the FAQs section of http://www.regionalultimate.co.uk/ Felix On 13/09/06, James Melzack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Dear Northern ultimate community (everyone else can stop reading now...) As Lucy quite rightly pointed out, northern winter league was a bit of a shambles last year; and the only ladder league I was aware of was cancelled at the last minuite. Needless to say this sort of organisation off the pitch does not represent the quality of ultimate we are used to seeing on the pitch. We can only try to redeem ourselves this year by doing a much better job of it. I think it would be unfair to host all NWL's in Leeds as it means the same people (pies especially) have to do lots of travelling to get there; or simply not turn up. It does however mean that they would go ahead. I think the best method would be to host one NWL in Northumberland (Newcastle, Durham), one in Lancashire (Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster), and two in Yorkshire (Sheffield, Leeds, York, Hull, Bradford). ...this way no-one has to consistantly make a long journey and it spreads the location according to the team dispersal. Of course we don't have months to discuss this so I would like to suggest that anyone interested in hosting a NWL make it known in the next month (by mid October) via one of the e-groups. we don't currently have a co-ordinator for this so we will just have to be grown up about it, we have more than enough e-groups to facilitate good communication but we don't have many voices speaking up. For anyone that's still unsure: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], It follows in my mind that ladder league should follow a similar pattern; if each 'area' were to hold its own ladder league it is highly likely that other teams from that area (and one or two from ajacent ones) would make an effort to attend; or plan b we could just host all of those in Leeds too. I'm sorry to everyone who has recieved this message more than once; but its impossible to know who is signed up to which e-group. -Chef __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
