Fair call David. Good points well made. I have added Le Tournoi to the events calendar. SORRY!
Anyone else want in? We currently have space for about 5 more teams in either mixed or open. 15th/16th September down at Sandbanks. £150 gets you late summer fun, a party and some other stuff that is so good I can't even describe it. Hmmm. I can hear the anticipation building from here! Mixed and open divisions. Come get involved like the following teams! Mixed Flaming Galahs. Bye. Disconduct. Laywatch. Roehampton. EUC Staff. Gary's Team! GB Chicas. Lurve. Open MILF. Chichester Uni. GB Masters. Surrey Uni. Lucky Huckers. Brunel Uni. See you there. More concrete details to follow once Nationals has passed us by....feel free to e mail us if you need any info.

Much appreciated! We're gonna stick with that date anyway now, I figure given the growth of the number of uni teams in our region and hence generally only 1st and 2nd teams getting in (c.f. 5 bears teams in 2001!) there will still be plenty of beginners/intermediate players around who wanna come along have some fun and improve their game... http://www.emo-ultimate.org.uk/clinics.html for details uni exec people might wanna start thinking about transport for this? (e.g. drop-off: luffbra to nottingham site=20mins ish, or 2 cars/minibuses) Anyway ...down to business: The "quick-I'm-angry-having-wasted-several-hours-I-should-have-been-writing-my-thesis-knee-jerk" version: PUT YOUR F*CKING EVENTS ON THE UKUA CALENDAR YOU M*RONS! The "actually-I-won't-hit-send-but-I'll-leave-it-a-day-....aaaaand-relax" version: Some brilliant person, doubtless after changing the arrangements for an event they were running several times because information about other events was not available to them, came up with a genius idea..... "Let's have a place where everyone running an ultimate event in the UK can quickly and virtually effortlessly put up details of their event, not only publicising (sp?) their event for FREE to eveyone who needs to know about it, but making eveyone else running an event lives easier as they can see when the free weekends are so everyone in the country can play more of that sport they love (ultimate of course :P)" ....they though to themselves. Was the idea laughed out of town? Did people say to them "No, no-one will ever bother with that BWHAHAHA!"? No. actually some other* brilliant person spent a lot of time sorting it out so you could. (*possibly the same person in fact) simply go to http://www.ukultimate.com/event then hit "create event" on the right hand side in a little grey box (assuming you're already logged in) Seriously, It only takes 5 minutes of your time and may save hours of other peoples time. It'll also give you your own pretty little coloured box for your event on the list :-) I'm sure this moan has been up here before but i think its worth reiterating until people actually start doing it for *every single event* (i realise the situation has improved regarding this recently but it still can get better) N.B. It is the TDs of each seperate event and NOT the appropriate coordinator's (e.g. Felix/Ed Blockley's etc) job to put up each event rather than every single (e.g uni) tournament on here, they already do enough bl00dy work for the ultimate community as it is! Also, if you know of an upcoming event and spot its not on the calendar then maybe consider emailing the TD or just putting it up yourself cheers A now calmer Thrash P.s. sorry to those people who have recieved 20+ (spam) emails from me over the last few days... _________________________________________________________________ Get Pimped!
