Barney, Thanks for the mention of Ultimate in the Guardian recently. http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/wellbeing/story/0,,2279386,00.html#article_continue, Not the most flattering thing ever said about the sport, but we'll take any coverage we can get. There's no such thing as bad publicity as they say.
Anyway Ultimate is growing pretty well in the UK right now and our national teams (we are sending 5 of them to the world championships in Vancouver in August) are some of the best in Europe. Great Britain won 5 golds and 2 silvers at last year's European Championships. With the potential to have some world class performances to report over the summer from Great British teams it might be worth your while finding a bit more out about the sport. There is a tournament in Brighton on the 7th and 8th of June, and if your interested then you'd be very welcome to come down to the tournament, watch a bit of high level action and meet some of the players from the national teams. The tournament is a mixed tournament (3-4 gender split for every point) and will be attended by teams from across the UK. I understand that another rather larger tournament is kicking off that weekend so if you've been roped into covering the German journey to inevitable victory then please pass this invite on to any of your colleagues not of a footballing bent. Thanks for your time Tom Styles Ultimate player and podcaster (blockstack.tv) __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
