All, Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Si, the Board and everyone else who helped to make this happen. It's a great achievement and one which I'm sure in years to come we'll look back on as a pivotal moment in the development of Ultimate in the UK.
I remember us getting the cold shoulder last time (1995?!) and feeling that we really were out on the margins. This recognition finally puts that right. Well done you legends!
