Well Mark, good luck with setting up the junior team. As you say, with a
student base of 2500 students it shouldn't be too difficult however
Middlesex University have around 20,000 students and we still can't field 
a decent squad for the outdoor season and have had to withdraw from Exeter
as a result. Parents may be a problem although the people we're trying
to attract ARE the parents!!!

Does anyone have some great recruiting idea's/suggestions for the up-and-coming
fresher's week to attract them to Ultimate and TO MAKE THEM STAY!! We had
a decent number of members in October 1997 but gradually lost them
over the subsequent months. I appreciate it will be a difficult task to
attract big numbers due to Middlesex's unfortunate geography and the mature
student population (having familie's etc.) but how can a balance be achieved
in appealing to competitive sports people and those that aren't so competitive
and just want a good time? 

I think true Ultimate initiation comes by going to a tourny but even that seems
like a huge feat and thats even when the Uni are paying entry fee and
transportation.

HELP!
