The demise of Shotgun signals the end of another era in Ultimate 
and soon we will have another cohort of student ultimate players 
for whom the name will mean nothing.

Now you don't need to know anything about the history of the sport 
to play it, but I think that if you get really involved you would 
like to have the opportunity to find out how things have developed.
At the very least you wouldn't want the history of your sport to go 
unrecorded.

Last August I went to the PDGA (Disc Golf)  Worlds in the USA and 
was impressed by their honouring of people in the sport. They 
induct 3 people each year into a Hall of Fame, citing their 
contribution to the sport. This ensures that some of the 
history of the sport is recorded as well as being a deserved 
recognition for the people involved .

They also honour their top players, tournament directors and 
volunteers for the past 12 months. I think this is an excellent 
idea.

What do you reckon?

Of course there should be an annual dinner/party at which to 
celebrate all this - might cost 20 quid for a sit down meal and 
party/dance. How much interest would there be?
