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?
