Hello folks!!

I've been reading the comments that followed Colin Wagstaff's remarks
about the prospect of holding a tour event in Aberystwyth with interest.
I would like to thank everyone with Britdisc, on behalf of Mwnci See,
who has given support to our bid. It is unfortunate that we will be
unable to go ahead with it this year. We were, and still are, looking
forward to hosting a tour event but what let us down this year was
accomodation. We believe we have the facilties to host a good tour event
which included nice flat, even fields. There is even a  Safeways
supermarket fairly close to the grounds so food and drinks would have
been no problem. Unfortunately, the university which owns the grounds
where the tour event would have taken place refused camping on the
fields and this time we were unable to secure alternative camping sites
nearby.

I admit Aberystwyth may appear a bit isolated, a bit cut off from the
rest of the country but I don't believe it would have put off most
competitors in participating. It is no less accessible than other places
where ultimate tournaments have been held in the past. A tour event in
Aberystwyth would have been a huge opportunity to promote ultimate in
Wales which has, as far as I know, just two teams. There is still a lack
of knowledge or understanding amongst students here about our sport and
a tour event would helped enormously, it may even have helped recruit
new players. Also the idea of hosting a tour event in Aberystwyth came
from Alex Evans, who set up Mwnci See and played for us and is now a UTI
player. Sorry Colin.

Hopefully, by next year we will be able to get sort the problem about
where to accomodate players and host a successful tour event. In the
meantime, Mwnci See apologises to the tour organisers for removing our
bid to host a Tour 99 event, sorry for any inconveniance caused. Thanks
again to everyone who has shown support, see you all later this year.

Cheers, Den
Mwnci See, Aberystwyth University Ultimate.
