They're just a bunch of light weights. ;-) Sneeeky's, probably still holding the record for the most miles travelled in a season, would certainly be prepared to attend. Ah, those were the days! Good luck with your next bid! Fraser Sneeeky's -----Original Message----- From: Dinesh Narayan [mailto:djn997@aber.ac.uk] Sent: 12 January 1999 20:02 To: Britdisc Subject: Aberystwyth Tour 99 bid 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.
