Hi BD-ers
Here's a quality national media mention, which as far as I'm concerned
is rare enough to warrant a Britdisc posting.
>From page 6 of The Observer yesterday, the article "That's another fine
club you've got me into"?  
> In lieu of an online article to copy-and-paste, here are the relevant
> paragraphs:
> 
> Britain's traditional institutions - from churches to trade unions -
> are fast losing members as new and exclusive clubs spring up in their
> place.
> In place of holy communion come Laurel and Hardy.  Out with the
> Women's Institute - in with frisbee-throwing teams.
> The clubbable spirit has never been stronger, according to a Gallup
> poll to be released this week...being in a club is the number one
> pastime for 21 million of us.
> Essex Rocket Club recently became the first amateur group to break the
> sound barrier; the Albatross Ultimate is a thriving frisbee-throwing
> group; and the UK Sucrologists Club brings together collectors of
> packets of sugar.
> [...and then some stuff about how important clubs are, but nothing
> specifically about Ultimate]
> 
Now, about those sugar packets...sounds like a hoot!
> Cheers
