Yes I can. I was contacted last month by Richard Sampson who is
Promotions Assistant at TNT magazine. He spent some time in the States
before starting with TNT and during that time got hooked on disc golf.
The mag is aimed as Aussies, Kiwis etc living in/visiting London.
Oz Freire and I had a meeting with TNT on December 30th and have been
working on a document to send to Leisure/Parks departments. It will be
a joint approach with TNT and the objective is to get a course
installed in London. TNT can then promote corporate leagues/
tournaments etc (no specifics yet) and involve their clients in
sponsoring events.
If anyone reading this knows of particularly suitable parks or has
useful contacts with Parks departments then please e-mail Oz at
