Hi everyone,

Without wanting to sound like the counsellor from South Park ('drugs are
baaaad,  okaaay!'), I'd like to make a slightly different point about drugs
and Ultimate.  Okay, many people who play Ultimate have a relaxed view about
drugs, and quite a lot of people who don't also have a relaxed view.
Unfortunately, almost all of the people who control the facilities we need
to play on (i.e. decent sports grounds) have very fixed views on drugs (at
least publicly).

The point I am trying to make is that if we want to use decent venues then
we can't afford a negative image.  The people who run those venues will
refuse to associate themselves with that negative image.  There are other
people who can better comment on this.  However, the Ross tournament can be
taken as an example.  It is still a great tournie, but, unless old age is
dimming my memory, it used to be held at a nicer venue until an unfortunate
drug related incident.

As for names, I don't think 'Headrush' is too offensive (especially when its
Ultimate context is explained).  'UTI' will only offend those people looking
to be offended.  I think 'Coventry Child Abuse' is probably pushing it
though ....
