...that'd be me then, with nothing better to do with my hard drive.  
btw couldn't help noticing that in the BI issue covering the week of the
tourney, there was no mention at all of WUCC, not even in the events diary.

Subject:	Ultimate in the Big Issue

Issue 232, July 29 - August 4, of the Big Issue in Scotland has the double
page report BI said they would publish. I'm not going to type it all out
but here are a few highlights:


"American football without the ball"

Ultimate is a serious sport: you play it with a Frisbee, you can sacrifice
cakes before games[?], wear grass skirts on the pitch and take sofas for
the substitutes. It's serious all right: serious fun - and the Big Issue in
Scotland's sister charity is set to benefit.

If you head for the pitches around St Andrews university next week, be
prepared to witness some peculiar goings on. People will be 'going ho'
(horizontal), some may 'moose'[?], they'll be giving it plenty of Zs and
you could even winess a circle of death.

Yadda yadda yadda Ultimate yadda Cult sport yadda WUCC99 yadda Not Frisbee,
flying disc yadda Two teams of seven yadda Endzones yadda.

Dave grayson is the Captain of the team carrying Scottish hopes into
WUCC99. "I could never get to grips with football or rugby," says Dave. "I
could never get the hang of pulling someone's jersey or kicking theier
ankles. I wasn't good at any of that." [Dave will have his knitting taken
away from him and undergo 'Corrective Re-Education' to turn him back into
the disc hungry D machine we know and love before Worlds]

Yadda yadda yadda No referees yadda Sport on the rise in Scotland yadda
Spirit yadda Fund raising for BI yadda.

According to the organisers, the pairing [of Ultimate & the BI] is ideal.
Jon Hope, spokesman for WUCC99 explains "We think the charity, its ethos
and the image of the BI are all highly compatible with Ultimate's
dynamicism and emphasis on self relience and spirit."

Yadda the rest of teh article stresses how Ultimate wants to be taken
seriously but not lose the fun element.



A good article overall, and a nice pic of Dave (attachment too large to be
sent to britdisc - please contact Jester if would like a copy sent to you
directly) but unfortunately they haven't printed any details of how to
contact anyone invovled in Ultimate in the UK along side it e.g. the BUF
URL? If you turn a few pages though you do get a full page ad in colour for
WUCC with a nice pic of DoG v Sweden, the WUCC99 URL and a St Andrews phone
number (which I guess is the Uni's).

Good work fellas and respect to Jon and Tara for getting this coverage.
