Jester's summary of the BI article follows;

Dear David, (and Britdisc)

I wrote the main points of the article and relevant facts the week the 
magazine came out, just before Worlds. Don't you remeber reading it then?

I've since deleted the message, if someone for some inexplicable reason 
still has a copy in their InBox, perhaps he or she would be kind enough to 
forward it to David.

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.
