Having just read the recent e-mails regarding the UKUA I just thought I'd
add what support I can.
I've been playing Ultimate for about 7 years, started out as a junior & only
recently got back into the sport. It became clear that unless you were
affiliated with a student team it was hard to know about tournaments/results
etc. We still have a few players that are juniors & play GB and we get most
of our info of them. Now with the new association it is extremely
encouraging as it seems to encourage and involve really enthusiastic players
who find themselves a little isolated. I cannot say what a difference
already the new attitude has made to our team. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!

Sorry Ben,
It wasn't a critism. I have no complaints. I know that all
of you have put a hell of a lot into getting uku up and
running. I was reacting to the slam down of Steve's
questions. The website will come, association will get up
and running. I just think that questions like steve's
shouldn't be considered dangerous or negative. All it needs
is for someone to point him in the direction of the proposal
+ AGM + britdisc archive (as did happen).
As a ultimate body we should be open to questions - if we
start flaming them off as we did here, then they don't get
asked and ultimate players continue with the questions in
their heads and eventually get turned off. The email was
targetted more at the flamers than at ukua.
Any how I obviously have to much time on my hands at work,
ben
