Dear BD,

You can read the candidates manifestos and get your ballot form at: www.ukultimate.com/elections/2004/ It will only take a few minutes of your time. Or you can request a ballot form to be emailed or posted to you by contacting: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 0870-7607189. The closing date for completed forms (by email or post) is the 31st December, 2003. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'VIRTUAL' AGM This is a reminder of the 'Virtual' AGM, the aim of which is to give all members an opportunity to raise any issues you feel should be brought to the attention of the new Board. Please send all details of such issues to [EMAIL PROTECTED] All issues received will be passed onto the new Board either via email or at the first Board meeting. Details of the organisation of the 2004 Board can be found at: www.ukultimate.com/about/how.asp Comment and discussion is invited. There are also two motions for approval. You can vote on these motions using the ballot form for the Board elections: www.ukultimate.com/elections/2004/ Motion 1: Changes to the UKUA Constitution: The proposed new constitution is available at: www.ukultimate.com/about/docs.asp Please include any comments along with your ballot form. Motion 2: Changes to Membership Types and Costs Some of the changes are: - Introduction of a temporary membership to allow visitors and occasional players to compete in official UKUA events without paying full membership. - Clarification of the different benefits and restrictions of the different types of membership - Introduction of a small fee to the first year introduction membership. This results from research showing that the majority of players who take advantage of the 'free' introductory option do not then become full members. - Clarification that the free registration only membership does allow players to take part in many of the official events. - As the UKUA made a loss this year (the Annual reports will be available soon) it has become necessary to raise the cost of full membership slightly. - Introduction of new membership options for our younger players (u16's must register via a parent/guardian). For full details visit: www.ukultimate.com/about/docs.asp It is hoped that these expanded options and the provision of online payments will help to make the membership more flexible and easier for everyone. As these issues have a significant impact on the Ultimate you will be playing over the next year please make sure you vote! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UK Ultimate Association 0870-7607189 [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pootle.near.me.uk/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/informed.asp
