Apologies to those that get this more than once. -----Original Message----- From: UK Ultimate Sent: 21 September 2004 Subject: 2004 Conference & Awards Dinner
Dear UKUA Member, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONFERENCE Details for the 2004 UKUA Conference are as follows: VENUE: HOWELL ROOM, CCPR MEETING ROOMS, WESTMINSTER, LONDON DATES: Saturday 23rd October 2004 TIME: 10 AM 4.30 PM COST: The Conference is free to all UKUA registered members. (There is a maximum capacity of 50 people and pre-booking is required.) ***As we are especially keen to encourage representation from as many clubs/teams as possible we are offering the first 15 people (from outside London) who book a place at the conference a 10% refund on tickets for the Awards Dinner. (This refund will be made at the conference.)*** THE IDEA OF THE CONFERENCE is to bring together a representative group of members to discuss the development of Ultimate in the UKUA. Discussions would take place on the different areas of particular interest or concern to members. A Conference Report will be produced based on these discussions which will then form the basis for an ongoing development plan that would steer the UKUA's efforts over the coming years. All of this will have a direct effect on the Ultimate you play and the leagues and tournaments you attend next year and beyond - so make sure that your interests will be represented! THE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE is: 10:00 - Registration (tea/coffee/biscuits) 10:30 - Introductory discussions 11:00 - Opening presentation 11:30 - Workshop(s) on specific areas of interest 13:00 - Lunch 14:00 - Presentation 14:15 - Workshop(s) on specific areas of interest 16:00 - Feedback discussions and closing remarks 16:30 - Finish To help plan the specific discussions it would be useful to hear from as many people as possible a prioritised list of what you feel should be covered. IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND please reserve your place by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following details: - Your name - Team(s) you play for - Membership number (or email you registered on ukultimate.com) - Given an infinite choice what two discussion topics would you take part in? - Any additional comments you have. The exact details about the topics to be discussed will be based on the numbers and interests of those attending; thus it is important to have as wide a representation as possible. We would also like to hear from anyone with experience of facilitating or chairing (and writing up) group discussions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AWARDS DINNER Sponsored by LookFly and Jump&Reach Details for the UKUA 2004 Awards Dinner are as follows: VENUE: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON DATE: Saturday 23rd October 2004 TIMES: Drinks from 6.45 PM North Cloisters Dinner starts at 7.30 PM Jeremy Bentham Room After dinner dancing til 1 AM COSTS: £38 non-student £34 student (This includes a 3-course dinner, plus wine) DRESS: Black Tie FULL DETAILS OF HOW TO GET TO THE VENUE WILL BE SENT WITH YOUR TICKET(S) TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE UKUA ADMINISTRATOR.
