Thanks Matt, It is always good to actually get feedback - even when it is negative. Unfortunately it is too late to change anything this year and it's a shame we didn't get more feedback earlier in the year. The dinner/conference was first suggested in the Member Update sent on the 14th March this year (www.ukultimate.com/member_update/march_2004.aspx). We will take your suggestion on board for next year and ask for more venue suggestions. It is impossible to keep everyone happy all of the time and all we can do is learn and keep trying to do things better.
In the meantime I hope that those of you that can make the effort to travel to the dinner will do so! As Alia says there are more than enough Ultimate players in or near London for us to put together a really good night. Some of us are travelling down from Edinburgh and are looking forward to the first ever Awards dinner. Anyway, hopefully see many of you at the conference if not the dinner!
