Dominic - Wouldn't it be better for this just to be an additional field or two on the UKUA finder? Why not talk to the UKUA webmaster? Whatever you want to put into the Lookfly CD would just be an export of a pretty easy query.
Otherwise you are duplicating a system and data that already exists - you won't be able to rely on people giving you a full set of information and any updates would have to be made in two places at once... Enthusiasm is to be admired but it shouldn't complicate matters or burden team captains with having to provide more info to more sources. Bear Consultant Coach to the Thundering Herd PS London Summer League is proving to be more exciting and of higher quality than ever before - now we're in the knockout games we've had 2 amazing close games played in great spirit: such a shame it's nearly over (and that we lost the 1/4!) Long live summer and winter leagues, surely the future of our sport. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dominic Hall Sent: 10 August 2005 18:59 To: britdisc@near.me.uk Subject: [BD] Description of your club Hi BD, One of the big points where we lose people from our sport is directly after University - a lot of the people who play at Uni graduate, then say to themselves "There's no club near where my parents / my new job", or "The only club near me is for really experienced people, they won't want me". Now, I know there's already a "Clubfinder" on the UKUA website, but it's not particularly friendly. I'm proposing to put something in the Fresher's Packs CD that Lookfly / Roadie Films put together - it's the most direct way of getting info to students. We'll be putting in a "Where to play Ultimate over the summer holidays" section. Ideally, I'd like a brief paragraph on each club in the country in there. This should contain: Club name Normal training location(s) and times Perceived geographical catchment area Attitude to complete beginners ("We coach people from beginner level / we're only for experienced players" Attitude to inexperienced players (only played Uni ultimate) Contact email addresses and phone numbers Divisions the club plays in (Open, mixed, women's, Juniors) plus any other information you might feel is useful. Please email me with a brief description of your club, and look forward to a flood of students coming to your practices.
