Hello,
This Sunday will see the second stage of the London Beginner Sessions that we started last month. We're trying to give people who are new to the sport a chance to understand what it is all about and to pick up some basic skills. Our last day had about 15 total beginners come out and a few people who were looking to get back into the sport and it went really well. It's not open only to "beginners", you might have been playing a while but fancy getting out and having a session with some different people. Whatever the reason, please come down and get involved. It'll be alongside the Flaming Galah training session so they'll be a big game at the end with everyone getting a chance to get involved. One total beginner got the most outrageous layout D last time so I'm hoping to see more "experienced" players utterly humiliated in front of a rabid, baying mob. That's the dream. If this session appeals to you or you know people it might do, then please forward it on. Ovathrow sent some of their corporate colleagues down to the last one and I saw them playing winter league the other week, so it could be just the nudge people need to give it a go. It doesn't matter if they have never thrown a frisbee before or claim to not be able to catch, tell them to come down and give it a go. The split last time was 50-50 men and women as well so they need not be put off if they think it will be all guys. I'm aware that this could have been better announced/organised but I'm sinking a little bit under the weight of frisbee admin. In the new year, I'll try and get these sessions better advertised outside of frisbee circles and make a push at developing a beginner team that possibly enters summer league after a few months of training. If you have any bright ideas about how we can do this, or maybe you fancy helping out, then please drop me a line. It's all work in progress at the moment so your suggestions and advice are appreciated. Thanks. Dan. Dan Berry.
