Dear BD and could all captains please pass this on to your team's, we would love to reach as many people as possible.
As I am sure most of you are already aware, the GB team for The World Games (a huge multi-sport tournament run by the IOC for not-yet-Olympic sports) has been selected and are training extremely hard to represent you and all of Great Britain Ultimate at the highest level. www.ukultimate.com/worldgames We would firstly like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have already supported our fundraising and also the many, many of you who have voiced your support and joined the excitement, either to us as a team or individually. *Thank you.* *IndieGoGo* Unfortunately we do not receive any funding and although it is a senior squad, many players are struggling to meet the costs involved; some pulled out of the selection process or are finding loans. We need to train like professional athletes in order to compete against the best in the world, and will be taking our coach, physio and reserve players (essential with only 6 women and 7 men allowed on a team) to Colombia. The costs for players are well into the £thousands. We are therefore promoting the *GB World Games Indiegogo<http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/take-gb-ultimate-frisbee-to-the-world-games> * fundraising site so we can focus on training. How it works... 1. Click on the link http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/take-gb-ultimate-frisbee-to-the-world-games 2. Click "Contribute now" 3. Donate as much or as little as you can. 4. If you wish, choose a 'perk' (anything from Karaoke singing to coaching) so we can further acknowledge your support. Easy as 1, 2, 3 (,4)! Thank You. *Support Us* If donating isn't for you, we understand. We would really love your support in whatever way you feel you can give it. Come join the excitement and see GB take on the best! *Take a look at our facebook page<https://www.facebook.com/GreatBritainWorldGames2013> *‘Like’ or share our IndieGoGo campaign<http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/take-gb-ultimate-frisbee-to-the-world-games/x/2910083> *Follow us on Twitter <https://twitter.com/GBWorldGames> *Or come and say "hello" at an upcoming tour event.
