[BD] London venue for GB practice in Jan

2003-12-03 Thread Si Hill
Hi all Sorry to request again - but we are (again) looking for inspiration (or hard work?) from someone who can think of somewhere to run a GB practice in (around) London. The fields need to be pretty good; ideally we should be able to get them lined correctly; and there really does need to be to

As usual - the thing that really gets people hot and bothered is organisation of competition. In Chris' defence - there is a lot to do, and the number of people stepping up to organise tournaments is really low. (You should try it! Indoors is a doddle to organise, and you can clean up cash-wise

Start time for GB OPEN practice this SUNDAY is 10:30am. Venue is Bristol - the usual place in Clifton. I assume everyone knows how to get there - we've all been often enough. If not - find out - but don't rely on me for an answer! This is same for all squads - so should make life easier from log

d the historical record... The Tour 'rock' is in memory of Ben Rainbow, who founded Fingers 6, which begat Chevron Action Flash, and who did some of the very early work with Si Hill on how Ultimate teams might be ranked, an idea which eventually mutated into the Tour. Ben died in 1996.

More... 1. At sudden death in the semi-final (14-14) we started on D. Of course, we got a turnover! (They hucked some sort of 50-50 disc into our endzone, and Bob knocked it away.) So we had the disc on our endzone line Unfortunately we got a bit stuck and were having trouble moving the dis

I've been assured that someone is writing a more complete report, but in the meantime another highlight... 1. Rob Mitchell missed just one game in the week (which incidentally we lost). In the other games I can only think of a total of two (maybe it was three) offensive points that he didn't play

Hopefully someone is writing some more complete reports... but some more highlights (from the Open team) 1. Harry Golby doing a Greatest for a score to take half against Sweden (in the pool game). To do this he had to lay out into someone sitting on the sideline on a chair. The spectator got out

Some thoughts about organising Tour tourneys (arising from the field-marking fiasco). One of the original aims of the tour was to get us into a position where these tournaments were run to minimum standards. In practice this doesn't work because there is no sanction that can be imposed if somethi

I think its pretty clear that after the Feb and March practices the season is going to require that we move GB practices around, etc.  Further - given the issues we are having finding venues for everyone, we will probably have to start having practices in different places - so the different
