All, I have been copied into this correspondance to the Chairman of the UKU (the British frisbee association) and after checking with the appropriate parties felt I had to share! The great thing is this is not a gag! And he is really very pissed off....
Adam PS I just hope he continues getting junk mail etc ;-) Hi Barry, I'm writing regarding the payment of UK Ultimate membership fees. I registered online and rostered with Plastic Factory online about five weeks ago; about two weeks before Tour 1, I attempted to register for a PayPal account and pay my 27.50 membership fee. However, after five minutes of minor frustration, I just decided to dash off a check and post it to the address on the UK Ulimate website. Unfortunately, several weeks have now passed and have heard no confirmation of receipt of my check, which has been cashed, and I am still not registered on UK Ultimate. Coincidentally, I have instead received in the post a parcel from Ultimate Promotions Limited. This parcel contained a small bottle holding five large green capsules labelled, 'HORN: 100% Herbal Product, Safe and Natural Erection Capsule.' Also included was an order form advertising for purchase a wide range of additional products, including but certainly not limited to the 'Erotic Rabbit Vibrator' and the 'Super Erection Pump.' As the 'HORN' capsules were valued at £28, this suggested to me that perhaps I had posted my check to the wrong address. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that the address for Ultimate Promotions Limited was identical to the one for UK Ultimate. Ideally, I would now like to swap my five HORN capsules with a more needy member of the Ultimate community, perhaps someone who is based in London and a member of the governing board, who could either find a use for these capsules or perhaps negotiate with their London neighbours a return of the £27.50. At the very least, I would like to not be excluded from Mixed Tour 1 (and would like to sort this out) and think that the UK Administrator should make contact with Ultimate Promotions Limited. Beyond alerting them to the possibility of future confusion, there could be additional benefits. Given the large number of single men playing the sport and the fact that we have yet to achieve a 50:50 gender balance, perhaps there is the opportunity for a positive engagement between the two communities. Please do not force me to consume all five capsules prior to our match on pitch 5 on Saturday.... All the best, Rich ---------------------- Richard D.
