****************** 1348 players served ********************* Ultimate Happenings: Issue 111 - Aug 28 1999 OCUA Web site: http://www.ocua.ca "He who laughs last thinks slowest" ************************************************************ CONTENTS: ************************************************************ FR'EQUINOX CO-ED TOURNEY: In keeping with the Ultimate co-ed spirit set forth by other tournaments, Ottawa Ultimate would like to present the fabulous fall festival of foolishness, fun, frivolity and frisbee known only as the Fr'Equinox. The 4-3 co-ed Fr'equinox tournament will be held on September 18-19, 1999, at the Sod Farm. This is the closest week-end to the Fall Equinox - the time of the pagan harvest festival, the time of the witch's thanksgiving, and the time to find balance in your life as Ultimate wanes with the waxing night in the continuing cycle of life so fittingly embodied by the disc we hold so dear. Most importantly the Fr'equinox party will involve an open stage for a display of all Ultimate talent (sorry, no gong, and hopefully no fish in a blender). There will also be something called 'Guts Karaoke' with rules to be explained later. Fees are $200, plus a food hamper for the Food Bank. If you're interested, please contact Deb Murphy (deborah.murphy@ec.gc.ca, 613-567-3150) or Doug Tahirali (dougtah@achilles.net, 613-231-4662). ************************************************************ NATIONALS OPEN AND WOMEN'S FINALS VIDEO: Hey Folks! Many of you expressed an interest in getting your hands on a copy of the Nationals Open and Women's finals that Rogers taped on the 22nd. Unfortunately, those of you in Ottawa who thought you might get away with setting your VCR may be disappointed as Rogers will have to edit the games (likely the women's, sorry ladies) to make both fit into a three hour time slot. But, if you purchase a copy, you will get both games in their entirety. A copy of both finals will be available for $20, plus $4.50 shipping if you live outside of Ottawa. If you live in Ottawa, I will make arrangements to get it to you. (Prices include the government's take.) Please send me an e-mail confirming that you are in for a copy, then send me a cheque (to Andre Larade) along with your address and phone number to: P.O. Box 77034 Ottawa South Ottawa, ON K1S-3X0 I would say allow 4-8 weeks for delivery as I won't be ordering until I have most of the cash, but I'll let you all know when to expect them. If you live outside of Ottawa, please call your local Rogers and tell them you would like to see the XIII Canadian National Ultimate Championships that were taped August 22, and will be broadcast in Ottawa September 18 at 2pm. Thanks to everyone who played and helped out.
