ONLINE REGISTRATION REMINDER

Teams which don't have 12 people registered online by the end 
of the day May 28th will forfeit their $50 roster deposits. 
Captains can check their team lists on line to determine if 
they have made the cut. Teams which make the roster deadline 
will have their roster deposit cheques destroyed (we will not 
be returning cheques).

************************************************************

COMBINATION LOCKS

The UPI combination is 6282 (OCUA on a cell phone keypad). 
You should PUSH IN and then YANK HARD on the lock to open it. 

There will be a lock at SOD soon with the same combo.

The last person out of SOD and UPI should close & lock the 
gate.

************************************************************

WATCH YOUR SPEED

Just a reminder that the speed limit in Manotick Station is 
50km/h, and out of respect for our neighbours and the law, 
please keep to the posted speed limit in that area.

LAYOUT FOR LIFE TOURNAMENT - MAY 26

This tournament is a perfect opportunity to get your league 
team out for some early season Ultimate! There will be 3 
divisions: Competitive, Recreational, and Beginner. Something 
for everyone! Beginner teams will be provided with a coach if 
requested.

There will be a beer tent, and hopefully a BBQ as well. All 
proceeds from the tournament go to the Cancer Research 
Society.

Entry fee is $175 per team. 

If there is enough interest, hat teams will be entered. So it 
is now possible to register as an individual.

For more information or to register please e-mail 
layout4life@ocua.ca

Thanks,
Gavin Thompson
Layout for Life Tournament Coordinator

SATURDAY PICKUP LEAGUE

Last year John (Grant) and I organized Saturday pickup at 
Riverside Park. Already this year, quite a few people asked 
if we were going to do this again - the answer is yes, we 
will.

We plan to start playing on June 2nd - we learned last year 
that not many people are around on the long weekend.  As per 
last year, we will play at 3pm at Riverside Park (in front of 
the hospital).  So come one, come all! Bring a light and a 
dark t-shirt, a disc and a couple of friends.  We hope to see 
many of the people who played last year, and hopefully a few 
new faces too! All levels of players are welcome!

Have a great day!

EDITOR'S NOTES

Hi! I just wanted to mention that from now on, I'll be 
sending UH postings on Thursday nights when I get back from 
taking my little sister to the Kids League (she had a blast, 
by the way, and you should all get your younger siblings into 
it! :)). Anyway, please pass on any articles by Thursday 
afternoon so that I have time to put them in each week. Of 
course, important notices will go out as required, but I'd 
really like to stick to the schedule! :)

Thanks!

Tony
