SOD FARM ZONING UPDATE:

A big thank you to all the players who wrote their counsellors
and came out to the meeting today. The outcome was as follows:

The planning and development committee recommends to council,
in a 7/1 vote, that a zoning re-amendment to allow the continued
use of the subject property on Spratt Rd. for Ultimate frisbee
for a period ending on Dec. 31, 2003 be adopted. This re-
amendment is granted with the understanding that the Ultimate
association will work with City staff to identify 16 alternate
"in City" replacement fields, that will replace the Spratt rd.
fields on a one to one basis as they become available.

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

DISC GOLF CLINICS:

The Ottawa Disc Golf Club will stage two clinics for new and
intermediate players: Sunday August 19th from 4 to 6 pm, and
Thursday August 23rd from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Experienced players
are encouraged to come out and offer a few pointers, and play
a round with less experienced players.

These clinics will also be mentioned in an article on disc golf
set to appear in the Friday, August 17th edition of the Ottawa
Citizen. If you're interested in attending, please contact CD
Exchange at 241-9864, or email Peter McKinnon at p-mckinnon@home.com

If you've never tried the sport, this is a great opportunity
to get off to a good start. If you've tried the sport but found
it frustrating, this is your chance to pick up some tips and
improve your game.

Thanks,
Peter McKinnon
