If You Don't Have Plans For Friday Night:

Dave Brown (the Ultimate playing guy that he is), his sister
Cathy and a friend Ted Hurley are The Publicans.

They will be playing Folk and Celtic music at the Duke of
Somerset Pub this Friday night from 9:30 on.

A few Ultimate players are already going, maybe this could
become an event.

New Fields:

 Hi,

 Yesterday's big Ultimate Happenings had a request for help
finding good Ultimate Fields for next season. I have already
received a few responses and that is great.

 Unfortunately, looking at a field to see if it is good
enough and contacting the person responsible for the field
to see if we can use it takes a lot of time. I personally do
not have time to do this. I will pass on all responses to
Craig Fielding but I don't think he has the time to look at
all of these fields.

 It would really help us a lot if you could look at the
field, see if it is big enough, flat enough, safe enough and
then see if the owner will let us play on it. If all of this
seems fine an OCUA board of director can follow through on
this.

 At the same time if there is anyone who just has time to
help us follow up on some of these field ideas that would
be a great help.

 Finally, if you have a good field idea but don't have time
to follow through on it yourself, I can understand. Please
just let us know about it and we will try to get to it.

 Thanks Again
 Mike
