WOMEN'S TEAM LOOKING FOR PLAYERS AT NATIONALS:

COB (Cranky Old Bitches), a Calgary women's Ultimate team
is seeking pickups to round out their roster for this year's
Nationals, in Montreal, August 27-30.

If interested, please contact Claire Fern at:

LOST:

I left some big cleats at the Sod Farm on Sunday. They had
orthotics in them and were Adidas turf cleats, size 13 or 14.

I left a green folding camp chair at the sod farm on Sunday
night. I left it beside the field where we got bitch-slapped
by Love Gravy.

FOUND:

There were a pair of sandals left at the St. Paul's fields
after Men's league July 9. I picked them up and threw them in
the back of my car. They're Reebok's I think, pretty big, and
were left at the field where Less Shame played against
Macarena Dancers.

DISC GOLF APPROVAL!!!

 After nearly five years of coaxing, haggling, and various
pressure tactics, I've now secured a park for a disc golf
course. I have a signed agreement with the National Capital
Commission to install a nine hole course.

 The site is Jacques Cartier Park (north) the same place we
sometimes play ultimate. The nine hole course wends its way
around the soccer field.

 My sponsor has yet to kick in the money I need to buy pole
holes; Tommy & Lefebvre was going to have the course named
after them, and would sell discs to recoup its ($2500)
investment. I've been pressuring them, but haven't seen the
money yet. So it's on to plan B. I have two options: find
another sponsor (for $2500 a sign on site would read "X disc
golf course"), or sell shares and do it ourselves. I'm keen
to go ahead ASAP.

 As of now, I'm selling charter memberships in the Ottawa
Disc Golf Club for $200.00 . A maximum of fifty would be sold,
and the charter members would control the club - likely to
become a limited company. The course will go in as soon as I
sell ten (make that nine, since I'm in for one). Here's the
larger plan:
 1)sell shares, install course this summer.
 2)re-coup the initial investment by selling golf discs, and
 by selling ads on tee signs on an eighteen hole course to
 open in spring of 2000 (likely on the land purchase site).
 3)pay back initial investors, if that's how the club decides
 to proceed.
 4)play disc golf and grow the sport in the area.

 If you want more info, such as a detailed budget, course
layout, or other info, email me direct. If you want to buy a
share, and become a charter member, email, or phone me at wk
724-5296, home 523-5784.

LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE:

 I am an Ultimate player formally from Ottawa. My girlfriend
and I are coming back to Ottawa for October, November and
December to do some elective time and we need to find
somewhere to live, preferrably central or close to the Civic
or General Hospital.

 We don't take up much room and we only need to be watered
once a week.

 Thanks

TIME CAP RULE CLARIFICATION/RETRACTION:

 I guess I confused the issue a couple of posts ago when I
tried to comment about our new time cap rule. The rule for
time cap is: When time cap is called finish the point. The
team that is up at this point wins. If the game is tied play
one more point.

 What we would like to add to that rule is that if playing
the current point (or the next point if the game is tied)
takes longer then 10 minutes then end the game and call it
a tie.

 We really want to avoid playing in the dark.

 Sorry for the confusion.

FOR SALE:

I'm looking to unload a new pair of in-line skates that I
just bought!

It's a pair of K2 Flight 76 soft-boot in-line skates. They're
the hottest thing in town and are sold out in most stores.

The only problem is that I wore them for the first time
yesterday and they're a 1/2 size too big.  Blisters!!!

I bought them for $380 incl. tax and I am willing to unload
them to the highest bidder.

Please spread the word.

I can be reached at this e-mail, at work (see below) or at
home at 745-9061.

Thanks, 
Noogs
