WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADVERTISE IN THE NEXT ISSUE OF TOUR?:

Another issue of The Ottawa Ultimate Review (TOUR) is in the
works and will be published in time for the spring/summer
Ultimate season. The purpose of the newsletter is to communicate

needed to participate and improve the league while promoting
the image and spirit of Ultimate throughout Ottawa.

By advertising in TOUR, your organisation would gain direct
exposure to a growing market of young active professionals in
Ottawa. Ultimate's summer league has grown from 5 teams to 204
teams over the past 13 years. Ultimate players form a diverse
group from all ages and backgrounds with approximately:

- 33% working in the Hi-Tech industry
- 23% in Business and Government positions
- 15% are Students

any team that is interested in participating in the '14th

Please contact:

MARCH MELTDOWN PARTY:

PARTY DOWN PEOPLE							
GET FUNKED UP
WITH................
SUPERFREAK!!!
										
Saturday, March 6th @ Barrymores.
										
On Saturday March 6th 'O.C.U.A' and 'March Meltdown' will be
hosting the 1999 season commencing "kick-off party" featuring
those darlings of the Toronto music scene 'SUPERFREAK'.

For those that remember last fall, 'SUPERFREAK' closed up the
'98 Fall League season with a "grande soiree" at 'the Cave'.
This year we are hoping for an even larger turnout, so dig
out them dancin' shoes and come on downtown to Barrymores
and party.

************************************************************
OCUA MASTERS LEAGUE:

This year OCUA will again offer a Masters League. The requirements
are simple, you must be over thirty and either male or female.

The night has been changed to Fridays so that old folks with
young are not going to keep them out late on a school night.

Last year it was a very informal pickup format and was a great
deal of fun, however this year I am trying to make it more
structured. I need people to submit whole teams. I will take
down the names of individuals and try to get them on to teams
that are short of players, but to make this fly I need teams.

If you are interested please contact Nick Roberts at 729-9227
or e-mail nroberts@cyberus.ca

ULTIMATE STICKERS:

In the last issue of Ultimate Happenings there was an advert
for Ultimate Stickers for sale from the States but the catch
was you had to order 40 of them. Well if you were interested
but only wanted one then OCUA can help you out. We have ordered
a bunch and will have them available when they come in.

************************************************************
FRIDAY NIGHT VOLLEYBALL:

For those that don't know I am an assistant coach with the 
University of Ottawa Women's volleyball team. We are hosting
Provincial's this weekend.

Our quarterfinal match is Friday night at 6:30 pm versus
Guelph - we have split our last two matches this season. We
need some loud fans to support us and help us get to semis on
Saturday, soooooooo.... if you have a chance and can drop by
it would greatly appreciated!!

Given that we are hosting, I have arranged a deal for tickets.
Unfortunately I can't get them free, but I can get them for a
discount. Ticket for Ultimate Players is $2 versus the usual
$4-$5 for non-students.

If you can attend, simply tell the ticket-takers that you are
with Ultimate and they will give you a discounted ticket.
Hope you can all make it and thanks in advance!!!!
