WATCH YOUR VALUABLES IN YOUR CARS WHEN PLAYING AT RIVERSIDE:

It seems a number of cars have been broken into and valuables
stolen while they were parked at Riverside. It looks like
someone is watching the players park and then breaking into
the cars when they go and play. Be careful.

Ex:
"A couple of weeks ago my friend and one other person got
their car broken into at Riverside. My friend pulled his golf
clubs out before the game, and then put them in the trunk,
and that was the only thing stolen, although he had a couple
of other valuable items in his car. The other people got their
wallets stolen, probably also in plain view. The person broke
into these cars by punching a hole beside the lock, also
adding to the cost of redoing the door. Anyway, obviously
this person is observing people getting out of cars to play,
and since the fields are so far away, no one can see them."

NATIONALS '99 STUFF:

Greetings,

As you know the '13th Canadian Nationals' are fast approaching
(Do YOU feel lucky?) and there has been much talk about some
sort of "Ontario Regionals". Personally I do not think that we
will need them. With approximately 24+ fields (two sites, 2.5
klicks apart) at our disposal here in Ottawa, we should be able
to accommodate every and all of the teams that apply in the
five divisions that are offered. Traditionally we (CUPA) have
gone with 24 Open (could expand), 16 Women's (haven't reached
that figure in three years), 10 Juniors (wishful thinking!),
10 Masters ( A curious/precarious division), and this year...
the *ALL NEW* Co-Ed Division (Thanks Joey Gray!) As it stands
right now, these are the teams that have applied to come to
the 13th annual Canadian Nationals...

Also...
"A good tournament runs on it's stomach."

We will be providing "all you can eat" buffets on both Thursday
and Friday nights at Nationals while "showcasing" top "poolplay"
matchups for your viewing/heckling enjoyment. I would also like
to have an 'EAST vs WEST' guts contest during one of those dinner
hours... Any volunteers? (Don't worry we will save you your dinner)

I will be putting out these "updates" on Mike Harley's
'Ulti-Happenings' each week before Nationals. If you have any
questions please 'e' me at: 668prouf@sympatico.ca

DOUBLE DISC COURT TOURNAMENT - JULY 24TH SOD FARM:

There has been good interest in this tournament, but there is
still room for a few more teams.

Double Disc Court is an exciting game that focuses on throwing.
It also doesn't require much running, so it's a perfect game
for the Handlers out there *smile*. Rules will be explained
before the tournament since most Ultimate players in Ottawa
don't know the game yet. This is a great opportunity to learn
a new Disc game so grab your sunscreen and come on out! All
the proceeds are going to the Flamingoes Sharing Through
Scoring charity fund-raiser which is raising funds for The
Children's Wish Foundation, The Heart and Stroke Foundation
and The Wild Bird Care Center.

You can register as a single player or as a team (teams have
2 players). To register or if you have any questions contact:

Gavin Thompson
e: ffflamingoes@istar.ca

or check out the Flamingoes website www.visitweb.com/fff and
click on "sharing through scoring".

FREE CLEATS:

I have a pair of size 8.5 Nike Sharks, that have been worn
once (they hurt my feet). Free to a good home.

FOUND:

On Thursday July 8th at Riverside on the Northeast field by
the bike path I found what appears to be a gold bracelet.

I never would have seen it if I hadn't been standing still
and looked right at it, so who knows how long it's been there.

If you're missing one please contact me.

farm. If the owner is looking for them please contact me
