OTTAWA ICE BOWL II 

No Wimps, No Whiners!
The Ice Bowl is back, last year we raised a pile o' cash and 
a whack o' food and we're ready to do it again! 

There are 3 rules for the International fiesta known as Ice 
Bowl:

Rule #1. Under no circumstances may an Ice Bowl be cancelled 
         or postponed because of weather conditions.
Rule #2. No wimps or whiners are allowed.
Rule #3. There are no excuses for not attending. (Either be 
         there or be a wimp!)
         
Saturday February 1, 2003 is the day to mark on your 
calendar as we prove to Canada, North America and the World 
that Ottawa has the heartiest disc golfers around. 

Last year won the distinction of having the "Event with the 
absolutely worst (or most challenging) Ice Bowl weather 
conditions" and we received a $10 credit toward our total 
amount raised for 2003. Yay us! 

Tee off time will be 11:00 a.m. at Jacques Cartier Park in 
Gatineau. The tourney fees are $25 ($20 if you are an ODGC 
member) AND at least one bag of non- perishable food items 
for donation to the Ottawa Food Bank 
(http://www.theottawafoodbank.com). You can also bring one 
Christmas present you received but did not really appreciate 
(but someone else might) for the charity auction. There 
will be an Ace Pool, 50/50 draw, limited sales of Mulligans 
and Sideshow events. Bring lots of Loonies and Twonies!! 

Tim Horton's in Aylmer will be supplying coffee and baked 
goods for our golfers. The Ultimate Disc Golf Store and 
Disc Golf Stuff are among the groups donating prizes for 
this fine event and we will run the auction and distribute 
prizes at The New Edinburgh Pub following the golfing 
action.
