NO BORDERS 2003

Just a reminder that the 19th ANNUAL NO BORDERS 
TOURNAMENT, Ottawa's premiere tournament of the year, is 
happening on July 12-13th. This is an excellent opportunity 
for newer and veteran players alike to come watch and learn 
from some of the best competitive teams from Eastern Canada 
and the Northeastern US who are going to battle it out for 
the chance to call the No Borders title their own. Once 
again the tournament is being held at our UP Inc. facility 
and runs 9:30am to 6pm on Saturday, and 10am until 5pm on 
Sunday.  We encourage everyone to come down and enjoy the 
festive atmosphere from the sidelines or the beer garden, 
and cheer on our no less than 10 Ottawa teams. Bring a 
disc, bring a chair, and bring some money as proceeds from 
the tournament are being donated to Médecins Sans Frontières 
(www.msf.ca). This is definitely a tournament you will want 
to watch! Finally, a reminder to carpool if you can - as 
you know, parking is limited and there is no shuttle 
service!

Everyone is also invited to attend the No Borders party on 
Saturday evening at Barrymore's where there will be a 
special surprise and a great local band in The Long Goners. 
Tickets are available at the door for $5. The party kicks 
off at 9pm.

OCUA KIDS' LEAGUE NEEDS ONE MORE COACH! 

With less than 1 month left of the season, Kids League still 
needs 1 more coach! If you can devote Thursday evenings 
between July 10th and July 31st, please respond ASAP!

Coaches work in pairs for teams of 10 kids, and are 
currently being assisted by players from a competitive 
women's team. 

Details:

Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm, every Thursday

Format: 15 minute warm-up (6:00-6:15), practice/educational 
drills (6:15-6:45), game (6:45-7:45), cheer (7:45-8:00)

Coach Responsibilities: Coaches are responsible for arriving 
on time (6:00pm), getting their team together to do a warm 
up and some practice, and ensuring they have all left the 
field at the end of the night. It will also be the 
responsibility of each coach to find a replacement for 
themselves if they are not going to be there.

LOST

Help, 
I have lost my Timex watch with my diamond engagement and 
wedding rings attached.. We played at Sod 6 Thu June 26 and 
my car was parked near that area. I know I had it getting 
into the car, but think it must have fallen when I was 
getting in. If anyone finds it please call me at 741-7475. 
Thank you in advance.

ULTIMATE DOCUMENTARY

Hey All,
Thanks for letting me show a rough cut of my documentary at 
your season ending party in November last year. A lot of 
people asked me if the movie was available on DVD. Well I'm 
glad to say it finally is and you can buy it off of my 
website if you are interested. You can preview over 80% of 
the movie on my site at www.Ultimate-Trip.Com and its only 
$20. The movie is 83 minutes and has a bonus movie of the 
14th annual Clambake tournament in Portland, Maine which is 
13 minutes long. Thanks. 

John "Wheels" Hurlbut
