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.

RULES CLINIC

The Rules Clinic has been rescheduled to Sunday July 27th, 
5:00 - 7:00 pm, location and further details to follow.

time, could make a huge difference. The following is a list 
of current volunteer openings. Please refer to 
http://www.ocua.ca/ocua/volunteer.html for details about 
volunteer openings.

IMPORTANT EDITOR'S NOTE

I've just started to change the software that I use to send 
Ultimate Happenings with. I will slowly start moving email 
addresses into the new software, and I should be done by the 
end of the month.

The only difference you will see is that once your email 
address is in the new software, your copy of UH will be 
addressed to your email address instead of to "Ultimate 
Happenings".

That should be all. If you spot any other irregularities, 
please let me know about them!

Thanks,

Tony
