Earlier this year, having had the good fortune to be able to introduce some players who were moving to Aberdeen, I helped spark-off a new team - purely by email. This made me realise that with the exception of Britdisc and the BUF website *existing team* listings, we dont have any means of getting local players in touch. The number of people playing Ultimate in this country now has got to the stage where there must be at least one player living (or associated with eg via university) in every town and city in Britain. The possibilities for putting people in touch and hopefully starting new teams must be endless. If people think there is any mileage in this (would it produce anything? - would people contribute information?) I would be willing - Statto that I am - to look after a database on contact details. I guess the BUF would have to look at Data Protection Act issues, etc but then you would expect a Federation to have a list of all its members wouldn't you? Discuss... Ben
