Dear All,

Can I draw peoples attention to the minutes of the BUF EGM held at the 
Nationals which have now been posted on Britdisc

There are some pretty big issues hanging over us at the moment and myself 
and the other BUF folks would appreciate it if everyone had a read through 
what was discussed. I have included a quick summary below to give you some 
idea of what was discussed and decided.

Thanks

Ben Ravilious
BUF Secretary

QUICK SUMMARY (for you busy people out there ;-)

General Worlds Qualification.
"Top Six Qualify" is just a rumour!!! Not yet a certainty.

GB Coaches Positions
These positions are now up for grabs.

Womens teams qualification for the 1999 World Clubs
Meeting to discuss this will take place at the Womens Outdoor Nationals 
(17/18th October @ Oxford)

Tour and Nationals:
Tour to remain as five events but reduced to fewer (16?) teams. Tour 
tournaments to be run closer together to leave a longer summer break for 
other events. APPEAL FOR MORE PEOPLE TO RUN TOURNAMENTS - ESPECIALLY IN THE 
NORTH.

Ultimatum:
Paul Hurt is ready to quit (that means no Ultimatum folks) if more people 
dont come up with material. Format to change to include summary of britdisc 
discussions with a greter emphasis on forthcoming events and issues. Aim to 
publish a more regular 'newsletter' style hand-out with an 'annual' at the 
end of the year. WE NEED SOMEONE TO EDIT BRITDISC POSTINGS FOR INCLUSION IN 
ULTIMATUM NEWSLETTER. Not a huge job. Contact me if you're interested. 
Please!

BUF Elections:
Treasurer: Ian Stebbing
Director of Competitions: Chris Hughes + Norm and others.

BUF Contacts Database:
Improved BUF website search engine to allow people to find teams/players in 
their area.

Finance:
BUF finances in good shape. Status quo can remain. BUF to publicise 
financial priorities.

BFDF Dissolution:
BUF now to oversee BFDF Diary (Ralf's baby) and Simon Moores coaching 
programme.
