I get requests for all sorts of stuff (rule books, discs, videos, 'how to start a team' guides, 'how to run a tournament' guides, etc etc). These are things which usually already exist in one form or another but are not always easily available. I am proposing to create a 'catalogue' of BUF material and make it more accessible to everyone (particularly via the website where its just literature). This should make less work for me - in the long run - and reduce the 'has anyone got...?' requests on Britdisc. There is still a problem with distributing physical objects though. I can email the rules to anyone. I can't email 30 frisbees to a Secondary School in Exeter! (Indeed I cant post them either as I don't get a chance to go to the post office) If someone out there wants to be a real saviour, please volunteer to be a BUF postman/woman for me! You would have to be prepared to store a stock of things such as discs in your spare room and to mail them out to people on request. I don't imagine it would be a particularly time-consuming job - maybe a couple of parcels a month? <Deathly Silence?> And if anyone could find the time to distribute Ultimatum by post then that would be *really* cool.

Ben BUF Secretary -----Original Message----- From: Simon Hill [SMTP:simon.hill@actix.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 1998 9:17 AM To: 'britdisc@csv.warwick.ac.uk' Subject: videos Hi seeing Peter's emails about the C4 video (look out for all our favourite celebrities on that one!)- I was wondering if 'the BUF' couldn't build up a library of ultimate videos. Then members (!) could borrow the videos to copy (er, I mean, watch). This would evidently be of great help to all the student clubs for recruitment - but also of great help to the rest of us who don't have a clue how to play, and could get a better idea by watching more good teams. I believe that there are quite a lot of tapes of ultimate floating about in the states. Maybe there are some people out there who already have lots of videos... Any volunteers?!!??!! Si (22)
