Disctivity 19 December 1996 issue pre-#1
I'd like to share with you the a concept for the Werkgroep DiscGolf (WDG)
statuten
{and perhaps a model for the WDS ( werkgroep DiscSports-broadening the werkgroep
as DiscGolf is usually a part of most Overall championships).
1996 (220) 1st Draft of WDG Statuten
{ The names mentioned are those asked by the Dulcimer Disc Sport / Baseball
School to translate that section to Nederlands. Such an assignment, should
they choose to accept it, will demonstrte to school-children the concept of
'veel handen makt lichte werk' of in American English, ' many hands make
light work'} {{Leaving it in English and working with it as such would be
helpful in showing to schools that playing the discsports can also be
useful in 'engels (spreek)vaardigheid'!!}}[and perhaps their willingness to
perform in that role.]

anyone with me so far?
if so, please send a reply with 'WDG Statuten' or 'WDS Statuten' in the subject
(limit to discgolf or include field events?)
If there are more than 10 responses, I'll use the initial ten repsonses
to choose WDG or WDS for the next draft ( and include all tranlsations
submitted
and/or change suggestions or additions)
' next send' will be the night before Christmas,
when all through the house, not a creature will be stirring (well maybe me
typing
away on this old Mac) and the computer's mouse...
hoping to hear from static, dynamic and honarary discsporters soon
(I'll be meeting with school officials monday morning so any kind of repsonse
will be helpful to show support}
with regards,
Mike
p.s. I'd particularly like the organization to raise funds for UNICEF from
time to time (mentioned later in statuten=statutes=constitution)
