Thought I'd forward this from Eurodisc in case anyone is interested, 
I've played with Valerio a couple of times and can vouch for him 
being a thoroughly decent chap,

>Hi,
>this is Valerio, from La Fotta, Bologna, Italy.
>After 1 year with Patatas Bravas, Barcelona, at the moment I live in
>Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
>Since there isn't Ultimate here, I am trying to make up a team.
>Difficult thing in the soccer-land, you now.
>But I have been working on it: I'm talking with sport teachers, I' m
>playing in schools, I'm going to start an Ultimate course at the
>University on May.
>
>I'd like to organise a Tournament in July at the University of La
>Laguna: an old style Ultimate tournament.
>Talking with friends about growing Ultimate, always comes out the
>same problem: make it always more popular or keep it small.
>I got my choice, my egoist choice. I need to play, I need to make up
>a team, more teams, I need make popular Ultimate, BUT with the
>primitive Spirit of Ultimate, no a big-gold-business tournament, but
>just an old style tournament.
>
>Old style for me means:
>- make a cheap and  good-organised tournament (cheap can be not bad)
>- play in a very good field
>- respect  the Spirit of the Game ( Spirit isn't a
>grandfather-boring thing, as well as, the good Spirit of a team
>doesn't correspond to how strong it parties)
>
>So, the Worlds will start on August, do you know any better way to
>practice than playing in a perfect-grass field in a free-fees
>tournament in Tenerife??
>4 National Teams (I'd like four Master Teams, because, I'm sure,
>they mix the best playing with the best Spirit), fighting for one
>weekend, showing to Canary people how Ultimate can be a spectacular
>and a hard sport.
>Food and accommodations are free, as well.
>
>The University will give me a confirmation for the field in a couple of weeks.
>Let me know if there are National Teams (in particular Master) that
>are interested.
>Thanks, see you soon
