At last! I, too, would like to thank Nancy for bothering to make the effort. And Ian for providing whatever support and assistance he could when the need arose. For those of us that played, or didn't, it happened, and it wasn't as much fun as it could have been. For Nancy and Ian, they've got to re- negotiate with the venue..., which won't be easy, and definitely won't be fun. I'd like to hope that this setback will not dissuade Nancy from continuing to be involved in the whole organisational structure of Ultimate, and even dare to hope that she may even make the effort to host another tournament. If she does make that effort again, I'd expect the rest of us to trust that she has learned any necessary lessons, and be there. As British Ultimate grows, it needs more tournaments, with directors and venues. We don't really appear to be encouraging them. As for the evolution of the Tour, and/or UK Ultimate in general, the Tour was designed on principles focussed on a specific sector of players in mind, and a fuzzy boundary for how those principles could be extended. It seems more than apparent that those fuzzy boundaries are at full stretch. If anyone has sensible propositions for the evolution of UK Ultimate, think them through properly, and submit them to the BUF. Ideally they need to be submitted now, 'cos it's near enough time to start trying to arrange the 2001 calendar...
