To all ultimate players who played with Cambridge Ultimate
or GB Juniors 1994-2000:
I am afraid I have bad news.
For those of you who knew James Metcalfe:
James committed suicide. His Mum has asked me to pass this tragic
news on to all the ultimate players who knew James.
James started playing Ultimate with Strange Blue when he was
about 13, in ~ 1994. He also played with the GB juniors squad for a couple
of seasons. He was still playing with Strange Blue at Nationals
1999, and came to practices every month or so for much of 2000.
He was loved by all who played with him; we will miss him terribly.
James' Mum would like us to collect our recollections, photos
and memories of James's life on paper (A4 paper please) so that a book of
his life can be put together.
If you would like to send your recollections by email, please
visit the website:
http://wol.ra.phy.cam.ac.uk/ultimate/james/
and send your contributions to me (mackay@mrao.cam.ac.uk).
Electronic contributions will be included in the website,
and will be printed out on paper before the funeral.
If you would like to send
thoughts / photographs / memories by mail, here is the address:
Tricia Metcalfe and Mark Shee
63 Rock Road, Cambridge, CB1 7UG
01223 563 031
Or send things to me (19 Thornton Road, Girton, Cambridge CB3 0NP)
if you prefer.
I will post the date of the funeral, which is likely to be after August 14th,
on the website: http://wol.ra.phy.cam.ac.uk/ultimate/james/.
I am really sorry to bring this bad news.
yours
David
