The New Year 2010!

Welcome to 2010! It is the New Year and it will be a good year for Townsville Ultimate, so Happy New Year!

Only a few weeks ago many of the folk who call Townsville home attended our first holiday game of Ultimate which was a success. It was so great to see everyone attend with such enthusiasm even in the light of hangovers from the Saturday night before, lack of fitness since the end of the season and even unsatiated hunger for the barbie after. It was nice to follow the game with a cosy barbie back at our 2 President's, Si and Mike, before we broke up for Christmas!

Preceeding the game people involved or beginning involvement with the committee attended a quick meeting summarising the look of our next year. It was good to see some new faces particularly Sam, Bobby, and Finny.

The meeting was a success with many new things discussed some of the more exciting ideas being a demo game of Ultimate before a Fury match, possible press release of results into the paper, and my favourite, one that I've personally wanted to see for years but which was suggested by male stripper extraordinare, Bobby, a nude calendar of all our hottest frisbee players delivered with the quote "175 grams is all that stands between me and your wildest dream." The only issue being after we fill the first few months with pictures of Bobby, what to do with the rest of the year. Simon's solution was simple: "Kittens in bowls for the last 6 months". Now I really do hope this next semester brings some female calendar interest for everyone's sake.

Oh and a side note: Pretty girls of the past 5 years of Ultimate if you ever get to read this, you know who you are, don't make me name you (if Hamish ever made advances on you then you may or may not fit this description - sorry Auds you can cough it up). But seriously please send any photos suiting the above description involving a disc and themed or unthemed nudity that we could use in our Girls and Guy of Townsville Ultimate Charity Appeal Calendar to our email address on the sidebar or to my own. They will be greatly appreciated. Anyone who is interested also feel free to drop us a line.

All the best for the New Year,
Hugh
