Whats happenin' in Slamtown

The Mayor has returned from an epic journey in the far north spending time in both Vancouver and Toronto, and having the luxury of playing a bit of ultimate both top quality, and or recreational quality while at home. Of note, I was perusing the VUL (Van Ulty League) online and was astonished to know that on a single night, there were 47 games being played in nearly 20 divisions!!

Outrageous!

Well the sad news first, our transient beach community has lost a few more of our regulars, and major contributors.

The best tan in Australian Ultimate is back up for grabs as Jody Thomas (our black guy) has moved back to Toronto. Jody was a BPL MVP, who had a viscious OI flick, a mean read on the disc, and could jump like a brotha.

The Morgans - One of the Gold Coasts most celebrated sibling couples have moved south together in Phamaceutical pursuits of grandeur. Both Mike and Terri have represented the GC as members of nearly every team in the past 4 years, as well as being integral parts of the GC leagues both in terms of onfield presences, and administative excellence.

All three will be missed, though we're planning on getting the Irish settlers back in a year.

Halibut is fast approaching and with 16 teams regoed, it's poised to be a big one! Having it back in the GC has attracted a wealth of Interstate teams, and the Talent theme has got things buzzing. Stay tuned for a team by team breakdown... and hopefully one from the BUB too!!

GC league, is set to start next week, with a final game of pick up as our launching pad to a draft league. Numbers have been slowly increasing, and with all the regulars back, things are starting to look good again. The debut of the port-a-field was a hit at last nights pick up, and we're very greatful for the kind donation from QUDA.

Beached as bru - Beach Ultimate is live and kickin in the GC... but it just happens to be all Brissy folk playing... next week will be different... so Brissy folk... keep coming down, and we'll be sure to bring along some GC'ers to play nice with you all.

BPL starts in about 4 weeks... recruiting has been interesting... and ongoing... but we're looking forward to going one win deeper than we did last year.

That's all for now .....

Cheers
