Just a few bits and pieces today.
ITEM: Reckless, one of Brisbane's new women's clubs, have launched their funky new blog thanks to the efforts of one Super-Megzz. More on the evolving women's scene soon.
Reckless have already started regular training sessions, on Wednesday nights at 7pm at Toowong's Oakman Park.
ITEM: Gold Coast Ultimate continues to go from strength to strength, launching their new website, in between counting down the hours until the big Slamtown Invitational Tournament, which looks like featuring 10 very attractive teams. Now, what do we have to do to see a proper Townsville Ultimate site?
ITEM: Nathan League doubled in size in just two weeks, with a full game getting on on those sweet sweet green and well lit Griffith fields. Four newbies were there, with promises of them bringing more friends, so lets hope the seed is well and truly planted. Alas, with State of Origin in Brisbane next week, the decision was made to cancel the session planned for 24 June, but we'll be back with hopefully more two weeks from now.
ITEM: We've been slowly digging through the QUDA archives in recent weeks, and its turning into a bit of a Robert Langdon adventure. We'll hopefully be posting a few treats in the coming weeks, once we rinse the dust off.

Griffith Nathan On Again Tonight
So we're off to the Griffith Nathan AFL field again tonight.
Lights on at 7pm and its free, so all welcome.
With UQ League finishing last week, and BPL players having had a week off, we're hoping for a good roll up of regular players - to help show the newbies that this Ultimate wheeze is the real thing.
A few folks turned up last week who led us to the Nathan Monday pickup group - a gang of about 20 friends who have a throw after 4pm on Mondays during semester. So we've invited them all along on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile the posters and flyers around campus have turned up several email inquiries this week. And maybe some of those touch footy kids who watched us instead of their grand final last week might decide to come and have a crack.
So lets hope its not too cold tonight! We might skip next week due to State of Origin, so this is the one to come too.
Why should you support the Nathan League?
- More Ultimate, of course, rocks.
- Getting Nathan happening can strengthen the local Uni scene - more IVs, more people to meet, more fun for Uni students.
- Under its grant from the Queensland Government, QUDA needs to develop several new centres of Ultimate by the end of 2010 - so getting Nathan happening helps us when we bid for more money in the future.
- The fields at Nathan are seriously sweet. Some of us worry about finding and keeping good fields around Brisbane. We have the chance to stake a claim here, so lets not waste it.

Play at Nathan Wednesday Night!
What with BUML off for the public holiday, and BPL finished until August, are you missing out on your regular Ultimate this week?
Then head on over to the AFL Field at Griffith Nathan Campus (off Kessels Rd), for two hours of lights (7pm-9pm) and lush lush fields.
Yes, it’s the opening night for the new Nathan League.
Your turning up on 10 June won’t be taken as a commitment for the 10 weeks that follows (but we’d love you to join in), but it will at least help set the stage for any newbies who come.
And you’ll get a good run around.

Nathan League Starts Next Week!
Many people would like to see the playing opportunities in Brisbane increase.
Well here's your chance, conveniently timed to match somewhat up with the conclusion of BPL and UQL for the season (weather pending!).
We've got the fields booked, and sweet fields they are.
We'd love some more people to step up and offer to help out, and particularly to promote the League.
Here's that location again:
Starting on 10 June with Learn to Play for new players, and pickup for experienced players. 17 June will probably also be the same thing.
Our booking is through to August - how much we use of it will depend on how many people turn up.
If we get 15 Griffith students showing up, then we will get a cheaper rate. But at the moment the plan is to charge $40 for the season proper (Learn to Play will be free).
See you there?

Nathan League Starts on 10 June
The first new Ultimate League to start for a few years now will be hucking off in just a few short weeks.
When: Wednesday 6.45pm 10 June, 2009 will be Learn to Play + Pickup
If we get lots of newbies, then we will run a second Learn to Play session a week later on 17 June, before starting the season (to get them up to speed).
With both BPL and UQL on a break around this time, we're hoping for a good roll up to help get the game established at Nathan.
Where: AFL Field, Nathan campus of Griffith University - near the corner of Kessels Rd and Griffith Rd. Many regulars will recognise this as the venue of Regionals 2007 and 2008.
