The Week That Was




Wellety Welley.. it HAS been a quiet week here at the BUB Palace, and it's finally caught up to us with views plummeting rapidly on the weekend. Or perhaps, like us, you were busy doing REAL stuff and enjoying the beeaaauuutiful Brisbane Winter. Either way, we're back and here's a summary of what we have certainly missed, but you, discerning reader, may have sourced your information through some back-water under-the-table dodgy dealing (with shonky builders).

Enough shocking ACA slogans, here it is (it's pretty boring):

The Australian Women's Beach Team desperately needs players. As we know that women don't read blogs, please pass this on to the women in your life who are great at ultimate. They need to get in contact with Notty for this one.

If you want to provide some light entertainment for the Australian Beach Teams, you will have your chance on the 23rd of July. Ride the AFDA Dinosaur to register. This is NOT limited to gender.

In the spirit of SEQ, we must further boast about our good weather (we've had little chance this year!) All of this week's news is about Beach Ultimate! Al Don would like to open up his Beach Courts to all and sundry, every Saturday at 10am - that's on Palm Beach. Just cruise on down and enjoy it. It must be said that when the mercury drops below 20, it's prime time for Beach Ultimate.

Now for some non-beach related news (boooo!):

A 4-week "Draft" style men's league will begin on the 30th June. This will be played at Annerley and will be a refreshing time for the BPL guys to mix it up and a great opportunity for new players to come and get a taste of BPL. Who knows, you may even be offered and exclusive spot on a BPL team for Season #2!! Head on over to AFDA to register. I'm not going to give you a link - if you can't get around the website, you shouldn't have gotten this far.

Movember Still Has a Few Days To Go

Our mortal brains are still reeling from DojoMojo's win on Thursday night to properly put fingers to keyboards to record the event further for posterior, but that doesn't mean you can't donate in the last few days of Movember 2010.

The Brisbane Ultimate Blog has been proud to continue our tradition of support (2009 Phil Stocks, 2008 Matt Anscomb and 2007 Rodney and Mansauce (again)) and this year we've done our bit for facial hair and men's health via aL, Dusty and Mansauce.

You can donate too!

Donate to aL Don (soon to be renamed MaL)

Donate to Dusty Czok (soon to be starting in his own 'tasteful' video collection)

Andrew 'Mansauce' McCasker (because while everything is better with mansauce, its better +1 with 'sauce'stache)
Let's hope that next year, Buzz, MatR and ... let's say the entire Slamtown Flatball Club can mo up!

Open Draft Hat Winter Thing - Thursday Nights in the BPL Off-Season

So with BPL moving into its two week final series, and the next season not due to begin until 29 July, some folks were wondering what to do with their spare Thursday nights (five empty ones, if you're playing in the BPL Final).

Dapper aL Don has come to the rescue, with his proposal for a four week draft hat thing. Rego at: http://www.afda.com/rego/showcompetition.php?competitionid=837 aL is hoping to recruit enough people to fill out four teams.

Players do not need to be regular BPL players - perhaps this is a chance to give Open Ultimate a try?

Dates: 1st, 8th 15th, 22nd July
Price: To be confirmed and based on rego numbers, but basically for field hire
