Wednesday Night Pickup Goes Off

Last Wednesday saw the first night of Summer pickup at Oakman Park, Toowong.

Organisers were hoping for enough people to throw with.

So they were plenty happy when 22 or so people (including a bunch of rank newbies) got on down and got stuck in!

See you there! All players are welcome - lights on at 7-9pm. Bring $5 to pay for the lights. And as with all pickup games, bring a white shirt, a black/dark shirt, disc, water and your friends!

Wednesday night last week was bloody awesome, 20 odd people and most of them either new to the game, or just new to the Brissie ultimate community. If thats any indication of the interest in a pickup night during the week, I reckon wednesday night is here to stay.

yah more ultimate

as if do pickup in oakman when there's already a league at uq? Is it a good idea to start another one quite litterally down the road?

Should be pushing the nathan league to give the south siders something. Obviously I'm coming from a very UQ biased direction.

Sure pikcup will have a different player base and its a good chance to develop relations with the club. Still, its looking a bit like a turf war...

1) UQ League is pretty full and has been for years, and further field space on campus seems unlikely.

2) The owners of Oakman offered us the space/time - we'd be crazy not to take it up.

It's a good cheap venue that 22 people wanted to go to last week!

yeah good call, I figured the main reason was to secure the timeslot
