Announcing the Unannounced + Quick Summer Summary

So regular readers will have noticed we have stepped back from daily updates to zero updates.

Here at stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion, there’s a lot of not Brisbane Ultimate community stuff going on (although the admin stuff continues as usual). So blogging will be sporadic at best for a bit while we see if the blogging batteries can be recharged.

Don’t forget we’re always looking to post your material or even offer you a room here at the stately mansion yourself, complete with access to the gold plated hovercraft and the private indoor disc golf complex. You just need to be able to write relatively coherently (sorry Carl).

As this post may be at the top of the blog for a while, for those new to town or seeking some news on the Brisbane Ultimate, here’s a quick summary.

Brisbane Ultimate generally has its off-season over December-January, with Mixed, Women’s and Open Leagues restarting in early February. Get onto the BUDA email list (link on the right there) to get up to date. The top level Open and Women’s Clubs Firestorm and Black Betty are training through these months as preparation for Nationals, which will be held here in Brisbane on 1-4 April 2011. There is also some Wednesday night pickup (open to new players) at Oakman Park over the Summer, but you’ll need to be on the BUDA list to keep up with rain closures and the like.

Local tournament-wise, people are keeping their eyes open for the Australia Day Beach Ultimate Championships in late January, as well as booking their flights to the Queensland Open State Championships (aka Northern Regionals) to be held in Townsville on 19-20 February.
