Yo,
It's about time we had our AGM/ party. All those in favour say 'aye!'
I don't really mind when we have it, but I think its important that we have it on a Saturday, as we all go back to school very soon.
Weekends coming up include
4/5 September (most likely too soon)
11/12 September (clashes with glastonbury)
18/19 September (why not?)
25th/ 26th September (why not?)
I would ideally like it to be around this time so that we get all our friends that haven't yet gone to university (I basically want to draw on Josh's sleeping face), but still get a few of our friends who are coming back to Kent uni a bit early.
Put your thoughts up here, and some one tell me when Euros is please.

Hey All,
Kate's taken the minutes from the AGM, so look out for those for highlights shared of the season past,
For now, I'd like to explain my intentions as captain, and what I'd like to do with the club over the coming year.
Autumn
It was agreed at the AGM that we'd keep both Tuesdays and Thursdays running as long as the light allows us to, for fun Tuesdays ending up at the Monument for 'The Biggest Pub Quiz in Canterbury', and Thursdays for a training session.
I really like this idea, as there's features of ultimate that people enjoy going on at both trainings, a bit of fun on Tuesdays, when maybe a mac line is a greater priority than holding the force, and Thursdays will allow people to stay in shape ready to impress the KTT freshers coming our way soon.
I like naming the trainings as well, as people can deliberatly pick out what they want, and if they have a life outside of ultimate (?), then they can prioritise what they want.
When the light beats us, I'd like to make a real effort with Sundays as a way of developing bonds between KO and KTT, so when KTT have got regionals/ nationals coming up, we can give them what they want, either working on some specifics, or a competitive game of ultimate, or mixing it up and offering them tea & toast at 43B if they just want it to be social.
Indoors
I don't really have a PLAN for indoors, I was just gonna take each tournament as its announced, and see if we've got enough interest/women/ drivers. If a tournament looks fun, I say we go to it and have fun.
Indoor nationals is in Glasgow in the new year, and I'm not really that motivated to hike all the way up there if I've got work on the Monday, but I've no problem entering a team if there's enough interest, or stepping aside, and dedicating trainings to the effort, if there's enough people with the intention of qualifying for and going to nationals.
I'm going to start looking into booking St Ed's indoor hall again for the Indoor season, as it's easy for KTT to get to, a nice enough hall, with campus pubs nearby, and we've still got RV up there to let us in when the caretaker goes on holiday/ ceases to exist.
Although word is there's a reason to go to Barton Court, so I'm going to be looking into that as another option, and if more people want to head to that side of town.
Tour
In the new year I'd like to run some trainings dedicated to tour, so that we are ready for the 2010 season, and can continue to compete with teams at the top of the B tour, and in the A tour. I'd also like Mash, Gladys, Bus and our dearly departed SC, amongst others, to keep the Mustang love going, as Mustang looked to be an amazing thing to be part of this season past.
KTT
I'd like to make a big effort to recruit from KTT this year, as we are losing some players to rainier parts of the country, which is why I'm preferring St Ed's for indoors at the moment, and would like to make an effort with Sundays being about helping KTT as much as KO. All the KTT players that played tour for Mustang/ Open added to the great vibe on both teams, so I'm just looking for more of the same.
Recruitment
This is mostly covered in everything above, building links with KTT, looking at indoors at St Ed's so RV could bring a couple of players, and Robin might not be too far away either.
If YOU want something to happen with Kent this year, then speak to me and let's make it happen

Dear Kent Open,
Myself and fellow Ultimate player Steven Martin are running a year-long fund-raising campaign in aid of the British Heart Foundation. This will include several exciting sponsored challenges including running marathons and climbing the equivalent height of Everest using imaginative alternatives (think carrying canoes up other mountains, climbing ships' masts and firemens' ladders and so on). The year will conclude with the largest charity Ultimate tournament the UK has ever seen on 21-22 May 2011 at the fantastic Pavilion in Birmingham (
www.thepavilion.co.uk). ALL profits will go to the British Heart Foundation.
See our first promo video at:

www.frizbeat.weebly.com for details of the tournament
www.frizbeatproject.weebly.com for information about the rest of our fund-raising efforts
I would love to see a Kent Open team at the tournament and if you guys fancy participating in one of our challenges or setting up one of your own just let me know. Us Ultimate Frisbee players will show just how much we can get done if we all pull together in aid of a good cause.
I'll harrass you about the tournament in the Tournament section of the forum nearer the time!
