Brevin,

I'm passing your email on to the group that plans ulty
in Cville (cville-ultimate-planning@yahoogroups.com)

I passed on the torch to this group when I moved to
Atlanta in June 2003 (geez, almost been 2 years).

You have good ideas. As always the trouble is getting:
- volunteers
- fields

May I suggest that the upcoming Fools Fest in
Fredericksburg would be a perfect opportunity to get
together to share ideas. Saturday night dinner,
perhaps. You pick a time/restaurant. The attendance
will be greater since folks will be in Fredericksburg
to play.

-Rich
