Hi

In Mal's Defence (wont catch me doing this too of tern)

i got the impression that its more a team of players that can be spared
for this. If you can only send two its a Worthy sacrifice for the club
to play hot box for one training (chick it out its a quick moving two
on game, but avoid the contact version). as i said in my last email
consider whats important for you, the club and ultimate.

As for the competitive demo at freshers fairs, sounds great.

Hi guys,

Couple of points, firstly, Fresher's Fayres and the like, one thing
that
Holloway and Surrey are doing is a demonstration game - the advantage
of
getting an outside team in rather than an internal thing being of
course the
increased profile of having a more competitive game to show. If teams
are up
for this but dont know who they would play just send me and email and I
will
sort out who can go to who, (its a two-way thing of course!). This will
also
serve to kick-start the season and interaction between teams.

I would also like comments on Mal's ideas for a SE team?! My only
concern
would be that it stops the better players playing with first division
teams
and getting experience and tactics that way, and as Kai said, may be
tricky
for smaller clubs - deffinatly some sort of joint ventures are needed,
perhaps training days as well as tournaments will really work, like the
UCL
beginners tournamnt a few years ago that ran drills for half the day,

thoughts and comments back to the group please!

'J'
