SA Nationals 2006 Video
Like Nick Cage in a bad treasure hunt movie, I have discovered and dusted the cobwebs off my old hard drive and recovered my video editing project from Nationals ‘06.
Yes, its beyond overdue, and might be outdated to the point of antiquity, but that makes it even more cool to watch. See some old legends in full action and see some current legends looking younger, fitter and with more hair. Witness the scraggly beginnings of teams that grew to dominate, awesome full game footage, many magic game moments and off-field extras…
This was a labour of love and I want to share it, but to help cover cost of discs, boxes, printing and postage the prices are as follows:
Single DVD R50
Pack of 5 R200 (R40/DVD)
Pack of 10 R300 (R30/DVD)
To place orders email me at: james[at]wildcardsa[dot]co[dot]za

Swinburne Weekend Info Pack
This info pack will provide you will all the info you need to ready yourself for a weekend of Ultimate Fun!
Dates: 27 Feb – 1 March 2009
Venue: Appin Farm, Swinburne (near Harrismith), Free State

Ultimate players from Johannesburg, Pietermaritzburg and Durban are especially encouraged to come, and to put together 7-a-side teams for the Saturday morning. Beginners are welcome – there will be a great fun hat tourney on the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning!
What you need to do right now:
Tell your Liaison Officer whether you are coming:

Provisional numbers will be collated on Monday the 16th of Feb
Final numbers, your accommodation preference and your R100 – R120 weekend fee should be in on Friday the 20th of Feb (fee will still be calculated by Hilton). We are going to be strict about this deadline as food needs to be bought and plans drawn up. No pay on that day, no play.
This will include your tourney fee, breakfast and lunch Saturday and Sunday, and munchies throughout.
So, what do you need to know?
Accommodation
Accommodation is basic – no frills and no room service.

* Barn accommodation (dormitory-style): R50 pppn
* Rooms: R120 pppn (rooms consist of 2 single beds and an en suite bathroom)
The Liaison officers will collect your accommodation money on the Sunday morning, so make sure you bring enough cash to the farm.
There are plenty of showers for the campers and dorm people in the common facilities. There is a fridge in the barn as well as in the big kitchen. Lots of power points – also for the camping.
Meals
Johannesburg will buy the food and there will be a cooking roster drawn up by Marc for cooking turns. There is a big kitchen with gas and plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils.
There will be a fire lit in the lapa for people who want to braai on Friday night – otherwise just eat en route. Salads and side-dishes will be provided for the Saturday night supper – you bring what you want to braai.
Drinks
Please bring your own drinks! Don’t forget enough water and other drinks to keep you happy.

Hi All
The results for Week 1 of the Summer League are already up for viewing (click on League tab). Well done to Sigi, Rob2, and Neale who are on a par with 9 points each for top overall player so far!
We had about 8 newcomers who joined in and played really well - so just to reiterate that this is an informal league - all levels of players are welcome. It’s good fun and a chance to notch up some experience in a proper game situation. Also, the league will be run over the next 6 weeks or so, and after that we will go back to normal drills followed by a game. Check your e-mails from the distribution list for updates.
On Thursdays we will still be doing drills and fun games, and Sunday games will be played as normal.
Any questions feel free to contact me 
See you on the fields!
