Cycling, injuries and upcoming events!
The last couple of months have flown by with any number of things taking up my time. I've continued to plan upcoming tournaments, done some work with the UKU Competitions Committee and moved house. Not to mention my training for, and taking part in, the Right To Play Brussels-London Cycle!

Charity Fundraising
We held the prize draw originally planned for Resurrection this weekend at Copa Del Soul. Over 200 tickets were sold, and about £170 raised, which I will increase to a round £200.

Quick Update
It feels like ages since I have posted anything here so I thought it was time to give you an update, and show that I have not been sat on my lazy bum doing nothing!

Loads of effort for nowt
A large amount of effort, dating back to before Christmas, turned out to be for nothing this week as I was forced to cancel Resurrection. With ten teams pulling out over the last four weeks, it just became too small an event to be viable. Annoyed as I am at those teams for pulling out, I guess some of the blame must lie with me.

Mix & Mingle Write-up
This weekend saw an excellent Mix & Mingle take place with two nights of partying and two long days of high quality Ultimate, all with a cracking eighties soundtrack.

M&M imminent
With just one week to go until Mix & Mingle, I seem to be as busy as ever trying to sort out all the final details. I left my job in the NHS a couple of weeks ago to focus on my events work and I don't seem to have stopped for any length of time since then!

Lots to catch up on
Where to begin... A lot has happened in the last month so I will try not to miss anything out!
I'll start with Uni Women's. This tournament was a great success. 24 teams took part and all feedback received on the weekend was very positive.

Back in the swing of things
This weekend was the annual Sheffield Beginners event, held at my favourite indoor venue, Ponds Forge. I was playing for the Naughty Strawberries and we finished 6th in the experienced division, with my old mixed team Don't Let Go finishing 1st.

Indoors
It's been a while since I have written anything but that is due to being very busy! As the new UKU Indoors Director of Competitions, I have been busy with the bid process for Open Indoor Qualifiers and Mixed Indoor Nationals.

At the Copa...
The Copa Cabana tournament in Nottingham took place this weekend and was amazing as ever! Such a brilliantly run event every year, I know I can learn a lot from it.

What to do with a week off work...
Hey all, I've had this week off real employment so have been putting it to relatively good use! The website has been updated with a new layout and changes to the Who is? and Right To Play pages, and its new .com domain is all set up and working.

New ventures
Right now I am sat in the pub with the cricket on. Hilfenhaus has just scored his first ever runs in the first innings of a test match. Typical that that should come against England! Of course, I haven't set this up to muse over the state of our National Cricket team...
