Random Info - Update On The EUC2011

For your intrest : An email sent out by the chairman of the European Ultimate Federation some two weeks ago :
"Here is an update about European Ultimate Championships 2011. The position is not ideal, but we wanted to provide information to help people with their planning for next year.

Firstly - following the international events this summer - and in particular the World Junior Ultimate Championships - we are now working on the basis that our preference is for running the four JUNIOR divisions at a separate event. The EUF Junior Committee are working on some options for that event now. We are not in position to confirm the likely venue or date quite yet but we can say that:


1. we are planning to make sure it does NOT clash with EUC, and
2. we are trying to put the event in central/eastern Europe

With that in mind, here is the current situation with EUC:
1. We are working on the basis that the EUC event will take place from Sat 30 July to Sat 6 Aug.

2. We are working with a "lead bid" in Ireland. However, they are still resolving a number of questions and so we are not yet able to award the event. I am hopeful we will have a much clearer picture of this by the end of September.


3. Since we do not know if all of those questions will be resolved positively we want to make this known to the European Ultimate community in case anyone else feels they would like to put themselves forwards. Its worth noting that with the Junior divisions at a different location/time it should now be possible to run EUC with around 12 fields. If you think you have a viable venue and would like to discuss things further, please get in touch. Please note that we are very much want to stick to the dates noted above: i.e. 30 July - 6 August.


Wish it was better news – but we’re working on sorting it out asap.
Si Hill, on behalf of EUF Committee"
