Sep 3, 2010 Hello GUPA Members,

Sep 1, 2010 Congratulations to everyone who came out in-spite of the of Heat and lack of Subs, to help GUPA raise $631 for Wellington/Guelph Women in Crisis.
The Tournament was a successful and Fun was had by all!
Congrats to Team Quattro for finishing first with an undefeated record and also winning the Spirit Award.

GUPA is sad to announce that one of our own GUPA members has suddenly passed away. Rosie O’Brien had set out for a cross-country road trip with her dog Oreo when she was involved in a head-on collision near Dryden Ontario at 10am on Monday morning. Although her dog Oreo survived, Rosie was killed instantly upon impact.

Over the past year Rosie had really gotten into ultimate, playing in the Gupa (Disc Pigs), WODS (Team Fun), and Perpetual Motion (A-Team) leagues, as well as subbing for a team in the RIM league (I think it was Vol-de-Nuit). She even played in the London Calling tourney a few weeks ago. She was really easy to get along with, and great to play with – never a negative comment and always showing a cheerful smile.
The visitation and funeral are tentatively set to be held in Mississauga at the Turner and Porter funeral home (2180 Hurontario).
Visitation: Sunday Aug 22, 2-4, 7-9
Service: Monday Aug 23, 3:30pm (Updated)
Our hearts go out to Rosie’s family and friends

Overview:
We’ve gathered 6 great throwers from the Guelph Area. Many play on the MuD Touring team that is making their debut at the Nationals this year in Sherbrooke Quebec.
We’ll be covering the basic throws, forehand, backhand, hammer, huck and pull.
Why we throw them and when we throw them. Depending on skill levels we can move to into more advanced techniques like fore and back hand IO ( Inside Out ) throws. As well as strategies for handlers.
All ages are welcome. This is a free event.
We will try to have a pick up game if time permits.
To help us better gauge numbers we’d appreciate it if you couldcomplete the poll below
