Mark Bridges has been a part of GUPA for a few years now, and this year, played an absolutely essential role in making the Soggy Bottom bowl a success.  An honourable mention also goes out to his pickup truck.

We sat down for a twelve hour interrogation, and got the following out of him:

1.  When did you start playing ultimate?  I started playing Ultimate in 2009.

2.  What is it about GUPA that makes you want to join in as a volunteer?  I like what GUPA stands for: “for players by players”

4.  One type of throw you want to improve?  My up-wind hucks.

3.  What was your proudest moment while playing ultimate?  The last tournament I was playing in, we were down 10-6 and came back to win the game 13-12 on universe point.  I got to play every point, and the momentum shift and intensity was just something that was so much fun to be a part of.

**Note.  Volunteers of the Season are lavished with our latest and greatest GUPA Merch.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

It’s the grassroots nature of GUPA that makes it stand out in Guelph, and it’s the members and players of GUPA that make it awesome.  On that note, we need your help!

Current stuff we need help with:

1. Hat Tourney – August 27th – We could use help with the nitty gritty with this, our second biggest event of the year.  Set-up/tear-down.  Food, Merch, water…etc
2. Promotions -  Is photography a hobby?  We can never have enough action shots on the field.
3. Graphic design.
4. Contacts in and around the Guelph Media scene
5. Merchandise - We could use volunteers willing to man the merch tent at events we’ll be going to this year.  If you can count, and love GUPA, get in touch with us.

If you can help with any of this, or have a skill/talent that you think would benefit making GUPA even more awesome than it already is, please email info@guelphultimate.ca
