UKU OWT2 - GB U17 Open request #ukut2

We are obviously pretty happy to have been able to publish the UKU OWT2 schedule ten days in advance of the event.  We have - however - hit a problem.  Unfortunately, despite publishing the list of entered teams several times, it was not until the schedule was published that we discovered that the GB U17 Open team was missing from the list of entrants.

UKU Membership Checks OWT1-2 2014 #ukut1 #ukut2

ACTION REQUIRED BY REPRESENTATIVES OF UK-BASED TEAMS THAT ENTERED OWT2 AND/OR PLAYED LONDON CALLING.

In the last six months we've been doing membership checks on a few of the teams at each of the UKU events.  We have found a low - but not insignificant - number of players forgetting to renew their membership. As a result we have decided to check ALL UK-based teams that played London Calling, and ALL UK-based teams that will attend OWT2.  We need full team-lists for both events - instructions as follows:

University Coordinators Committee Elections

From 2014/2015 the University Coordinators Committee (UCC) will be introducing annual elections. To maintain some consistency within the committee only selected positions will be put to election each year. Positions will be awarded for a 2-year term so, under normal circumstances, elections for each position will be held every 2 years.

 

In preparation for the 2014/2015 season the UCC are looking to elect a new Scottish Regional Coordinator and Mixed Division Coordinator.
