- USBA UPDATE
July 10, 2000
- This is an electronic supplement to Many
Happy Returns being sent to all USBA members who have submitted
their email addresses. If you would like to be removed from this
list, or if you know anybody who would like to be added to this
list, please contact Billy Brazelton at update@usba.org.
- These news updates will be most useful if
they stimulate you to contribute your own thoughts and ideas
to the USBA cause. Please send all complaints, suggestions, ideas,
and proposals to usba@usba.org. Contact info for individual board
members can be found at the end of this message. Please write
us! Send all news items for inclusion in USBA Update to update@usba.org.
Now for the news:
-
- STICKERS: As announced before, the
USBA store now has boomerang bumper stickers for sale. The "Boomerangs
are Coming Back!" stickers are $1 each, and the official
USBA logo red balloons are $0.50. Place an order of $25 or more
and get them for half price. This is a great way to expose the
public to boomerangs, as conversation-starters or advertising.
Contact Pat Steigman (psteigman@tyler.net ) to place an order.
-
- DESIGN CONTEST: Don't forget the National
Boomerang Design Contest at the US Open in Canton on August 11-14.
Prizes will be awarded according to the guidelines outlined last
month, and all winners will be mentioned in USBA Update!
-
- ELECTIONS: All USBA members should
be receiving nomination forms for the USBA Board of Directors
Election in the mail soon. If you don't have yours yet, make
sure your membership dues are up to date and Steve Cook has your
correct address. Once you get it, please consider running for
office. If you have ideas about what the USBA should be doing
to promote the sport, this is your chance to make a difference.
-
- MHR: The next issue of MHR is nearly
finished, so submit those materials, letters, and articles NOW!
Also, please tell the Board and Editor Ted Bailey (tbailey@ic.net)
what you think of the new style of MHR. This is YOUR newsletter,
and it's up to you to make it the way you want it.
-
- INJURIES: There was an unfortunate
incident at the Atlanta tournament this year when a spectator
was seriously injured by a fast catch boomerang while spotting.
While the thrower is technically responsible for the position
of all spotters, tournament directors are encouraged to teach
spectators how to safely spot all events. It may also be a good
idea to discourage inexperienced spectators from spotting fast
catch or endurance at all. Thanks to Hurlin' Will Herlan for
this news item.
-
- TOURNAMENT RESULTS: Please send Billy
(update@usba.org),Tony (MHREditor@usba.org), and Ted (tbailey@ic.net)
tournament scores and summaries! Nobody will ever know you had
a tournament unless you tell us about it! Here are the results
