DESCRIPTION

Although we may have graduated, the club we dedicated our blood, sweat and tears to continues to thrive as our legacy lives on. Although we may be stuck behind desks, on the road, travelling the world or watching Jeremy Kyle crying into our UoE hoodies, ultimately we will always be Blades. The Alumni newsletter is our opportunity to stay connected with our beloved club and each other. Once a Frisbabe, always a frisbabe.

So...What have I missed!? Sugar Rush 2014

Another December at Colchester

Campus meant one thing, another

Sugar Rush and boy did the team

kill it this year. Raising funds for

the Colchester Gateway Clubs, 40

Frisbabes took to Square 3 in

festive attire selling candy canes

and spreading Xmas joy during their

delivery with classic carols. After

raising a total of £542.66 it’s great

to see a Frisbee legacy going from

strength to strength.

London Beginners Indoor

Winter League Champions

2015

On 17 January & 21 March two teams of

freshers took part in the London Indoor

Winter League Beginners Tournament and

we are pleased to tell you that they

came 1st & 4th! Picking up the plate,

victorious Pedro ’Tom’ Pavoux expressed

his honour: “The Blades are going from

strength to strength. We fought hard on

the pitch and I’m proud to take home a

trophy for the Frisbabes… finally!”

Spirit champions UMIR

Now we know we are all well-

versed in our spirits after years

of Feds; however we are now

also the most spirited university

indoor mixed team in the South

East (and by a comfortable

margin too!) Winning 3/4 of their

final-day games the indoor mixed

1sts were beyond pleased to be

able to take home some

glassware!

JC’s final Blades training

JC, a man we’ve all come to know and love

through his years of dedication to UEUF

has landed a new job and will sadly no long-

er be able to coach the squad. I’m sure

you’ll all join us on wishing JC the best of

luck for the future.

First Bladies outdoor team

We’ve had a lot of 1sts in our Essex

History, from our Khazak clash to Bea’s

fruitful bottom but in Feb we finally sent

a women’s team to outdoor regionals. The

girls fought hard & showed great promise.

It’s the start of something beautiful..

Who’s up for a challenge?

Frisbee friends and families, it's time for us all to come together and create

serious change. For the University's 50th anniversary, we want to raise

£2500 for Colchester Gateway Clubs. It sounds like a monster challenge,

right?

Negativo! Just like Man Vs Food, we will tackle this meaty challenge in small

bite-sized chunks.

Enter the 50:50 challenge, 50 people raising 50 pounds each to help provide

educational and artistic opportunities for young adults with autism in our local

area.. Blades, alumni or relative, it’s time for us to do something brilliant for a

worthy cause. Together, we can do this.

Alumni Weekend 2015

Responsibilities? Professionalism? Inhibitions? BEHAVE!

In the words of All Saints, if “you’ve never ever ever ever felt so low” then fear

not as Alumni Weekend is soon upon us!

We’ll be bringing you your standard competitive games where you get to remind the

Blades that we’re more than a legacy… we’re THE originals. On top of our world-

class banter, promiscuity and dance moves there will be a variety of activities to

get involved in including our very own Chinese lantern release and time capsule

celebration for the 50th anniversary, club BBQ and a game of flip cup involving

bathing suits, lubricant and a steep incline….

The theme?

The heaven’s have opened and it’s survival of the fittest as the animals battle it out

for a place on Noah’s Ark! Click through to the Alumni Weekend spreadsheet

to reserve your animal choice. The Blades will then have access to the list to pair

up with an alumni/animal. Once you’ve got your pair, please do get chatting on FB

etc. .to organise your outfits!

Follow the Facebook event for updates and be sure to click attending!
