Ultimate Frisbee - Wednesdays and Sundays

Oddly enough... we're talking via PM about a game on Sunday. 2pm suit you guys? And Tomansino, no idea what you're talking about, but we generally play a loose, easy game. We don't keep score until the last few points. Beginners very welcome.

I may well be up for this. Need to shed a few pounds piled on over winter (bloody long winter this year so lots of pounds to shed)

oh yay ultimate! so i've yet to actually be able to make one of your games... so let's hope the weather and work schedule are permitting this weekend

Okay, let's run with this.

Sunday, 2pm, Giselastrasse venue

We play a friendly game of Ultimate, absolute beginners welcome although it does help if you can at least recognise the shape of a frisbee/disc. Start out with a general throw about, you'll be able to see us as there are generally lots of discs in the air. After a half hour or so of that, we move into a scratch game - tending not to keep score until the last few points. After that we wander along to a beer garden for a helles or two and some food.

If it's raining lightly I'll still be there. If it's raining heavily I probably won't. To get to where we play, exit Giselastrasse U6 at the NORTH end and walk towards the gardens past the fielmann opticians. Keep in that direction, cross over at the traffic lights and walk into the park. We play on the LHS of the road, on the way towards the lake. Often you can recognise us by the bright yellow cones, but I'm not sure if they'll be making an appearance this weekend.

PM me for my mobile number if you want...

most importantly, please post here if you're coming to let me guage numbers

I'm down... pencil me in.

I am there and will also say that Jayhay will be as well. He is skiing at the moment and may not be accessible to a computer.

I'll likely be there.

This is where we play when we say Giselastrasse. Generally we go to the Chinese Tower beer garden afterwards.

long as the weather isn't super rainy and neither of us have to work Tenique and i will be there (so 50-75% chance)

note- both of us suck. we do know what a frisbee looks like and what one is supposed to do w/ it, but neither of us can really do anything w/ it.

That's no problem. You're very welcome, but please bring some iths w/ you.

@ben-
huh? sorry what do you want us to bring? i can bring a frisbee, a dog or two, some kids, food,... sorry no clue what "iths" is

it was an exhausted Friday afternoon attempt at humour. Sorry, I'll not bother again.

[w/ + ith = with]

I understood.

hehe okay!

brokenm, you are officially smarter than me... i was wondering for a full 30 seconds what an "ith" was and how it was funny before i gave up

i'll probably come provided the weather is ok. unless the weather is incredibly, fantastically good in which case there is a 20% chance of skydiving.

I'll be there tomorrow if the weather plays along - can't wait!

(Don't forget about the clock changes tonight)

Not sure what's going to happen with the rain - a mixture of forecasts suggest that it will either peter out at some point or keep going. They all agree that we're going to get up to a barmy 15 degrees C today though... hopefully see you there!

... and 20 degrees for tomorrow! Incredible.
I will defo be there, brokenm too. And one51 has never been put off yet ...

Looking at www.wetteronline.de the radar pictures look like it will lighten and stop between 2-3pm.

and right on cue the rain has stopped! See you there in a bit...

I will be a few minutes late... since the clock change has delayed my going-to-bed schedule (5am). At least it means I was able to get the first U-Bahn back from a friend's party--haha!

Excellent game today!
I'm exhausted, but it was great fun

11 people - I'm amazed! Great game guys - let's try and do the same next week.

Hi. I'm new to Toytown, but have lived in Munich for 8 months now. I just logged on and learned that you all play Ultimate. Yeah! I played Ultimate for fun in Venice, FL for about 3 years and have miss the game immensely. I am definitely looking forward to playing again. Count me in for your next game.

Excellent game everyone, nice to be playing again.

@hezamarie, welcome to Toytown.

We just started the season today actually. During peak season (May - Sept) we almost always play both Wednesdays and Sundays. But since temps can still vary quite a bit this time of year, its best if you just check this thread to see if a game is being organized. If the weather plays nicely, I think we're shooting for next Sunday, so April 2nd.

See ya out there!

11.5 people ... don't forget Asher

Dude! Totally jealous.

It's 21 degrees outside ... insane
Any else tempted for a bit of a throwaround this evening?

What do people think about tomorrow? We're looking at about 6-8 degrees, rain off and on all day. Shall we just play it by ear?

Looks like it might clear up by six if you believe http://theyr.net/cg/cny/I1bc928/F=js*v*041...4*DE*de_Munchen

Not sure if I can make it myself - lots of work on this week, don't fancy my chances of leaving early.

I'm up for frisbee, be it ultimate or just a throwaround any night this week (I need my fix). The weather forecast looks grim though - like it will rain from now until the end of the world. Still, at least things have defrosted.

Anyone up for a bit of frisbee tonight?
There's only a slight chance of rain I see.

I'm playing it by ear... we'll see how things look at the end of the day. I'm still sore from Sunday, too...

Need to get in shape!

I'm up for throwing the frisbee around tonight...

I need the practice and a break from the computer.

Hmm. Work is going well and I've been at it since quite early... my arm could be twisted. See what the weather's doing this afternoon.

Ditto that ...

I think I'll be out in the Engl. Gardens nr. Giselastr. (unless it's really raining) as usual around 17-17:30 depending on how much work I can stand. I'll have my bright orange frisbee with me.

I see some sun and blue sky over Munich right now... looking better than this morning.

have fun guys! i'd love to join you but i work until 1800. and i work all weekend. i seriously want to join you some day soon
@mrbrain- dont worry- you're prob way more in shape than i am! (regarding your comment about being sore still)

Looks like the rain's going to pass by north of Munich, hurrah.
My god, since I started playing frisbee I've spent hours in advance checking these radar pictures.

Still undecided here. Lots of work still to do, but I have a feeling it will keep till tomorrow... how many do we have coming?

I'm on the fence, but leaning towards going...

Sod it. I'll work when I get back. See you there at 5:30 folks.

I am there...
when and where?

Sorry found my answers above :-)

Won't be going, got a bunch of after work scheisse to do.

Try to use dem winds to your advantage!

Excellent news - will be there around 5:30!
And if it does rain ... well that's what the beer garden is for.

As I was preparing to leave for the day the phone just went off the hook...
Good news of course, but now I can't leave for a bit. I'll try to make it but not sure if the sun will stay up long enough!

Did you guys have a good run?
Still at work...

Yeup - it was great thanks! We even had a crack at disc juggling...

I'm glad I didn't loose an eye or precious body part from those flying geese missiles...
Hope to be there Sunday!

Weather's looking ok for Sunday, and the timing seemed to work pretty well last week. Let's say Sunday, 2pm at the Giselestrasse venue. DW's threatened to bring down his new portable hole for a quick disc golf session after we've cooled down in the Chinese Tower.

Beginners welcome, post here if you're going to come down so I can get an idea of numbers. PM if you want a phone number, I'll try to remember the thing.

I'm there with a plus one!
