Sender: owner-announce@footbag.org Footbag fans, players, and friends, I'm very proud to announce that the January '97 issue of Footbag World Magazine is available for immediate perusal on-line using your favorite web browser. The URL is: http://worldfootbag.com/magazine/ Please let me know if you find any problems with it. Most of the credit goes to the WFA for putting the paper version together and getting me the disks so I could put it on-line relatively quickly after the publication. Note: the on-line edition contains all of the articles and related artwork and photographs. However, it does not contain the advertisements (many of which you may want to see) or tournament results (since theoretically they're on-line anyway, hah hah). So if you know what's good for you, you'll take this opportunity to order your own subscription to the paper version of the magazine today! Call WFA at 1-800-878-8797. The rate for US subscriptions is $5 for 4 issues. The magazine is currently published bi-annually. If you have a credit card, you can order a subscription on the WFA website (see the bottom of the page listed above). Please help support the only footbag magazine on the planet (that I know of).

I just thought you might like to see what they said... So I quote, without permission, from : FOOTBAG WORLDWIDE Provider: Bay Area Footbag Foundation Acting as the worldwide information source for anything can be daunting, but the Bay Area Footbag Foundation, along with the contributions from its many players, has succeeded in making Footbag Worldwide a clearinghouse for all imaginable, earthly information related to this relatively obscure sport. If you're looking for some cheap kicks, find out how to play this sport that requires next to no equipment; then get tips from the pros (photos, multimedia); then find out about the footbag club (there are zillions) that has sprouted up near you, no matter what time zone or what side of the equator you may be calling from. Overall Rating: **** Content: **** Design: **** Personality: **** I was kinda happy to see this, so I thought I'd share it. For your information, the Bay Area Footbag Foundation (also known as the World-Wide Footbag Foundation) is an incorporated non-profit organization based in Santa Clara, California. I am the president, Julie Symons is the secretary/treasurer (thanks for all your hard work, Julie), and Brent Welch is the vice president. We publish Footbag WorldWide as a free service to the footbag community. Again, that address is .

Sender: owner-announce@footbag.org Hi everyone and especially the eastcosters, because this weekend (1-2 Feb.) is the Hivernal Tournament!!!!!! I don't know if we'll have a lot of kickers but i know we're having a lot of snow, so the tournement will bear it's name. See http://www.footbag.org/events/hivernal-97.html The freestyle won't take place in a bar as mention before, it will be sunday afternoon in the gym. In fact we have a new gym for sunday. It's the "cegep Rosemont", it's much nicer than what we had last year (Pierre Dupuy School). I hope you'll come in great number. See you! Martin Cote Montreal Hivernal organizer p.s. to the Montreal guys out there in sunny California "On s'ennuit de vous autres!!!! Quand est ce que vous revenez? L'hivernal ne sera pas le meme sans vous autres." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case you didn't check the web page or didn't received a flyer, here the way to get here. If you are comiing from out of town and want a place to stay, just go the Friday night (February 1) meeting place at Emmanuel Bouchard's apartment: >From the US (via Hwy 87): After you pass the border, the road name changes to Hwy 15. Take Hwy 132 or 20 east (same road), follow signs for "Pont Jacques Cartier" (bridge), direction Montreal. After the bridge, you'll be on De Lorimier Street. Go up to Sherbrooke Street, turn left and then turn right at St-Andre street. Emmanuel's apartment is at 3948 St-Andre (and if you want, you can visit Anrew Morgan just next door; 3946 St-Andre). >From Ontario: Highway 401 will change to Hwy 40 in Quebec. Once in Montreal (hwy 40 is also known as "autoroute Metropolitain"), take exit St-Laurent/St-Denis. Turn right on St-Laurent, go down to Sherbrooke Street (about 20 blocks), and turn left. Then turn left on St-Andre Street and there you are: 3948 St-Andre. If you get lost just phone Emmanuel at 514-523-8454 or Andrew at 514-528-5101.
