Hillier Gardens by camera

By Anton Piatek, on November 21st, 2008%

Last weekend I decided to go to Hiller Gardens, primarily because the had a photography exhibition which I knew some friends from work had entered photos into. I was generally impressed with the photos, though some of the entries should have been vetted as there were way too may photos of bluebells…

While there I paid my fee, and wandered around the gardens with my camera – Heres a few of the photos I took

These first 3 are infra-red shots…

Ultuimate officially recognised as a sport in the UK

By Anton Piatek, on November 21st, 2008%

UK’s newest sport | UK Ultimate

UK Ultimate is delighted to announce that on 10th November 2008 confirmation was received that Ultimate has been officially “recognised” by UK Sport and the home country Sports Councils: Sport England, sportscotland, Sports Council Wales and Sport Northern Ireland.

The main reason I had heard before that it hadn’t been accepted is because the sport explicitly doesn’t have referees – the game is refereed by all the players together, acting in “the Spirit of the Game”

Perhaps most of all it is worth stopping to consider that this milestone also means official acceptance of, and support for, self-refereeing and the Spirit of the Game.

It is interesting to see that the lack of referees didn’t actually stop it being accepted
