Ultimate frisbee
The frisbee craze began on college campuses in the ’60s and is best described as netball with a flying disc. Teams of seven try to pass the disc up the pitch (as in netball, you can’t run with it) and into the American football-style end-zone. Drop it or miss it, and possession passes to the opposition. The scene is based around Clapham and Wandsworth commons, home to European champions Clapham Ultimate and where there’s a London Winter League. There’s also an indoor competition. With teams springing up all over the capital, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and the UK Ultimate Association website has a directory.

wagwan oi can i use this pic cause me teacher makin us do sumthin with body poppin safe yh
Why not go to the original painting gig at Westbourne Studios in Notting Hill.They do recycled canvases for £30 and it is a way cooler venue. www.fig108.com
£40 is steep and makes me think it might only attract city types, etc (who I'm not necessarily interested in meeting). The materials can't cost much more than a fiver so I'd be expecting a lobster dinner for my money.
I agree with Marcus - I'd love a go at this but it's far too expensive... I would maybe fork out 25 quid.
good idea but so exspensive. can we people not organise something this simple with a smaller price? paintjam at your house!
