We have a plenty in store over the holidays for all of you to enjoy and I hope to see many of you at the various activities that have been planned.

NOBS WORLD, "JOY TO THE WORLD'

 

 

 

Good morning rugby fans, where ever you are on this first day of winter.  The season is all wrapped up and all the awards have been handed out.  Here at the Nobs World headquarters we’ve swept out the lobby of clumps of tape and dirt and tossed all the empty plastic water bottles and old boots in the bin. The lost and found box has been donated to charity and we are now ready for the holidays.  Someone dug out our old tree from under the steps and decorated it up in fine holiday style! 

Plenty of things going on between now and New Years day so let’s get at it.  December 24^th is the Annual Christmas Open House and sing-a-long in the Burlington Centaurs clubhouse.  Things kickoff at 2pm and go until 5pm.  This is a very popular event so get there early. Sunday the 26^th is the Annual Boxing day rumble in Burlington starting at noon and goes on to who knows when.  This is an outdoors, touch event.

  Wednesday the 29^th up in the Centaurs clubhouse at 7:30 pm there is an open mike acoustic jam.  Julian Murray by way of our Rolf Thomas says all are welcome to come out and strut your stuff.

  On Thursday the 30^th there is an open touch session in the dome from 8:30 to 9:30.  There is a cover charge of $10 for the evening. 

  News Years Day is the Annual Gnome Bowl in the dome.  Things kick off at high noon.  The Gnome Ranger has asked that you be out early, dressed and ready to go.  Cost of this event is $5.

  Jack Morrison has announced the Nobbie Burns Night on Saturday January 22^nd to be held this year at the Lions Club in Burlington. 

  Last and not least, let’s not forget the AGM to be held in late January TBA.

  Let’s wrap this up with a joke from our mate in England, Alan Lloyd.  From all of us at Nobs World, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.  Be safe and Joy to the World, Da Thug

  Take it away Alan……

First Christmas Joke Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. 'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' The man from Toronto fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said. 'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said. The man from Mississauga reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.' Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'. The Burlington man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?' The Burlington  man replied, 'These are Carols.' And So The Christmas Season Begins......

Sent to all Centaur members:

 

This is to advice you that effective immediately ALL change rooms are now closed until further notice.

 

The City driven inspections have determined that the 2nd set of rooms are also now contaminated and for health reasons must not be used until the problem is resolved.

 

The city will attempt to expedite the clean up process, however at this time we have no information regarding an estimated time of completion.  The club executive are working with them to hasten the project along.

 

This puts a major crimp in our requirements, there is nothing more we can do about it for now.

 

The downstairs room with the toilets is currently open.

 

Thank you all for your cooperation and please apologize to all our many out of city guests.

TONIGHT'S MEETING

I am assuming that we are meeting at 6pm.  Does anyone have the code to get in the clubhouse?  I am not sure that the one I have is the same as when I had it in the summer. 

FW: Saturday Final Game

Gentlemen, here’s another reminder about the Cup Day Final Game this Saturday in Markham.  Jason Currie has asked that we be ready to kickoff for 10:30 to ensure we have lots of time to get up to the Square.  We will be departing from the Centaurs clubhouse in Burlington at 9am sharp.  If you show up 10 or 15 minutes late we will have departed.

NOBS WORLD, NOVEMBER 1ST.

Good evening rugby fans, from the Nobs World Headquarters.  There is lots going on this Cup Week.  Both the Cru and the Centaurs are playing this weekend at the Square on Saturday while the Nobs are just to the south, playing in Markham in the Oldboys Cup Day game at 10:30am.  That's right; 10:30 AM!!  Lots of time to get a game in with your mates, have a beer and some grub, then scoot on up to the Square, only minutes away and cheer on you're favourite team.  We will be car pooling from Burlington, leaving at 9am.   I have received word from the Centaurs that there is a bus leaving from Burlington to travel up to the Square.  Departure times are yet to be determined.  Pretty sure the Cru will doing the same.  I have been asked to pass on a public service announcement about touch on Sundays.  We have booked the artificial turf next to the dome to use over the winter.  There is a cost involved that we are required to pay.  For all of us who come out each Sunday it is $5.  In the big scheme of things it is less than a beer, but for some reason people still try to duck out on it.   Like our old Emperor For Life would say, please pay and sleep easy!!  Last thing for now; you probably have heard this from Rolf, the fall internationals get under way this Saturday with 3 games on tap in Burlington.  So you've got no reason to stay home this weekend and collect dust, big day for rugby this Saturday.  Oh yes, touch is on this Sunday and every Sunday till May.  Put that fiver away and bring it out to play!!!  See ya some time over the weekend, Da Thug

SHHHHH......IT'S A SECRET

Good evening, lad's and lassies.  You're all invited to a birthday party; but it's a secret.  Loose lips, sink ships, so keep it buttoned.  On Saturday November 20th; Diane Burnett and family are inviting all of you to Dave's "70th" birthday party.  The event gets underway at the clubhouse of the Burlington Centaurs at 7pm.  As this is meant to be a surprise, Diane would like us all to be there by 6:45pm.   Of course if you can't be there for the surprise [hope the old Gnome doesn't have a heart attack] drop in over the course of the evening.  It's a cash bar, and please, no presents.  There will be food and music, so come one, come all.   Can't attend but would like to send birthday greetings to Dave?  Send it to us here at Nob's World and we will pass it along.  Da Thug

P.S.  Wondering how Dave won't get this?  Our media Guru Eric has dropped Dave from the list and tomorrow he will return, none the wiser. 

NOBS WORLD OCTOBER 29TH

Good morning rugby fans in the wide, wild, world of Nobs.  Lots going on this weekend and over the next 2 weeks of our season.  Lets talk first about has happened over the last week.  I know that Halloween is around the corner and it can be frightening; maybe scary is the word I am looking for.  You don’t need it to be Halloween to be scary!  Last Sunday the ugly side of rugby revealed its face.  Mr Dave Burnett; better Gnown as the Super Gnome stomped on one of the Muddy York.  Oh the shame!  Saner heads stepped in to remove Dave from the fray but the deed was done and the referee [rightly so] awarded the penalty.  Must have been bad mushrooms for breakfast.  It was a dark day for all of rugby.  They game itself was full of action, big hits, lots of trys and somehow the referee said we won!?   Wednesday night it was our annual fixture with the Staff College.  The usual stuff; they tell us we before the game that this is their first match of the year, only 8 experienced rugby players and three women officers, who if we didn’t mind could they treated like red shorts players.  I warned our lads it was all a military ruse to get us to let our guard down.  So what happens?  Within a few minutes they were running and tackling all over the pitch scoring the games first try.  Sound familiar?  The Nobs counter attacked, bolstered by young blood from the Cru and Centaurs.  The battle was on!   When the dust had settled and the injured carted off we had won the day.  Our opponents, always the diplomats and good sports were already looking forward to the return match in the spring after they have spent the winter planning their tactics, fine tuning their attack.  Can’t wait till May! 

  This weekend we have no oldboys fixture planned but the Burlington Centaurs have invited us to join them on Sunday for a inter squad game, where the teams will be a combination of senior men and oldboys mixed together.  I have been told this will be a “Friendly”.  Is there any such thing in rugby?  Touch will also be run at the same time at 1pm.  Next Saturday it is Cup Day.  The game will be held in Markham with a 10:30am kickoff, giving everyone a chance to get a game in and then up to the Square for the Cup games.  The week after on November 14^th we have the 3^rd annual East / West game at the Cru; with a 1pm kickoff.  Lot’s do for everyone, see you Sunday, Da Thug

Re: This weekend

Please note that there will also be Touch Rugby available for those who wish to play, at the same time as the contact game (i.e. 1pm).

Further to the conversations last evening, we can now confirm the the Centaurs would really like to play a very friendly mixed team of contact with the NOBS this Sunday 1.00 at Sherwood.  Their game has again been cancelled this week and they want to keep the troops together for some decent exercise.

 

An invitation to All NOBS  and the rest of the world to come out and we will mix the teams to balance them out and we should get a good game of rugby for all.  It should be a lot of fun and set the scene for the last 3 weeks of the Old Boy's season.

Talking of chestnuts anybody found any good conkers this year.

To the MARS Sydney Team and Other Concerned Friends:

Hope everyone has made it home safely from the Golden Oldies Festival and other side trips and doing their best to return to a normal life. Like me, I am sure, it is not quite normal...as our comrade Denny Steffy remains in the Acute Spinal Ward at the Prince of Wales Hospital.

Tim Kauffman - who is friend of Denny's in Lancaster (PA)  and also a physical therapist - has been in touch with Denny regularly as well as with the hospital. Denny has appointed Tim as his "legal contact" for updates from the hospital on his condition.

First off, Denny's 60th birthday is Oct. 22. It would be great if everyone sent him birthday card/wishes via email or mail.

You can send an email to him via Kate Lindberg (Social Worker) at: Kate.Lindberg@SESIAHS.HEALTH.NSW.GOV.AU or send a card to him as follows:

Prince of Wales Public Hospital
Barker Street
Randwick, New South Wales 2031
Australia
Attn: Dennis Steffy, Patient, Acute Spinal Ward

Tim and I are in touch regularly and I will pass along updates from Tim accordingly. Currently, I am only sending updates to our Sydney team and others who are fully aware of what happened to Denny and have shown concern (and whose email addresses I have*).  Once he returns home and the financial impact of this accident including subsequent is more fully understood, I will be issuing information on how people can help out.

* If anyone wants me to add an email address to the list you see...please let me know.

Tim spoke with Denny on Sunday night and advised:
"His spirits are good. He rode a bike in PT on Monday I do not know how much assistance he needed. He said he can hold the phone in his left hand a little. He also asked that his physio contact me which she did. She said that Denny is working on a transfer from bed to wheelchair – I assume. He heeds 2 people to assist him. Denny told me that the rehab folks had him upright on a tilt board. These are all promising."

Tim also advised me that Denny's spinal cord was not completely severed which is good. He has feeling and movement in both legs and both arms. Too soon to tell what this all means.

I spoke with him twice before we left Australia last Wednesday. His spirit to get through this difficult challenge is strong. He appreciates the care and concern he's been getting from many people who he doesn't know. A number of local Sydney rugby people have been visiting him regularly including Allan Forno, the Festival Director.

His friend Gary Creamer (Lancaster) will fly out to be with him about a week or so before he is permitted to return to the US for further care. When and how this will happen is not yet known.

I would like to extend the thanks and appreciation to all of you that have been there for Denny these past 3 weeks.

With you.

HAPPY TRAFALGAR DAY, CHILEAN MINERS, MARKHAM RECAP AND MORE

Good afternoon rugby fans and to all of you celebrating Admiral Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar!  {What; you didn’t know it is today’s date?]  It is on this day we turn a blind eye to all of those who would get in our way and charge on.  Forget about him you say and get on with happen on the field at Markham.  First let’s talk about this weekends events and the up coming Staff College fixture.  Touch is under way in Burlington on the out door artificial field, Sunday’s at 1pm until next April.  The cost is $5 to cover the rental of the field.  A bargain at twice the price.  There is a game in Burlington against the Muddy York, come on out and finally get that side step in.  Kickoff is 1pm.  This coming Wednesday, the 27^th we are playing the Staff College at the Crusaders Park in Oakville; kickoff is 6:30 pm.  Please be early to get things under way on time.  So what happened in Markham?  The home side quickly jumped into the lead on a beautiful, sun swept October afternoon.  The Nobs continued to struggle into the second 20 minutes of the game when an injury forced a tactical change, moving Mr. Bloska into the front row.  Things began to change with Kevy leading from the front lines inspiring heads to be held high again and resume the charge.  Our Man of the Match, Steve Brooks started running like a mad man.  He tackled with no regard for his safety.  Others soon followed.  Clarence Brown and Reg Trodd continually tracked down their backs in the open field heading for our try line.  Although we came out on the short end of the score, we made a game of it.  Well done to all of you who made the trip last Sunday.  So I know your wondering “Chilean Miners?”  As we were getting ready to head out from the change room to start the game we noticed one of our stalwart players who only the day before had emailed me that he would see us in Markham, was not to be found.  I became alarmed and started asking around.  Was traffic bad?  Did I give out the wrong date and time?  No one knew, when suddenly one of our lads [who will remain unnamed] piped up; Pablo’s off playing the sympathy card, passing himself as a Chilean miner survivor!  Pablo, have you no shame?  Did it work?  See on the pitch, Da Thug
