FW: news flash - Jamaicans want more!

Subject: *news flash* - Jamaicans want more!

Looking to work on their slow ball tactics, the Jamaican National 7's team
will be back at Sherwood tonight to once again face the Centaurs.

Rebuffed by a couple of Marshall Premier division clubs (not sure why any
top club wouldn't want to test their mettle against a NACRA side!), the
Jamaicans will take on 4 teams back to back.

The games kick off at 7pm.

NOBS WORLD , AUGUST 13TH Fw: Cricket Sunday August 19th.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Soccer and golf are now out of the way but the action continues this weekend when the NOBS travel down the 401 to Peterborough for the Platinum Oldies on the 18th. If you haven't made your intentions know and are still interested contact Dave Tait at dstait@mac.com From Lawrence of Oakville comes word of the upcoming cricket match this Sunday. As always it will be a fun time.

We have now ordered the new jerseys for everyone who requested one. The cost is $60 and now due. You can either give payment to Rolf Thomas or Craig Morley. To all of you who have prepaid; thank you. In the near future I will post a list of all who requested a NOBS 2012 Anniversary jersey.

Take care, Da Thug

Craig, would you kindly send this note to the general NOBS list. Thank you. Larry

Now that the Olympics are safely out of the way the next iconic sports clash is the reprise of the rivalry between the august gentlemen of the NOBS and the bohemian representatives of THE CHOIR!

When? - next Sunday, 19th August. Where? - at the Sherwood Forest County Cricket Grounds, at 12.30 pm.

All Nobs are invited - including those on the retired list. Skill and experience are irrelevant, unless expressed as guile. Bring the same attitude you had when you were boys in the park.

About the middle of the afternoon we will have the traditional "tea break" - if you feel so inclined bring a plate of cricket-type sandwiches, sausage rolls, etc. If in doubt about the fillings think of the last couple of funerals you attended.

As usual we will adhere to the MCC rules - that is those approved by M(el) C(rossfield) C(ricket).

In the event of inclement weather come anyway and we'll try out the sodas at the bar.

Yrs. etc., Larry

Subject: 4th Annual Dickens Golf Tournament - Tuesday, August 21, 2012

Could you please send this out to the SMD and the NOBS regarding the upcoming Dickens golf tournament.

Gentlemen,

What is summer without getting out on the golf course for a great day of fun in the sun with some drinks served up by your favourite waitresses from the Dickens and local pubs from downtown Burlington.

This is a great golf tournament hosted by our club affiliate The Dickens Pub. The Dickens always looks to outshine the competitors' golf tourny's and they are looking to step it up once again this year and you won't be disappointed.

It's a great afternoon with a chance to win a lot of great prizes. The package includes a Monday, August 20 night registration at the Dickens from 7-10 pm where you pick up your gift bag and a free platter of food and beers for your foursome.

The tournament is on Tuesday, August 21 starting off with a free cocktail and food at 11:00 am. There will be bus transportation arranged for pick-up at the Dickens and also in the north end at Plucker's Crab Shack (located at Walker's and Upper Middle). It's a shotgun tee off at 12:30 with a modified scramble format.

Throughout the course there are several oasis holes with free food and drink samples. After the game the bus transportation will let you drop off your clubs and brings you back to the Dickens for a great prime rib dinner and prizes along with live music by semitone.

In the past prizes for best foursome prizes included big screen HD TV's, I-pads and more. Other prizes include gift bags, beer promos and gift cards for local restaurants.

You don't want to miss out on this tournament. If interested need numbers ASAP. We already have one foursome looking at getting at least two others from the Centaurs / NOBS.

Cheers
