FW:I STAND CORRECTED AND Jersey colours

Hi Craig,

 

Greetings from Bermuda. Thanks for the info. We will send Larry our best wishes tomorrow. We had a visit from Percy Montgomery the other day. He wanted to know where we got our South African jerseys and the other day when we had the yellow shirts everyone thought we were cheering for Australia. We're under a lot of pressure here. When we get back John wants to have an emergency meeting with the Ala-ka-doos (sp) Re the whole colour scheme. He wants you to set that up during one of your many holiday breaks.

 

See you at the club.

 

Derm, John and the bird man of bermuda.

Dear Rugby Friends,

 

As you may know I've been collecting used rugby kit to donate to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, in an effort to promote rugby and help kit up those  less fortunate than us, in Canada.

 

I have sent the last of the kit I had to Jamaica, and I am now collecting again, to send to Cuba at the end of November.

 

Please see attached.

NOBS WORLD NOVEMBER 11TH 2012

Good morning to everyone in the NOBS World, on this first Sunday of our winter mode.  Touch is on today and every Sunday in Burlington at 1pm.  I looks like we will luck out on the weather as they're calling for  a temperature of 17c and sunshine, here near the shores of Lake Ontario.  A good day to get off the couch and work on that fitness.

 

  Tickets are now on sale for the NOBS Awards Night, the last event in our 30th Anniversary year.  It all happens in Burlington on Friday December 7th for the mere cost of $25.  Good food, great fun and as always a rugby sing song.

 

  One last thing, I am going to be making, what I hope, to be the last ordering of jerseys.  A number of people have expressed interest in the green jersey, so I am putting that together now.  Let me know at ctmorley@cogeco.ca.  

 

  See you on the  pitch this afternoon, Da Thug

NOBS WORLD, NOVEMBER 7TH, DAVE BURNETT , EAST / WEST OLDBOYS GAME

Good afternoon rugby fans, all across the NOBS World.   Big event last Sunday at the Cru, with the 4^th annual Dave Burnett, East / West Oldboy’s game.  

  Great turnout of players for the final game on the rugby calendar.  They came from as far east as Peterborough and as far west as Brantford!  The south side of the Cru upper north field was packed with a boisterous crowd, who kept both players and referees on notice.  Under ideal conditions for a rugby game, referee Peter Kijack got things underway.  It was evident from the start that this would be a hard fought battle.  The East had come up short in the first 3 games, with only a tie to show for.  Back and forth the combatants  went; both sides exchanging trys, big hits and big runs.   When the dust had settled on the pitch, the East had come away with their first victory by a 6 to 5 try score. 

  In the clubhouse afterwards, we were honored to have the Burnett family join us as we renamed our East / West game to the Dave Burnett, East West Oldboy’s game.  Many thanks to them for coming out.  The food as always was top drawer; thank you Sue and Jill.  Thanks also to Dave Nelson of the Cru, who not only did a fine job behind the bar, but went above and beyond the call of duty to have the field lined. 

  See you all next year, Da Thug

 

 

FW: LIVE ~ FALL TOURS RUGBY

Mornin All
 
Just received the schedule for the Fall tours as set out below.
 
Now Barry Goldberg seems to think anybody cares, cept the usual suspects.
 
Why would you want to come down to the Clubhouse at 9.30 am
on a Saturday / Sunday and subject yourself to all that reverie and
banter when you can watch the same game on your laptop in the
solitude of your basement some time in January in the early hours of
the morning.
 
I told him but he wouldn't listen and to make it worse he's practically
giving it away.
$50 for a season pass. Sheer madness.
All that work just to break even. I'm really looking forward to
this I can tell you.

From: Jason Leek Subject: pass on please

 

Craig can you pass the following on to the nobs list please.   

 

 

 

 

Gents,    there has been some interest in a tour/ trip to Las Vegas  for the  Las Vegas 7's  on the weekend of Feb 8,9,10   with the possibility of playing a regular old boys game against local opposition on one of the days. 

 

Preliminary investigations look like flight and hotel will be in the $400- 450 range,  3 day tickets to the 7's around $175.   Throw in some meals, transfers to and from airports and we are looking at around $750-850 all in plus spending  if we get sufficient numbers. 

 

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested and I can get the ball rolling.   

 

 

Jason.
