Fwd: Ottawa Over 50's

Good afternoon to everyone in the NOBS World, on this Thanksgiving day 2014.  Hope everyone is having a pleasant day.  Dave Tait has sent along an email from Peter Maitland letting everyone know that there is an over 50's game in Ottawa this coming Sunday, October 19th. Peter can be found at petermaitland@primus.ca. 

 Tomorrow evening is the start of the Tuesday Dome sessions, running from 7pm to 8pm.  Now a few things for everyone who will be in the Dome, either Tuesday or Thursday.  We have to be ready to go for 7pm.  We have only one hour, so let's not waste time.  Please bring a white and dark t-shirt.  This is very important.  Footwear.  I have been reminded that only running shoes or molded cleats are acceptable.  Studded cleats can not be used.  

I will send out a complete list of our Dome laws, but some very important things to keep in mind. Any ball that goes to ground is a turnover.  There is no live ball.  No kicking is permitted.  The runner must return to the point of touch,  and defenders must retreat 6 feet.  When a touch is made within 6 feet of the goal line, the ball can be played from the point of touch, but it must go back 6ft, before it can be taken over the goal line.  There seemed to be some confusion last year, in that some people thought the ball had to go back 6 feet, before it could be advanced.  If the ball does not go back 6 feet and is taken over the goal line it will result in a turnover.  

Remember we are playing touch.  We will be employing a yellow card system this year, more on this in the near future.  It's not the World Cup, let's have fun.  

Don't forget this coming Sunday, game in Toronto, at 1 PM; at East York Collegiate. 

See you under the dome, Da Thug

Subject: Fwd: Ottawa Over 50's

Hi Craig,
I have heard from Peter Maitland of the Ottawa Senators regarding and over 50's tournament in Ottawa on Sunday the 19th of October. He is wondering if there are any over 50's who might be interested in a weekend in Ottawa with a game thrown in.  
I am away until Monday so could you send out an epistle and let the boys know, so that we can give Peter and idea ASAP.
