Good morning to everyone across the NOBS World; where ever you are.  AGM is this Sunday; more on that in a bit.

 

Sad news this morning.  Our friend and team mate Barry Goldberg's father, Jerry passed away on Monday January 19^th at the age of 80 in Trenton Ont.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Barry at this time.

 

Last Friday was our Awards Night.  There was the usual high standard sing, song, featuring the likes of Bob Nye, Mel Crossfield, Andy Maunder and Running Bear, and the highly talented Derek Wiggins, who continues to dazzle us with his vast catalogue of rugby songs.   Oh yes; the Awards.  The NOB of the year handed out to the player who over the course of the year has done some bone headed thing to grab the prize.  Who can forget Steve Brooks tackling his own team mate down in Niagara.  We haven't Steve!  John Guilfoyle was all set to take the award, when a last minute submission trumped his screw up.  What was it that John did to be considered.  John is a class act all the way.  He could be only described as a gentlemen.  So; on tour last November in Bermuda while taking in the 7's a heavy rain broke out.  A number of team mates, good friends of his were with him and none had rain gear.  John had a spare rain poncho so who did he give it to?  An enemy of the state!  NOBs hater; Andy Terry.  Oh the shame.

This year's winner was none other than our president Kevin Bloska.  Seems a couple weeks ago after touch there was a problem in the showers.  Please keep your mind out of the gutter.  After playing with the taps, the flow of cold water could not be stopped.  It was decided [Kevin & Rolf] that the tool kit should be produced and the taps taken apart and mended.  The quick thinking Derek Wiggin's jumped up from his spot on the bench and solved the problem by turning off the cold tap!  Well done Kevy.  Another notch on your NOB of the year belt!

 

Rolf Thomas received the Clubman of  the Year.  A well-deserved honour for a man, who has given up so much of his time for this club, not just this season; but his whole time with the NOBS.  Well done Rolf.

 

The AGM is this Sunday in the Centaurs Clubhouse at 3pm; following the touch run around that starts a 1pm.  This is a very important meeting [as they all are], but this year there will be a changing of the guard with all positons open.  Come out and be part of democracy in action.

See you Sunday on the pitch and at the meeting, Da Thug
