Fwd: IMPORTANT SUNDAY UPDATE

Good morning to everyone on this chilly last Friday in February; -16c.  I have been asked to let everyone know that this Sunday, touch has been moved to 12pm to tie in with the Ireland vs. England, 6 Nations tussle.  We are expecting a balmy -7c for Sunday's run.  See you on Sunday, Da Thug

 

Fwd: NOBs 2015 Ft. Lauderdale "IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES.

Good afternoon to everyone across the NOBS WORLD.  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times last Sunday in the NOBS WORLD.  Some of us were up to our shins in the snow, while others were playing rugby in the Florida sun,in Ft. Lauderdale.  Our reporter in the field, Barry Goldberg said it wasn't all sun and fun as in the early part of their trip they were wearing light jackets and jeans.  Okay, okay; what about the rugby?  The NOBS went into the tournament as defending champions.  First up was everyone's favourite, the Virginia Reds.  The NOBS held the lead late in the game, only to see a late, long try by the opposition to drop the fixture.  Next up was Eastern Ontario squad the Myths and Legends, a longtime foe.  For the second year in a row the NOBS were victorious.  

On the second day of games, two of the teams in the tournament dropped out.  It was decided that the Reds would be given the championship!!  Not even a playoff.  It had to be a Russian official that favoured the Reds.   We'll get em next year.  Many thanks to our photographer and reporter John Guilfoyle for the team photo.

Touch this Sunday, were expecting a heat wave.  Don't forget 6 Nations games this weekend.  Double header Saturday and England, Ireland, Sunday at 10 am.   See you Sunday, Da Thug

Good morning to everyone across the NOBS World; where ever you are.  As you can see, winter has set in at the World Headquarters, leaving the building to look like a Hudson's Bay outpost.  Having said that; we received word from Neil Alexander, somewhere near Dog River Saskatchewan scoffing at us for cancelling last Sundays touch saying that with that kind of weather they are pulling out the lawn chairs and barbeques.  Well I say, good for them!

 

Touch is back on this Sunday, as we expecting a balmy -5c, with a cloudy, sun mix.

 

Spring can't be too far off, as the NOBS make their annual trip to Ft. Lauderdale this coming weekend.  This year there will be a target on their back as they return as the defending division champions.  Go get em, boys!!

 

Now a little something new for our NOBS newsletter.  Starting this week and into the future, our newsletter will be coming out on Wednesday.  What it means now, is that there is a noon cutoff date on Wednesday if you wish to have something included in our weekly report.  Of course; from time to time there will be late breaking news, that requires us to send out something, like last week when touch was cancelled. 

 

Some Dome news for those of you who play Thursdays.  We will be in the dome,#2, Thursdays at 7pm, until the end of March.  Starting April 2^nd we will be in dome#1.  I am being told that tentatively we will be starting at 8pm.  Not sure what the last week is, but we will be playing at least the first 4 Thursdays.  I will get final word on the starting times and our last week.  At this time, I have received no word on the Tuesday plans.  Stay tuned.

 

I am sure most of you have noticed we did not have league play in the dome this year on Thursdays.  We will be holding a year end tournament on the last 2 weeks of the season.  Week 1 will see us divide into 4 squads and play 3 games, as is our usual format.  Scores will be kept and at the end of the evening we will determine the playoffs for the last week.  In week two, two games will be played simultaneously to start the evening with 1^st vs 4^th and 2^nd vs 3^rd.  The losing teams will square off first, using the full field, each team gets 6 touches of the ball before turning it over, either by kicking it away or being touched.  After that it will be the Championship game featuring, the two remaining squads.  As we get closer to the event we will send out the laws for the full field games.  Remember gang; be nice. 

 

Talk is underway about going to the Golden Oldies in Cardiff Wales, August 21^st to 28^th 2016.  I know a number of people have already expressed interest going, but if you would like to add your name to the list contact Craig Morley at camorley09@gmail.com  . 

 

Ok, one last thing.  It's time to cash in your bets on where our Jimmy [who is on holiday in Spain] would catch the 6 Nations games.  For those of you who took the generous odds of 5 to 1 it would be anywhere but an Irish pub; sorry.  The house cleaned up on this one.

 

That's it.  See on the pitch Sunday, Da Thug

Good afternoon on this cold February afternoon; the day before Valentine's Day.   Why not bring down your favourite someone tomorrow to the Centaurs Clubhouse for a 6 Nations double  header with England hosting Italy at 9:30am and at noon France and Ireland from Aviva Stadium.  Coffee from Horton's.  The perfect Valentine rendezvous, that she or he will be talking about for years!

 

I have been asked to let everyone know that touch has be cancelled for this Sunday in anticipation of -20c temperatures, with a possible -32c wind chill.  Now there is a silver lining to this cancellation; Sunday morning at 10am, the 6 Nations clash from Murrayfield, will see Scotland hosting Wales, and another opportunity to get out of the house.  Come on down. 

 

Have a happy and safe Valentine's Day, Da Thug

Subject: NOBS WORLD FEBRUARY 2ND  AGM/ 6 NATIONS/ FT. LAUDERDALE

Good afternoon to everyone in the NOBS World.  Happy Ground Hog Day; the day the NOB sticks his head out the pub door to discover it's still winter!

 

The NOBS AGM was held back on Sunday, January 25^th.  For the first time in memory, we had an election for president!  When the dust had settled, our new president was Chuck Schandl.  Vice president: Dave Tait.  Secretary: Kevin Bloska.  Treasurer: Rolf Thomas.  Fixtures: Tim Ellis.  Members at large, Mike Howes and Derick Wiggins.  Well done to all of them.

 

I have a new boss here at the NOBS World headquarters.  I asked Mr. Bloska if I was to be kept on and after some thought he said, "You can continue on for now, but at a pay level lower."  You get paid for this?

 

Word has reached us here that the  6 Nations begins this Friday and the games will be shown in the Centaurs Clubhouse.  You can go to the Centaurs web page for a complete schedule.  No idea of the cost, but when we know, we will pass it on.  Let's hope we see none of this, this year.

 

Plans are full steam ahead for the upcoming tour to Ft Lauderdale, but Tim Ellis said there are still some spots open.  If your interested contact Tim Ellis at timothy.ellis@sympatico.ca

 

That's it; touch is still on Sundays.  The recent snow should make things interesting.  See outside, Da Thug
