NOBS News and Entertainment - April 3, 2016

Four pieces of News and Entertainment to share:

No. 1

What is up with the weather?  Thank goodness we still have touch rugby in the dome for four more weeks before hitting the real turf!  We have just found out there will be slight change in the starting times for the dome next week.  Please see the times for the remaining Tuesday and Thursday sessions:

• Tuesday April 5th - Start time is 8:00 finishing at 9:00
• Thursday April 7 – Start time is 8:00 finishing at 9:00
• For Tuesday April 12, 19 and 26 – the same 7:00 to 8:00 slot
• For Thursday April 14, 21 and 28 – the same 7:00 to 8:00 slot

 You may also find that Dome 2 and 3 may no longer be up and functional.  Just go to the dome that is still up (logical).  We know two of them are coming down soon, just not sure when.

The season kickoff will be Sunday May 1st.  It will be a Rugby Ontario “Festival Event” (so if you have not registered for contact by that time you can still play).  The club pays for ORU coverage fee, which provides coverage for that day to any player.  My understanding is this day will involve a number of teams including the GITS and Bruce County! So dust off your boots and please wash your kit for this upcoming event! Details to follow.

Prior to the May 1 season opener there will be a Membership Club Night on Friday April 29th.  Bring along your Annual Membership fee and if you need help signing up for contact we should be able to help you through the process.  It is also an opportunity to reacquaint yourself with your team mates and plan strategy for May 1st – what are the line out calls again?  The event will be at Sherwood club house, starting I believe around 7:00 and ending at 9:00.  But you can stay later - further details to follow.  Mark it on your calendar.

Last but definitely not least.  Bob Nye our resident crooner is performing again at the Niblick ,Wednesday April 13 starting at 7:00.  There were rave reviews from his March 16th performance.  Get out and support Bob, enjoy a pint, and bring a friend.  (Niblink - 1011 Upper Middle Rd E, Oakville, ON L6H 4L3)
