NOBS News: TOUCH, SOCIAL & CONTACT GAMES

TOUCH:
Wow, what a turnout yesterday.  Where were all those people in the dead of winter or the wet and rainy Sundays!  Great numbers and a great run.

This week we start our regular outside Tuesday and Thursday Touch.  Start time 6:30.  We are not sure what part of the Field we will be on to start.  Eventually we will be on one of the soccer pitches, but not sure when it will be officially available.  Sunday touch continues as usual.

CONTACT (April 29):
It is that time again to dust of the tackling skills.  The NOBS have entered into the Kris Kraus Tournament this Saturday.  Kick off is 10:00 at the Thompson Rugby Park.  See the attached notice.  I have extended an invitation to the GITS, Hamilton Silverbacks and Centaurs (over 35) to join us on this adventure. 

We need to confirm numbers.  Please respond "YES" to this email (phil.gray@congeco.ca) by mid-week. 

The NOBs are in the process of establishing a "NOBs Contact Rugby" list.  Although we will still continue to communicate through email to the broader group, we want to start up a contact only list to make player confirmation an easier process.  If you want to be on this list let me know. 

Don't forget to register as a contact player using the following link:

If you are registered through another club that works, as long as you register.

CONTACT (May 7th):
Our next contact outing is Sunday May 7th at Sherwood.  This is an "ALL COMERS" event that will be SANCTIONED, so if you have not registered you can play.  If you want to test out the old skills, this is the perfect day to do so.   So you Centaurs or Hamilton Alumni players, a great chance to reunite.  We are expecting  players from the GITS to come for the run.  Please extend this invitation to others who might be interested in Masters Rugby.



SOCIAL:
It was a night of the arts and culture on Saturday night at the Oakville Performing Arts Centre with our Craig Warnock as Fagin in Oliver twist.  A fine production and great night out.  Thanks to David Tait for making the arrangements and Cristina and Nick for the restaurant selection. 

Our membership night Friday also had some familiar faces out.  Please make sure to remit your $120 to Rolf ($25 social)
