NOBS News - DOME UPDATE - Act Now.

DOME INFORMATION – We need to get our numbers so need you to respond.

The Dome times are set.

Tuesday October 17th – DOME #1 between 7-8 (1/2 dome) - COST = $75 for the Fall Session – Please remit fee to ROLF 

Thursday October 19th – DOME#1

-  6-7 Open time for touch; COST = $75 for the Fall 

-  Touch League (NOBS teams); COST = $150 for the Fall (the $150 includes the open time between 6-7)

I have heard from a number of players already confirm participation of Tuesday and Thursdays.  Please let me or ROLF know your commitment, if not already.   

Please be specific on Thursday if you are in for the $75 or $150 so we can get the NOBS teams entered.  As I mentioned before we are looking to enter 2, maybe 3 teams in the League and to make up the teams each week.  The FALL league will not be an A level (like last year after Christmas).  Also you do not need need to be a NOBs member to be on the NOBs team….we welcome all strips.

Thanks   

Phil

NOBS News: DOME Info...

DOME Information

There has been some considerable back and forth on the Dome times again this year.  The good news there is a Tuesday 7-8 session for the fall period (Oct through Dec).  On Thursday’s there has been progress on getting our old time back from BYSC, however, it is still problematic.  For Thursday’s there is 6-7 time slot which we determined would limit the number of players able to make the 6 o’clock start.  At 7-8:30 the Centaurs are outsourcing the Touch, as they did last winter, to Canada Touch League.  

For the Fall period, the NOBS are looking to enter 2-3 teams (20 to 30) to play in the league.  The concept is to change the teams every week based on the players that show up, to change things up each week.  The Fall session will not be as competitive as what you may have seen last year.  I think if we have a good mix we can have a good run and be challenged while still having a good time.  What we need is a head count ASAP so we can set the DOME fees.  The DOME will start I believe the 2nd week in October so don’t delay.  Our focus on Thursday will be to participate in the League, but the 6-7 slot is still available for touch as the club (Centaurs and NOBS) are being essentially forced into taking the hour to keep the 7-8:30 time slot.

Please let me and/or Rolf know if you are signing up for Tuesday’s and/or the Thursday Touch.  If you have any questions I will be around the club this Thursday and on Sunday.

Thanks

FW: With great sadness we announce the passing of Cye Beechey

Subject: With great sadness we announce the passing of Cye Beechey

It is with great sadness that the Burlington Centaurs announce the passing of one of the greatest Centaurs of all time.

 

Following a diagnosis of a very aggressive cancer two months ago, Cye Beechey passed away last evening in peace alongside Maysie.

 

He was a rugby legend that shaped not only our club but also the sport of rugby in Burlington.

 

He was a mentor, a father figure, a coach, a club President and a Lifetime Member.

 

He was the embodiment of our club slogan “Friends through Rugby…Friends through Life”.  Everyone loved Uncle Cye.

 

And Cye loved the club and all of the players throughout the years.

 

Just recently he asked “ How did the boys do on Saturday?” He was told they won the game handedly, Cye raised a triumphant fist into the air “YES! Tell them to keep it up!”

 

He will forever live in our hearts.

 

A Celebration of Life will be announced to honour this Rugby Legend.

 

 

 

Nick Manz

Club President

NOBs News: GITS Game and Upcoming fixtures.

 

GIT/Saracens - 80 minutes of rugby was a bit more than expected but a good effort with some fine back play and some good defending (at times).  Thank you all for the turn out, we had 18 players out giving some of us a bit of a breather as we did 4 x 20 min against 2-sides.  One unfortunate injury was Denis who went off with a torn bicep injury, which is requiring surgery.  As an old boy game it was a bit more spirited than usual, from both sides.  But in the end, a good day out.

 

Our next contact game is in HAMILTON, Saturday October 14 @2:00 against the GITS.  This is a sanctioned event.

 

We are also working on scheduling a game with Chambray's on October 18 or 25^th, we just need to confirm a pitch.  The game will be local to Burlington, ideally the lighted soccer pitch if Barry can work his magic and we put 25 cents in the light meter.

 

Finally, October 21 we are working on a game at Fletcher's (McCormick Cup Day) for a season topper which will be an all-comers event. 

 

We will share details once we confirm things. 

 

Just a reminder Tuesday and Thursday touch to start at 6:30

 

Thanks

Phil

Nobs News: Saturday Game Update

I have just been told that the game on Saturday will be Sanctioned. Do for those not insured you are able to play. 

Also Please see the note below about post game activities:

"Don't forget to spread the word that I've booked a band at The Linsmore Tavern, 1298 Danforth (& Greenwood), which would be great if the Nobs (and friends) came out for! Starts at 9, after drinks and food at the Kilt (2046 Danforth & Woodbine) right after the game."

Thanks. Phil
