NOBS News: Seasonal Update

We had a good game of touch on Sunday with some Christmas goodies, including Craig Morley’s shortbread!  Craig made an appearance, while the shortbread disappeared. 

The holidays are upon us so there are a few dates you might want to keep in mind to work off some of the Holiday Cheer!

Starting with the DOME:

• This week, Tuesday and Thursday is as usual.  
• Next Week on Thursday December 28 the dome is “open”  from 6 to 8:30.  This is open time for ALL to come for run around.  Just show up!
• There is also the annual gnome bowl at New Years,  Sunday Dec. 31 - 11:30 –3pm, this is an all comers event.

Outside:

• Christmas Eve is Sunday.  So we will start touch at 12:00 to accommodate family events and club events on the day.
• On Boxing Day, Tuesday the 26th we are planning a 12:00 touch game outside (not dome)

Have a happy and safe time over the holidays, Ho Ho Ho

NOBs News: Touch LEAGUE (URGENT)

For those that are playing touch LEAGUE after the holidays please let Ryan know your commitment.  

(ryan@hamiltonmillers.com).  We need to put in a $500 deposit so will be looking for money to secure a spot.

If you are out Thursday night you can catch up with Ryan then, but he would like to get a list together with contact info ASAP.

For those wanting to play regular Nobs Touch (not League), let Rolf know.  He will be looking for $150 for the 17 weeks.

NOBS News: Pub Night/ Jerseys / Touch League / AGM

Thanks to Derek for organizing a relaxing a social pub night out on Friday.  It was a good turnout of NOBs, Ravi's Sri Lankan entourage, and then some regular Centaur folks.  An enjoyable evening.

 

My goodness, never has an email I have sent provided so much response.  Obviously, the NOBS group is stylish and care about what they wear….. The jerseys are being first ordered so they are available for the Fort Lauderdale Rugby event.  Once that is settled we will open up ordering to individuals who want there own kit.  This won't be until after the holidays.  So far it looks like style 4 is the preferred, and the most slimming design.

 

NOBS Touch – Touch continues up to the holidays Tues / Thurs.  I need to confirm what is happening over the holidays and will communicate once I do.

 

Touch League – The league will continue after the holidays as well, a new session starts up.  Our friend Ryan Hamilton-Miller is going to lead the charge on this.  If you want to play then please drop him an email at ryan@hamiltonmillers.com.  Or talk to him on Thursday.  The NOBs club will not be subsidizing the team, but is supportive!

 

AGM – Our AGM is scheduled for Sunday January the 14th it will happen after touch.  Please let me know if you are interesting in taking on a more active role next year. 

 

Thanks

Phil

It is this Friday the 8th 7:30. I guess my email yesterday relied on the reader seeing the previous communication.

NOBs News: New Kit

It has been a number of years since the NOBS have seen some new kit.  Nick Manz has done some work to change this and has been working wiIth Carlsberg for some sponsorship.  The new kit will look great for the annual Florida trip.  There are 4 designs in play at this point.  General feedback has been either 3 or 4.  Always like to hear feedback and witty comments, so take a look and comment away.  Your comments may be taken into consideration….or not!   I am looking for a jersey which we can wear all the time whether opposition is light or dark, that way only one design is required.  

The new kit will be “modern” fabric and fit, so sizes will not be what you are use to.  We will have some equivalent jerseys next Thursday at touch to get sizes sorted out so we don’t end up with a reasonable size profile.  I believe there will be opportunity to purchase your own kit, but details are still to be worked out.

Thanks to Nick for his work on this.
