NOBS NEWS: Update, Dome, Contact, Social

I have a been a little remise in communicating the latest and greatest, been a busy few weeks!.

A quick recap on the GITS game two weeks ago.  The GITS were ready to play and took it to us.  Although we were on the losing end (in a big way) it was a good game where both sides enjoyed the game and with good plying time.  It was hot so we called it a bit short of full time to retire to the bar.   This game represented the first one where the “THUG” trophy was awarded to the winning site.  Ray (GITS) wanted to honour the contribution of our Craig Morley (The THUG) for his contribution in getting the GITS up and going and his longterm involvement with the NOBs.  The THUG will be awarded to the winning team every time the GITS and NOBs face off.  The Trophy is proudly displayed in the cabinet at the clubhouse.  This is what the game is all about!

TOUCH Update – Giving the changing light we are going for a 6:00 start for the next couple of weeks.  On Thursday’s we will be on the main pitch.  

DOME TOUCH – We have not been successful getting suitable DOME times.  I won’t get into the details as it will not change the outcome.  Nick Parks has been busy organizing DOME time for the 4:00 to 5:00 slot for both Tuesday and Thursday.  I know this does not work so well for the working class.  It is possible for “drop-ins” to participate if you find yourself around the house in the afternoon and a few bucks in your pocket.  The Tues and Thurs. sessions ( 4.00 - 5.00 ) start on October 16th in DOME 2 and Oct 18th in DOME 2, respectively.  Nick is collecting $$ now.  We continue to look at other options to get everyone out at one time.  Sunday @1:00 continues outside.

CONACT Games – 

I have been asked about the Chambray game and Tim is still trying to get a good date that works with getting the field.  I am hoping next week we will be able to settle on a date.  It will be a mid week game, 

Saturday Oct 20th @11:00 Buffalo – We have a game scheduled in Buffalo.  We have had some of there players come and support the NOBs, so it is time we join them for a game.  The game is scheduled for 11:00 because they have a slate of games afterwards.   For this to happen we need committed players. So the drum beating begins.  So who is in??  I need names so we can get a roster together.  Non-NOBs are more than welcome to join the adventure.    

Friday November 30 – Year End Social.  We have booked a venue for a year-end/christmas social at the Atrium at the Burlington Conference centre (Burloak).  This is a dress up affair so an opportunity to look better than we usually do!  More to come.
