NOBS NEWS: touch this weekend

Just to remind everyone there is touch in Dome 2 starting at 2:00 sharp.  Try and get there 15 minutes before, in case it is unoccupied.  I know this is 6 nations, but by 2:00 the outcome will be evident!

Some have indicated that they are still going to do a Sunday outside run. 

Some of us our soft and will stick to indoor why we can!

Thanks

NOBS News - Sunday TOUCH CANCELLED

Just did a field check and it is still in poor condition. Large areas of ice, water, and snow mixed with some exposed ground that is saturated and half frozen. It is vey uneven and tricky to walk on let alone run. Given the weather forecast of 6-10 mm of rain and high winds, I think it best to pass again this weekend. Hopefully the weather will stabilize a bit for next Sunday.

Thanks
Phil

NOBS News: Touch on Sunday, the Chalice

Given the field conditions over the past few weekends we will do a field check tomorrow to determine if the field is suitable (safe) to run touch.  I will send out a note late Saturday afternoon confirming YES or NO for touch.  So please check your email before heading to Sunday touch.

Just a reminder that Rolf's Chalice is at the clubhouse for donations in Craig's memory.  Any donation will be matched by the Club, so you can double up.  Donations will be going to Carpenter's Hospice in Craig's memory as a giving and generous person.  If you are unable to make it to the clubhouse over the next few weeks just drop me a note and we will make the donation on your behalf and catch up with you later.  

Thanks

Nobs News: Family Day TOUCH

Just a reminder, we have Dome 1 on Monday (Family Day) from 5:00 to 6:00 (courtesy of the Arrows).  This is open to everyone and at no charge! Feel free to bring a friend or family member.

Given conditions last week we were not able to play on Sunday outside :(  - I will take a look at the field tomorrow to see if the same icy conditions exist, so stay tuned whether there is touch on Sunday (safety first). 

Thanks

NOBS News: Touch in the Great Outdoors

I have noticed a remarkable drop off since we have not been in the Dome on Sunday’s.  A couple of pictures to show you how much things change in a week!

NOBS SUNDAY TOUCH ON, and Monday Dome

I heard back from a few, there is a general consensus to get outside on Sunday! So it is on.

Then there is Monday 5-6:00 in the dome.

At least trying to be a fit group for 2019.

NOB NEWS: TOUCH

If you do not already know Mark and the Toronto Arrows are letting us use their DOME time on Monday Jan 28th form 5:00 to 6:00.  I know that the Tuesday and Thursday touch guys know, I just want to make sure everyone knows it is open to ALL - FREE of Charge.  Now there is talk that we should forgo SUNDAY touch for Monday DOME.  I for one am in favour, heretic you say, not really I am just not available this Sunday.  I am not in a position to cancel Sunday if there are hard core player.  But I do want to make sure there are enough Sunday players to make it worthwhile.  If there is a consensus to skip Sunday in lieu of Monday I will get the word out.  

Also on Family Day Feb 18 we also have the DOME from 5:00 to 6:00.  This is again OPEN TO ALL for run around.

Thanks

Well it was an hour none of us will get back, but I do appreciate the turnout, participation, and meat pies (thanks Christina).

Just to recap the outcome, the 2019 Executive is as follows

Phil Gray – President

JP - VP (could not resist!)

Treasurer – the one and only Rolf

Secretary –Tim Ellis

Social – Derek Wiggins

Fixtures – Brian Butler

At Large – Nick Parks

At Large – Rob (I am drawing a blank on last name! Oops – Rob can you pop me an email!)

All of these fine folks are volunteering their time to organize regular touch, contact games and social events.  If you have any suggestions please bring them forward.  There was some good discussion about touring, improving/coordinating for contact, collaboration with the Centaur’s, and how best to use the funds we have accumulated in a responsible way.  All great discussion that we will take up.

I am scheduling our first Executive Meeting on Sunday Feb 10 before touch (11:30) at the clubhouse.    After the first Executive meeting, we will let you know how things are shaping up.

Thanks

Gentlemen,

Nick Manz, through some extensive negotiation, has persuaded John Paisley, owner of the Slye Fox, to show this year's Six Nations.

We need a minimum of 15 people to buy a $100 season ticket. That is another 14, as I am in. Lots of parking, breakfasts are good. Let's go guys!

Phil Gray, could you please forward this to the NOBs general list.

Tim, could you forward to your mailing lists too, including any of last year's social members.

Thanks, get back to me asap, please. We will arrange for eTransfers.

Subject: Sad news - the passing of Trevor Knight

It is with sad news that the Centaurs announce the passing of past club president Trevor Knight. Trevor joined the Centaurs in the mid-70s, having come from Cinderford, England.

 

Trevor was a talented soccer player and had come to Canada to play for a semi-pro team. After he parted ways with soccer, Trevor switched to the sport of Rugby.

 

For the Centaurs, Trevor was a talented player and played in the backs in all positions. He was awarded the Endeavor Shield in 1980 and the Endeavour Cup in 1983.

 

He served as the Rugby clubhouse manager and served as Club president in 1987-1988.

 

Trevor was also a knowledgeable backs coach and through his direction the Centaurs won the Junior Provincial Championship.

 

Trevor worked in Burlington at Fisher Ludlow on Appleby Line before being transferred to Michigan.

 

After a game around the clubhouse you could always find Trevor with a Rye & Coke in his hand and he would be sure to greet you with an “Alight Son”.

 

Trevor you will be missed.

 

Cheers

 

Nick Manz

On another note, my understanding is the Slye Fox will be showing the
6-nations game coming up. I am not sure of the details, so if someone has
them let me know and I will share them with the group. Things start at the
beginning of Feb so there is still time to figure this ot.
