The GITS are ready to go with a bus booked for the trip with 18 guys confirmed.  So they are looking for 6-10 players, but you need to commit ASAP to Ray (rayhopkin@gmail.com)

NOBs News: DOME, Oct 22 Game, EAST/WEST Oct 30

A couple of notes and reminders:
  1. Just a reminder that DOME sign up is tomorrow night ~7:30 to 9:00.  Come for 6:30 (or earlier) for a game of outside touch before going indoors for the winter.  $75 for the Fall session for Tuesday, and another $75 for Thursday.  If you can’t make it, but want to sign up please email Rolf directly (rolfthomas@live.com).
  2. The EAST/WEST game is on Sunday OCT 30 @ 1:00 in Hamilton.  We need to get a head count for this game.  It will be "festival game” so insurance is covered.  Let me know YES if you are playing.  
  3. We are also thinking of trying to get one more game in up at Fletcher’s on Saturday OCT 22 ~10:00ish (cup day).  But we need to know how many are interested.  This will be an all comers event.  Let me know YES, if interested.  I need to know ASAP on this.
  4. Tentatively ,we have scheduled the Chambry game for on Wednesday, NOV 2. More details to follow.
Thanks,
Phil

NOBS News: Club Night, DOME SIGN UP - Thursday October 13

Although we have not seen snow, the days are getting shorter and our legs are getting weaker…So it is that time of year for the DOME! 

As in past years, there will be a Fall and Winter Session with Tuesday and Thursday nights. At this time this is what we know, the “Rugby Club” has the dome on Thursday from 6:30 to 9:00 and we have on Tuesdays between 7:00 and 8:00, so the schedule is as follows…

 

Fall

Tuesday               7:00 to 8:00 NOBs - starting October 25 (To be confirmed):  Fee $75

Thursday              6:30 to 7:30 NOBs, Rugby club to 9:00 - starting October 27 (To be confirmed):  Fee $75

 

Winter

Tuesday               Times and Fee TBD

Thursday              Times and Fee TBD

 

Unfortunately, we have not been able to confirm times for the New Year.  That said, to participate you need to sign up with Rolf, our gate keeper to the DOME.  Rolf will need your $$ and email address.  As in past years, first priority will be given to past participants.

 

To facilitate the sign up, we will be having a “club night” on Thursday October 13th starting around 7:30.  Between 7:30 and 9:00 Rolf will collect your Fees and Email.  Even if you aren’t Doming it this year, come out for a little social time.  If you can’t make it that night, make sure you email Rolf (rolfthomas@live.com) about your interest.  Again, past players will be given preference, but only for so long.  If you come around 6:30 you can catch and game of outside touch! 

  

Thanks

Phil
