There will be Pub Social evening on Friday 26th October at the Queen's Head Pub in Burlington, commencing at 7:30pm. 

Partners are welcome, the pub has food available, pool & darts, and there may be a live band playing too.

We had a great turnout for the last social evening in July, so hope to see you there.

PLUS:

There is a formal NOBs dinner/dance event at the Atrium in Burlington on the evening of Friday 30th November, so please mark this in your diary.

Nobs News: Chambray Ref Update

Heard back already... and We have a ref! Thanks to those that took action, much appreciated.  Right know we are ~ 4-5 players short so don't hesitate to confirm your availability. 
Thanks

NOBS NEWS: Chambray Update - CONFIRMED OCT 17

The game is confirmed.  for Wednesday evening (Oct 17) under the lights.   The field is located in Tansley Woods Park (Burlington).  Access to the park is off of Walkers Line just south of Upper Middle Road via Kilmer Drive.  At the end of Kilmer is a parking lot and a baseball field, the pitch is just a bit west if you follow the path.  We have the field from 7:00 to 9:00.  So plan on getting to the park for 6:15 at the latest so we can get going before 7:00.  We will go back to the club house for showers and food.  
I have heard from some, but I expect others to come out of the woodwork.  I would like to have a better idea on numbers (food planning).  My understanding is Chambray have 13, so we will need to lend them a few for a full 15 a side.  So dust off the boots. 
Big ask - Looking for a qualified referee for the game.  If you know a ref or know someone who knows someone that knows a ref - you get the point.  Let me know.  Don't assume someone else is taking care of it because they are not, hence the ask.  Get the word out for a ref and get them to email me (phil.gray@cogeco.ca) we pay going rate. 
The other ask - post pads - who has a truck that can get the pads and bring them to the field?  For lines we will need to make do with the low pylons to mark the field, as I doubt there are lines. 
We need your help on ref and/or post pads.  Games just don't happen, they take a little effort.  
Thanks
Phil
PS - Regarding Oct 20 for Buffalo - at this point we do not have enough committed to make a side (or part of a side).  Unless something changes in the next 24 hours, then it won't happen.  I keep hearing people want games, but hard to arrange games when we can't reliably count on having players.  This is something we need to look at next year.

NOBS NEWS: Chambray

Just heard that this Wednesday Oct 17 is the Chambray fixture. Not a lot of notice but that is the way it is! Spread the word ASAP. At this moment the game will be played at a Tansley Woods field (grass) at Uppermiddle and Walkers. Time is to be confirmed.

We need to get players confirmed so spread the word. We will provide details so keep watching for updates.

Also, Oct 20 Buffalo - 5-6 confirmed does not make a team! Unless we can get up to 15 then we will need to pull the plug on Monday. I need to know on Monday.

Thanks
Phil

Nobs News: October 20 Contact Game - Buffalo

I have heard from a few confirming they are available for October 20 @11:00 KO in Buffalo - but not enough to make up a side.  So if you have been slow to respond, the time is now.  This is not just a Nobs game, but a classic Canada vs USA game! Ok, over dramatic but still will be good fun.

So if there are GITS or Hamilton Players looking for a game on the 20th, let me know by October 12th.  Share the email with others.
Thanks
