GROUNDHOG DAY / AGM SUNDAY FEBRUARY 2ND

 

Is just me; or do Americans have problems with the spelling of the English language. [No offence to our American readers] This Sunday is Groundhog day, when the NOB emerges from the pub and sees his shadow and realizes he still has 6 more minutes of drinking time. 

 

On the same day, by mere coincidence, we have our AGM at 3pm in the Centaurs Clubhouse at Sherwood Forest Park.  You’ll get to hear the same questions over and over with the same results.  Come on out and have your say in our future plans.

The best of european test rugby is set to begin February 1st as the 6 Nations tournament kicks off with Wales hosting Italy followed by France vs England.

Sherwood Forest Park is once again the place to come see all the action live. Don't hide in the basement with the curtains drawn hoping the internet police don't raid your pirate feed. Come down to the club and cheer openly and proudly for your team.

Admission will once again be $20 for the Saturday games. This money goes directly to Premium Sports who hold the North American rights to broadcast the games. But we have again been able to negotiate a 75% reduction for the Sunday games which will be offered only to Saturday ticket holders who are club members

We are also pleased to announce that Tim Hortons will once again be supplying the coffee.........and new this year, breakfast wraps. Proceeds from sales will go to our Junior rugby programs. Thanks Dermot !

See you on Sunday, Da Thug

SUPER BOWL TIME!!!!!!!   The teams are set: Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks. Will Peyton Manning continue his lacklustre performance in playoffs, cementing his place ONLY as the best "regular season quarterback of all time"?! Will someone finally punch the Seahawks' Richard Sherman in the face for being the sorest winner of the year?!  Come on out to the Cru to find out! This year with snow on the ground things will start off with the annual Snow Bowl Game as the chilli warms up on the stove and the older, less capable athletes, will argue about how many times they can buy in to the poker game in order to beat one of the Rileys (my money is on Romy winning).     When   SUNDAY FEB. 2, 2014 From 2pm to whenever!   Where   CRU Clubhouse     Snow bowl kick off at 3 pm, poker deal starts when enough players have thrown in enough money!       This will be a sanctioned 4th team event.     Cost: $5/person. This will cover the cost of food and snacks (provided by Ryan, Spencer and Scott...remember, Nick McKay is not allowed near the chilli). Once we've recovered our costs for food, the rest of the "profit" will be spent on pitchers for the group   Forward this email STAY CONNECTED

FW: NOBS WORLD JANUARY 24TH . BRAVE HEART, BRAVE MEN, BURNS RUN

 

You’ve got to admit; for 255 years old, he’s looking good.

 

This Sunday, January  26^th at 1pm, Brave Men, with Brave Hearts will take to the frozen tundra of Sherwood Forest for our Robbie Burns Run.  The faint of heart need not apply as winter will test the intestinal fortitude of the participants.  The past month, the NOBS Sunday touch players [sounds like a theater group] have braved everything  Mother Nature has thrown at them.  Wearing every imaginable piece of winter gear, they take the field Sunday after Sunday. 

 

Between now and Sunday we are expecting more snow and cold.  Sunday 1pm is calling for -11c, a sun/cloud mix, with winds out of the southwest at 28km.  Perfect. 

 

Following this true test of character, we will retire to the warm and friendly confines of the Centaurs Clubhouse for roast turkey, potatoes, vegetables, gravy and of course Haggis!   Whether or not you take part in the run; all NOBS are invited down to join us.  Food will be served between 2:30 and 3pm.  Don’t be alarmed by the packaging dates, our wee beastie is freshly made.

 

Below is an email from one of our regular readers; Sue Morrison.  We would love to extend an invitation for Sue to come and join us on the touch line Sunday, for say; 10 minutes, and she will never again question our testosterone.  LOL.  Just kidding Sue.

 

See you on Sunday, Da Thug

I scoff too, as suggested the Emperor would.  You fellows are either getting old or soft.  I recall days when, in full regalia – toques, balaclavas, plastic bags around your feet, gloves, scarves and whatever shielded you from the cold – you guys would put your life and limb at risk on the frozen snow/ice surface, ignoring bone chilling wind just to prove you still had what it takes to go out and play with the boys.  Whatever happened to testosterone?

NOBS WORLD JANUARY 18TH 2014 "ARTIFICIAL TURF UPDATE"

The past month has been hard on Sunday touch run a rounds.  Mother Nature has not smiled on us; but when the NOBS get served up lemons; we make lemonade, and play on.  The Emperor would scoff at us to hear us go on about the playing surface's.  In the old days, in the park at the bottom of his road, we would play on ice, snow, frozen tundra, pools of water surrounded in mud, even the odd blizzard like days, all in the name of fitness!!  Times have changed and we are now a softer bunch, spoiled by the artificial turf. 

 

   Yesterday we sent out one of our NOBS World reporters on a fact finding mission to check out the playing surfaces.  Pleased to say, it looks like we will be back on the turf tomorrow.  Even the rugby pitch is playable!  Have a look yourself and see you Sunday, Da Thug
