Training - 4/6

Fox Street still has ducks on it, so for one last time we'll be practice at the Gorham Sports Center this Wednesday, 9pm to 10:30pm. This is also our last practice before Amoskeag, so if you have any intention of playing, you'd better get yourself along there.

Weather permitting we'll be practicing outside next week, at a much more sociable hour, so watch this space for more info. on that.

Saturday's game has been confirmed at the Cumberland Fairgrounds, which is roughly in this vicinity. Below are some more detailed directions:

Cumberland Fairgrounds

From Portland and north off 295 / I-95:
Take 295 North out of Portland
Take Exit 10 (Falmouth)
Bear right off the Exit towards Rt. 9
At the light, take a right on Rt. 9
Bear left at the fork (this keeps you on Rt. 9)
Go for about 5 miles until you come to the blinking light in Cumberland Center.
Take a left on Blanchard Road. (the road is called blanchard to the left, and tuttle to the right).
Go about a mile on Blanchard.
Cumberland Fairgrounds is on the left.
Go in the entrance, and all the way to the back.
From the South of Portland (I-95 / Maine Turnpike):
Take I-95 North to 495 North (Same road if you take no exits)
Take Exit 53 (which is 1/4 mile past exit 9, it comes up quick).
Go Left after the toll booth (Rt. 100 / 26).
Travel approximately 4.7 miles on this road.
At ~4.7 miles you will see a convenience store on your left.
On your right across from the store there is a sign for the Cumberland Fairgrounds, Take this Right (Range Rd.)
Take the 2nd left (Bruce Hill Rd. - the road sort of looks like a fork at this 2nd left).
The fairgrounds are ~1 mile down on the left. Take this (the first) entrance.
As an alternative take exit 44 off I-95N to 295 North into Portland. Then follow the 1st set of direct above.
It's a little longer but maybe easier to follow.
*NO DOGS ALLOWED!

Thanks to Portland Ultimate for those directions. I always knew those frisbee stoners would come in handy. While you're at it you might want to check out their comprehensive directions to just about anywhere that we may play or practice. No, on second thoughts, I don't want you reading any of that gay stuff. I need you all to stay repressed and aggressive. Stay tunded for times for Saturday's match.
