Good news...given the demographics of the players attending last Saturday's practice we have been able to secure new sponsorship from Novartis and their breakthrough Alzheimer's drug Exelon. If you, or someone you love, is suffering, don't suffer alone. We can easily arrange for a ride to practice.
Well, apparently some of you young shavers had a bit too much going on this weekend. I know that Saturday mornings can be hectic, what with all those cartoons on and all. To be fair, it was a bit blowy and you might have caught a nasty chill. That can so easily turn in to an ear infection with you babies.
Anyway, we've arranged another cozy indoor practice for you this Thursday at 9:30pm at Joker's. (Directions below) Please wrap up warm, and make sure you've got your homework done first.
Oh, by the way, you girls were aware that rugby is an outdoor sport, right?

Stop press...new fixture added....April 3rd, away vs. Boston RFC B side....this will be the sideshow to their A side Superleague game against PAC. Sort of like feeding Christians to the lions before the Gladiators come on for the main event. You decide whether you plan to be a Christian or a lion by showing up to practice.
And before anyone says anything, yes, you can be a Christian and a lion at the same time. It was a metaphor. I'm not trying to start a jihad.

Practice this Saturday (3/13) on the Beach at 9:30am. See below for directions. Given the early start the Skipper would like you to refrain from drinking on Friday night....wait...sorry, I am in comic overload here...too many jokes...all coming at once....must stop...please, help me.
OK, I was thinking about something along the lines of the world starting to spin backwards on it's axis. Do I really need to spell it out for you at this point? Well, you see, because you all drink like sailors on shore leave, every night...oh really, never mind.
Sec-dog.

It's been brought to my attention that some of you 'tards can't find the beach. Hopefully you can find the left button on your mouse, and click here.
Good turnout at the beach this Saturday, thanks to all those that showed up to enjoy the sunshine and get sand kicked in their face. Expect an a.m. practice next Saturday. Details to come later in the week.
This Thursday we are on at Joker's for indoor practice @ 9:30 pm. Directions are here. I know this is close to bedtime for a lot of you, so drink lots of coffee (but steer clear of the donuts). I think we are expecting Bates to join us also, so there will be plenty of cannon fodder....oops, no I mean plenty of numbers. Be there. It's gonna go off.

By contrast to the AGM, turnout at last night's pre-season meeting was more akin to a sunny Thursday practice before a home game against Old Gold. It could have been something to do with the energy and vitality being injected by the new exec., or have more to do with the availability of cheap beer....you can decide for yourselves. But, no matter how half-empty or half-full your metaphorical glass might be, the numbers speak well for an encouraging Spring season.
Top of the agenda was our first training session, this Saturday on Higgins Beach at low tide. For those of you not in tune with the lunar cycle that would be right around 3:15pm. The forecast is for overcast skies and temps around 50, so perfect conditions for shaking off those cobwebs. Remember, no matter where the tide might be, you will still get more than a little damp and will get sand in places that no sand should be. So bring a change of clothes, unless of course chafing is something you're in to.
Next week it looks positive that we will begin indoor practice at Joker's on Thursday @ 8pm. That means plenty of Skeeball, and a free slice of cheese pizza and a medium soda for all of you under 12 years old....oh, wait, apparently training is in the big, new indoor arena next door. Oh well, I'm sure they'll let you in the ball pit afterwards if you promise to play nice. Time is money, so be there and ready to go at 8 sharp.
A new fixture has been added for June 5th, against Middlesex Barbarians in Portland. Apparently they're from somewhere in Massachusetts, not England.
On other business, we need to get out there and schlep some advertising for the Maine Collegiate Rugby Championship programs. This is a great fundraiser for the club and for the tournament, so get out there and sell some space. Remember, all donations are tax-deductible, so if any of you are preparing to write a check to the IRS soon, you might want to avoid the same bile-swallowing occurrence next year by writing a check to us now. Download the form for collecting the ads and money by clicking here.
CIPP registrations still need to be completed. For those of you who got too drunk and lost the forms we handed out last night, you can download a nice clean copy here. Like it or loath it, you are required to be registered in order to play for the Eagles, so don't let that be the only thing stopping you from representing your country.
Dues are still due, and for those of you experiencing financial hardship, we urge you to speak with one of our trained credit counselors, who can help you get rid of that high-interest debt, and arrange a manageable monthly payment plan that will allow you to hold your head up high when representing the club. Don't let the burden of how much you owe in dues affect your whole life....call now!
The vacant position of Selector was discussed, and will be addressed and elected at one of the upcoming training sessions. This job requires the vision of a great leader, the objectivity of a judge, the selflessness of a saint, and the thick skin of a contestant on American Idol. All of you who think you are interested in the job should start working on your campaign speeches now.
Lastly, several speeches were given by the Pres, J-Wil and Coach about their hopes and dreams for the season. Without going in to too much detail, the word "comportment" was used by Mr. Pres. and was met with many blank looks. J-Wil has confirmed that even if you have a wife and/or kids, you are still OK, and that he will be switching to decaf. Coach on the other hand will be switching from decaf, and also that he would like to carry a clipboard....or not.
As they said on June 6th 1944, "See you on the beach!", (and don't expect to meet any French people this Saturday either....).
