Western Suburbs RFC Today

CLUB DRINK-UP!
We are planning a quiet get together for this coming Saturday December 15th and
we would like to extend an invitation to ALL club members past and present,
young and old. However, leave the wives, girlfriends, kids and pets at home.
We will be meeting at the Reston Town Center in the bar at Rio Grande at 8 PM.
Now, I do not want to call this a Pub Crawl but we will be visiting all the bars
(or as many as we can get into) at the town center.
Keeping with the time of the season, the uniform of the day will be
Hawaiian shirt, short pants and Santa hat.
Plan on a taxi ride home or stay at the hotel at the Town Center.
We did this several years ago after a club member's bachelor party
and had a very memorable time.

=============

Annual Club business meeting is scheduled for Monday Dec. 17th at 7pm.
at the Firehouse Grill in Fairfax.
Any topics the club members would like to be addressed please send
an email to Prez Steve Lough at slough@microsft.com.

SATURDAY MORNING BUGGER!
EVERY SATURDAY AT THE ***"PANZER PITCH"*** AT ***11:00 AM***.
Directions:
The map below describes a soccer-sized field near Fred J. Panzer's house.
These directions are a little easier to understand:
1. from Centreville, take Rt. 28 South to Rt. 29 North.
2. take a right on Pickwick Road (at O'Toole's Restaurant).
3. Go straight thru light over Braddock Road.
4. Continue thru a neighborhood -- you'll now be on Little Rocky Run Circle.
5. at stop sign go straight.
6. take immediate right into community center parking lot (or better yet, park
along the road).
7. follow pavement footpath at far end of parking lot thru woods until get to
New Braddock Road.
8. You want to walk across New Braddock Road (you can hear the traffic from the
rec center parking lot) and head to your right a little.
Look for a trail in the grass (NOT a pavement footpath) along the tree line that
leads to the pitch, which is located under those high powe r lin e s.
It's about a quarter-mile walk. The walk and playing Frogger with the traffic is
a part of the whole practice experience.
9. This is an HOA field and we need to respect the community.

=============

IF YOU HAVEN'T PAID YOUR DUES IN FULL, COUGH UP THE CASH!!!
Dues are $120 ($60 if you are new to rugby)

=============

from Lee Coogle concerning Old Boys "Golden Oldies" tournament:
I am currently taking names for interest in WARTS tour to the Golden Oldies tournament
in Edinburgh, Sept 2008.
We need to get 15 signed up (just a $20 deposit to cover the entry fee) so I can enter
the team and get the tournament information. Poltroons already have two teams entered!

Some administrative notes:
1. if you need real-time info, always check the message board (http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/forum.php?forumid=111697) and the "what's new" sections
of the team website at www.rugbyfootball.com.
2. if you can't get access to the message board, email Kermit at rugbykermit@earthlink.net

3. DO NOT send emails to this address (wsrfc@comcast.net) if you need immediate information because it is not monitored on a regular basis.
