Need some help setting up the banquet.
Let's do it up right, with class, and recognize all who have worked to make
our season a success (coach, wives, GFs, Steve, etc.).
Drop me a line if you want to help.
Cheers,

=============
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.
 
=============
 
SOB's!!!
We want you all to chime in, come out, play,
and pass on your years of rugby knowledge.

from Jon Carter:

Hey - I know a few of you live/work in the Arlington & Alexandria area.
Over the past couple of years there has been a real push to develop
Youth & High School rugby in Alexandria.
Alexandria Rugby was recently formed and has been doing some good stuff
to develop the sport and showcase it to youth.

AR has a program set up with O'Connels bar on King St. in Old Town
where they get local Rugby Players and those involved with AR to work a
s doormen on Friday nights from 9pm - 1am...
in return the bar gives a donation to AR for youth rugby.

If anyone in the area is interested in doing this please contact me:

jcarter75@aol.com

Western Suburbs RFC Today

Annual Club Meeting (Dec. 17) Results:
In a nutshell, we dropped verbiage from by-laws to enable some compensation for a coach (if we have to),
we added a director of youth rugby positon (Steve Lough) but we need to draft the amendment to ratify,
Jeff Bush was elected President, Ryan Findley to Treasurer, all other positions the same.
Head coach is vacant and is top priority.
There seemed to be general strong feeling about no pay no play.
Treasury has a strong balance (report given out and Bushy still has extra copies).
