TGIF

Because that means tomorrow we play rugby. Touch is at the tidal basin pitch at 9:30am. Current forecast: Fun. A chance of showers in the afternoon, but should be overcast and dry while we play.

Saturday, so soon

We’ll play at the tidal basin at 9:30am. Some of our more ambitious regulars will be playing in the Roosters 7s tournament up the road in Potomac, but we should still have plenty of people for a good run, and great weather for it too!

The Roosters tournament is from 12-6 and has various age divisions from middle school on up. If you feel like cheering on some teams and watching 7s rugby after touch, the details are below

While I’m making plugging events, I also want to give heads up for a fundraiser next weekend raising money to send the Beltway 7s to nationals. This supports several of our friends that join us for touch, and all around helps grow and promote the sport of rugby. If you’re around, think about going to the fundraiser. Or donate directly here: https://gofund.me/9d37fa10 I know they appreciate it

Wednesday for winners

We’ll play on the Mall near Smithsonian metro and the carousel at 5:30pm.

It’s been good to see new faces, and fingers crossed we’ll have more guest appearances by friends in the greater rugby community. After a long year of COVID it’s been great to have people, new and old, coming together again to enjoy some touch.

I totally failed to predict the mini-monsoon on Monday, so I don’t want to stick my neck out too far with a weather prediction. As of this writing it should be a warm summer afternoon, but…..I’m still bringing an umbrella.

Midsummer Monday

It should be another warm one, but hopefully some cloud cover to block the sun. We’ll play at the tidal basin at 5:30pm

Apologies to anyone who showed up Saturday and didn’t know we were relocated to Mall due to groundskeeping. Hopefully nothing unexpected pops up tomorrow.

Touch is on the Tidal Basin Monday

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Thanks to everyone who represented DC Touch in the Galaxy Invitational tournament on Saturday. What a strong performance, especially for a social team to learn plays and be under the more stringent rules and refs.

Big congrats to Galaxy for winning the tournament and creating an opportunity to play a tournament.

Most importantly, touch is on Monday at 5:30pm at the tidal basin. See you all there.
