You may remember that a few weeks back we asked you all to bring any rugby gear that you could donate to help out the Serge Betsen Academy in Cameroon. A number of you donated and Olivier coordinated the collection and sending.

Last week we received a thank you email from Serge himself!

Serge’s email:

“Dear rugby friends,

I wanted to thank you for your support. I was touch by your involvement to give all this rugby gear.

I’m pleased to see that my vision to help others match with yours
I hope to grow that with you in the future.

Thank you to help me to keep our rugby values up to date
And I hope to see at the end of August when I’ll be in the country

Merci

Serge BETSEN

Looks like another cloudy day tomorrow but pretty low chances for rain. I look forward to seeing you all out there. 6:00 pm.

P.S. Bring the cones. You know who you are.

Going to be great weather tomorrow. Maybe even some sunshine! See you out there at 9:30am.

Looks like the rain chances for tomorrow are going to stay pretty low. See you out there at 6:oo pm!

Looks like we will finally have a break in the rain. Come on out and play some touch rugby with us. 9:30. See you there.

Weather looks good for the evening of Wednesday, May 4. See you all out there at 6:00 pm.

Hey everyone, looks like the weather should be cool and cloudy tomorrow. Pretty much perfect for rugby. See you out there at 9:30 am!

P.S. great first day of weekday morning rugby today. If there are others who missed out and would like to join please just comment on here or talk with James or Cody about it at the next touch session. A summer full of rugby is starting to shape up and look pretty good. Lets keep it up!

Looks like rain again today. Only four people showed up on Saturday during a little rain, so we are canceling for today.

P.S. If you are interested in morning rugby, respond to the previous post and we will add you to the email chain.

See you all Friday and/or Saturday (weather permitting).

Have you been wishing that you could get in a bit of touch rugby on a weekday morning? Do you think that one of the best ways to get in a bit of fitness and hardly realize you’re doing it is through a good bit of touch rugby?

Then you might be in luck. We are tentatively considering starting up some morning rugby. First we would like to check on interest level and see how many people would be willing to actually show up at 6:30 or 7:00 am and play for about an hour. Tuesdays and Fridays have been suggested but if anyone has a really good rationale for a different morning we are definitely interested in hearing it.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED: please comment on this post. From your comment we will compile a list of people who are interested in morning touch and use an email chain or a text group as the main means of communication. Also in your comment please indicate if you are up for one morning a week or two and which day/s you prefer.

If there is enough interest we are looking to start this Friday, April 29th.
