I’ve got a ball, and I’ve got the cones (some of them at least).  All you have to do is show up.  See everyone tomorrow at 9:00 at the 17th and Constitution pitch. 

Hi Guys,

Looks like we should be good to go.  We’ll be at 15th and Constitution (White House side) at 6:00.  Someone bring a ball, and if someone’s got the cones, be sure to bring those too. 

Again, the only hitch for today is the potential for rain.  I’ll send out a blast later if I think we should cancel.  Obviously I can’t predict how things might turn out, but if it looks crappy at 5:00 I’m probably going to cancel.  If there’s no word from me, we’re still on.

For my part, I’ll probably be a bit late because I have a meeting late in the day. 

See you guys out there. 

Hey Guys,

Let me know if you’re in for rugby tomorrow.  There’s a good chance it’s going to pour, so I may have to cancel.  If the rains hold off though, it’ll be great to get out there.  Saturday was so long ago…

Also, I’m not sure if this issue was resolved, but it seems that James left a pair of blue boots on the pitch on Saturday.  If you’ve got them, please let him (and me) know.  He’s at 2026895118.

Hey Folks,

Summer officially begins tomorrow and in keeping with tradition we’ll be playing at 9:00am on Saturdays for the next few months.  I know some of you might be thinking that this is absolutely ludicrous.  My response is the same as my old rugby coach’s:  “Stop whining…”  

Should be good conditions tomorrow, but bring an umbrella just in case.

I’ll see everyone at the normal Saturday pitch (17th and Constitution) at 9:00.

Hey Guys,

We’ve got numbers.  Lets play at the 15th and Constitution side.  Softball is in full swing (he he he…) so it’s probably best that we secure a spot early and just get playing.  I’ll see everyone at 6:00

The forecast says its going to be 99 degrees tomorrow.  I’m not sure about you, but there’s little else that inspires me to want to play rugby than suffocating heat.  Let me know if you’re in. 

See everyone tomorrow. Someone bring a ball…

Hey Guys,

With the tournament on, I think a few people may not be around for our typical Saturday game so I wanted to send out a survey to see if we have numbers.

If you’re interesting in playing tomorrow at 9:30, let me know.  Weather looks to be nice, though the ground may be a bit soggy if it rains today. 

Hi Guys,

There seems to be good interest to play today so rugby is on.  The hourly forecast looks like the rain should hold off until about 8:00PM so you guys should be good to go.  Still, there’s a decent chance it’ll rain so be mindful of that.  If you guys change your minds as the day progresses, respond to this post.  For now, we’re on.

I think you guys should meet at the 15th and Constitution spot, not the usual 17th and Constitution field where we ordinarily play on Saturdays.  Softball is really ramping up so it’s probably worth it to secure a definite spot than to try to compete with them (though, given the chance for rain it may be less populated tonight–something to consider when you guys head out).  I’m out for today, but hopefully I’ll be able to make Saturday. 

Hey Guys,

Let me know if you’re in for rugby tomorrow.

Also, I’ve polled many of you and it seems tournament interest is pretty low.  We don’t have enough to field our own squad.  However, if you were keen on playing, the tournament organizers would still love to have you come out.  They’ll assign you to a team when you arrive.  And don’t worry, you’ll definitely play a lot. It’s a pretty long day of rugby so each team could use as many bodies as they can get.  Here are the tournament details again below for those who are interested:
