Our first Captains meeting will be next Monday, March 3rd upstairs at the Calgary Curling Club (720 3rd St NW, just off Memorial).

At that time, we will be collecting $350 deposits from all teams. The balance of $450 will be due at the March 31st meeting, as well as the expected $200 fee if you want to play in the Lyalta tournament in June.

In our league, you WILL need a set of bases and a home plate. I can't say off the top of my head what the exact price is, but call Big League Sports and/or Tuxedo Sports to get a quote. You might also try Sports Swap to see if they have any (NOTE!! you need a safety bag at first base, the orange and white one). I will donate to the central team a strike mat and a bunch of used balls. New balls and scorebooks are included in your league fees.

On the lady front, IF any of them want to play on both teams, go for it. As I play in both leagues myself, I know there are no conflicts in schedule/tournaments. Great way to get the most playing time. Like I indicated before, most of our weeknight team also plays in the Kokanee Sunday night team, so I will see YOU all out there Sundays too!!

I can only assume you will take a dive whenever your team plays ours on Sundays?

You don't know me very well then!!!

I might trip, I might stagger, I might even get blown off my feet by a line drive (I am the pitcher)....

... but I DON'T dive!!!

Edit.. ohh wait... if it is a ball that I can catch up the middle, or some other scenario like that... hell yeah, I WILL dive!

Don't know if I can make Pete's tomorrow. Not off work until 7 and it doesn't sound very transit accessible.

I think Rhettzky comes from your neck of the woods...or are you coming from work.

rubecube · 02-25-2008, 03:46 PM

I'll be coming from work (downtown).

If you get there I can give you a lift home. There is a bus that takes you right to that mall thing up there from downtown.

That'll probably work.

Well that's a bit of an issue then, no? If we need to come up with $350 by Tuesday... the central team needs to get together, and fast. Do we want to meet up and watch a game, or...

Yes we should. I'll either make sure I show up at the meeting or pay the person collecting directly before the meeting.

FireFly · 02-25-2008, 06:06 PM

Well if the Captains meeting is Monday, we need to pick a Captain... someone has to collect the money and go to the Captains meeting. If we're going to have a get together, the only away games between now and then are Friday and Saturday, which works better for everyone? I'd prefer Friday personally.

Locke · 02-25-2008, 06:10 PM

Something actually has come up and I may not be able to make it tomorrow.

I'll be a game time decision.

Shawnski · 02-25-2008, 06:17 PM

I am going to be a bit flexible with your group regarding getting the deposit, etc. Yes, you need to get your shinguard in order, but not necessarily by next Monday. Would really appreciate if someone showed up to get the ball rolling though. An extra week to get the rest in order is OK by me.

Well if it comes down to it, I can probably go to the Captains meeting... But I'd still like to meet the team first. We need to get serious about our fun here.

Yes. Tyler has said he is out. Fobby is a spare.

FireFly · 02-25-2008, 07:37 PM

Well we have enough guys anyway... we need some more girls. I might be able to have some spares... but I doubt they'd commit to a season.

Temporary_User · 02-25-2008, 07:56 PM

Just to let you guys know, I'm sitting at about 75% in.
Right now I'm in lethbridge for school, which finishes in April. I will be coming back to Cgy for the summer, but as of right now I don't know where Ill be working, and thus don't know my schedule (probably be a normal day shift schedule this year).
In Cgy, Ill be living in Bridlewood. I have a car, travel shouldn't be an issue (only traffic).
That all said, I bring a lot to the team, and not just the heineken mini kegs Ill be bringing and doing keg stands with

Do we need more girls? I might be able to get a few.. (probably spares).

I *could* make a Friday meet, but my sister might not like me skipping out on her wedding.

Saturday is the only time I can make it.

If Money needs to be had though, just tell me how much, when, who I have to give it to, and where I can meet them.

Kerplunk · 02-26-2008, 12:21 AM

I might be able to do something Saturday, just tell me when and where. I'm out of town Wednesday-Friday.
