I will be engaging in intense training all weekend. I will not, however, be able to make the trip from Cincinnati to Richmond for practice to do so. While I am now in full-training with my team here as our side is preparing for our play-off run this spring, it will not be rugby practice which I will be attending. The weekend in question will be dedicated to another type of training altogether. I will be in New Orleans with a Mardi Gras "crew" for one of the parade floats. The training I receive there will be especially useful during Spring Break at Ft.Lauderdale.

Reminder and request that everyone please respond to this call for practice on sunday Feb 22nd.

Here's the deal. You have only two choices. Reply that you "can't wait to be at training" or forward creative albeit lame excuse for begging off.

If we do not hear from you, you will be expected to supply all your mates with beer,perform all the driving chores,purchase power bars, and haul water at the Beach.

Directions etc are published at our tour website

Respectfully,
Cary

Gents,

Here are the pairings ; over 35's

bracket 1; wilmington rfc, barfs, manhattan presidentsXV

bracket 2; tobacco rd legends, feces, buffallo

bracket 3;white plains, caribean rum runners, albany knicks

bracket 4; junior virginia cardinals, philly, st. lambert locks

over 45's

bracket 1, senior virginia cardinals, lauderdale silver knights, niagra old boys

bracket 2; ORBS, FOBS, older tobacco rd legends

there it is, in order to win in the over 35's you need to win 4 games, or was it 5, whatever, you need to win plenty and we will have a cup, plate and toilet bowl, so lots of hardware to go round.

The 45 is a little simpler 2 game winners from each bracket faceoff for cup next day, one game winners will faceoff next day for plate 2 game losers on first day will probably play late first eve for toilet bowl or maybe a boat race, you get the picture.

A few questions have popped up recently and i have touched on some of them already, but to recap; We are not interested to see who can put together the best allstar team for the finals, we want all teams to stay as close to their roster as possible, adding only for genuine injuries or guys who unbelievably must leave early(gimme a freakin break) Old boy play is becoming a big deal and serious to many teams abd competitors and we are taking the lead in trying to "firm up" rosters and keep teams intact throughout the competition. this is the only fair way to play it especially for those clubs who are better organized and come strong every year. so do your recriuting BEFORE you get here and play what you brung. many guys(myself included) have played for 3 or 4 of the teams coming to the tournament, pick a team and stay there, they lose, you lose. simple as that All of you know what age div you are entered in, what kind of guy gets a rush out of beating a guy maybe 15-20 years older than him?? keep the young guys out, dont make me check ID's and i better not see guys who arent shaving yet. we can all have fun if everyone does the right thing, isnt that a novel idea??

We have 46 teams total so the games are all day both days with no breaks, come ready to play, couple of guys are late etc, no problem youll have to pick up a couple, they will be lurking around as usual and in that case uuse who is available.

The capts party is fri night at the Parrott and the tournamnet party is downtown at the downtowner restaurant which is in the new riverwlak area which is boiling with people every weekend, should be fun for all, you may even get lucky.

Boca raton in the 35 div is short players, the lauderdale 35 guys will team up with them to fill out the team but any of you over 45 teams have some youngsters who want in bring them along to fill out the boca squad which will now be ft bocadale

Is anyone interested in golfing in Ft. Lauderdale on 2/27/04 ?

Won't be able to make it. (insecure about my ability to compete with all of you) Out of town (heading up to Frederick) and busy training hard (alternating sets of 4 pushups and 4 sit ups twice a day) , eating right (McDonalds happy meal's) , resting (out of work), and studying past mistakes (this could take the rest of the year) and philosophical position (where do I stand in a line out?).

Make my jersey a Medium then. Also, if Barney is 5'-9" (and he's the Barney I know from Norfolk) Then I'm 6'-7" VG

On the advice of Barney (who is really around 5' 0" and 300 lbs) I guess I will need to switch my size back to XL. If you can't change the order, do not worry about it

Darin "Barney" Darden informs me from experience that our jerseys tend to run large. As an example, Barney is around 200 lbs about 5'9" and he is ordering a "L."

So--please review our jersey order at:

http://www.richmondrugby.net/ftl_jersey.html

Reply to make a change asap.

Some random notes:

Bill Russell,former 7's eagle,Old Blue stalward, and National Coach,may be able to join us. His wife is due that week-so lets all pray that his lovely wife goes into labor on monday mar 1st and delivers a healthy beautiful talented future rugby player.

Have not heard from The Hammer,Steve Flynn.

Talk to us crafty one,Al Caravelli

Massive Lock Forward,Brian Cross,--chime in!

The Murcurial,Greg Aherns,--ya still onboard?

Jon Campbell,The Legend, has sent his regrets but will be in Miami for business---a premonition says Jon will show.

We are entertaining the possibility of a training session in Virginia mid feb on a sunday followed by hospitality. Realize we are far flung but are hopeful we can get ,at least, 75% to attend from the 35's and 45's--so we are looking at around a 30 man turn out--more to follow.

Also, we are arranging for a training session in Florida on friday 27 feb at 4pm--we realize some of us will be enroute and unable to attend but please make plans accordingly with all practicality.

rugby always,
Cary

From Darin Darden

I mailed my check 2271 for $ 50 to you.

We have the same P3 15 type of jerseys in Norfolk as the new VA. Cardinal jerseys and they run big. Porter and I changed our size with Christina(Matt's assistant) at Godek today. She said to call her if you want to change your size.

The responsibility of preparing our youth to become productive citizens is just too great for Chris,my wife, to take time away from teaching school. Either that or I want to raise hell unencumbered by husbandly duties and ogle at bikini clad ladies without catching hell. Present the message of your choice to your spouses when asked why Chris isn't coming with me.

"I'm ready to go"

Cary,

I am not flying down until late Friday night. I'll be more than happy to help out on selection with Chris and Bill etc. Sorry I can't help with the practice on Friday, but depending on what time we play, maybe Saturday morning we could have a team meeting/walk through. Anyway I'm excited about going, just hope I can stay healthy from now until then. (and during the weekend)

Cary- did some checking online. this is the flight we are taking, please circulate among team. We will stay with friend. delta had flights leaving earlier that were $202 from richmond. coming back sunday evening seems to be a big problem and early mon is filling fast. air trans from newpt nws is $212.

www.expedia.com Click this link if you would like to create a similar itinerary.

Hey John,

should be zero or a little refund if we get 25 deposits. Our team costs are 25 jersies x $38 for $950 and tourney fee of $250 for total team budget of $1200. 25 deposits x $50 for $1250 in revenue. So,theory says we will have $50 surplus--yahoo!--lets buy beer.

Cary: Happy New Year! Things are looking good for Lauderdale. I went there for Xmas, then down to Key West for a few days. I worked out in the "heat", man, does it take the starch out of you if you are not used to the hot weather! I am planning to book a flight this week. I found one that fits my travel time, it leaves at 5pm Friday and returns early Monday morning. My brother will "launder" the ticket money for me. I plan to stay with my frat brother, so lodging is not an issue.

Cheers!
Will

good evening Rugby Friends,

It is 7 weeks to Ruggerfest. We order our jerseys this week in order to guarantee delivery before our departure south. I have sizes and numbers assigned to players below in the roster notes. Please contact me for any corrections.

Kathleen and I will be staying at the Coral Ridge Inn,(of late the Holiday Inn Express) in Ft. Lauderdale phone 954 566 4301/friendly rates $88/night. We will have a hospitality at our room early friday evening for all the players and entourage and retire to the beach for dinner and hospitality. If I do not see ya at my room to issue your jersey, see ya Sat morning at Tradewinds Park. We have more recommended options with accomadations listed at our tour site. It would be advantageous if we concentrated at our three recommended hotel sites to help with transport to the Park and keep the social atmosphere intact.

Also, group airfare rates are too high. It is to your advantage to arrange for your airfare on an individual basis. Rate will steadily increase as the fixture approaches--do it now and save. Round trip out of Dulles/ US Air is at $220 but do not expect the price to stay there.

http://www.richmondrugby.net/ftl.html

At risk of sounding like a storm trooping prick, your jersey will not be issued until that pesky tour deposit is tendered. Go to our tour site for details on how to pay your deposit. Respectfully submitted.

Wheels Brewington--our Captain, Chris Petrakes, is working on Mr. Brewington.

Brian Burnett- is a gifted club player and is an alternate if one of our "legends" must beg off.

Brent Harwood-is a gifted club player waiting on the touchline ready to join us if our invitees come up with a lame excuse to beg off.

Charles Grant-is another steadfast alternate ready to jump on board at front row if one of our stars must beg off.

Gentlemen, it is time to make a firm decision on your status if you have not already indicated so everyone will have the time to make travel plans etc. Look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully,

Cary Kennedy

Hello Mark Fowler,

Delighted that you can join us! In regard to flights and accomadation,everyone is responsible for making their own arrangements. Yet, we do expect to have a hotel and airfare package published within days that you can choose to opt for. Stay tuned to our website for all things big and small. In a general way, I would budget around $250 for airfare and we expect to get a hotel package @ about $120/room/night. This is high season for south florida so discounted hotel rates are not plentiful. So you can swing the whole weekend counting travel/room/eats for around $500.

http://www.richmondrugby.net/ftl.html

As you know, Bill Gardner has assembled a fabulous roster for this fixture; you will enjoy seeing and playing with some of your old mates from Northern Va.

In the meantime, we are requesting a $50 tour deposit to cover your tourney fee and jersey (that will become your personal property). Please send me $50 to my address and make check payable "Cary Kennedy/FTL Tour." 9405 Barnes Road,Toano,Virginia 23168. We need your phone number too.

Cannot tell ya how tickled I am to see ya onboard.

Cheers,
Cary

The tourney is actually in Coconut Creek north of Ft.Lauderdale and west of I95,Tradewinds Park---we have a map published at the tour website to help ya navigate. Will have the skinny on our hotel next day or so.

Have not gotten any confirmation from Mark Fowler on his joining the roster---we would love to have him,of course.

Perhaps you and Phil Bassett and Stuart Corker could collaborate on a rental car?

Chime in Phil and Stuart.

Stay tuned,

Cary,

Here are a few selected shots from our fall season here in Ft. Worth...we are off to a 3-1-1 start so far. I'm #5 in white or green depending on the picture. Also, one from Aspen where I played with the KC Blues in the over 35 final where we defeated Aspen 27-22.

I'm playing Div. I first side again here in Ft. Worth....and will be ready to rumble in Ft. Lauderdale.

John Lawernce, I work it out so I can go. (I had to turn in allot of kitchen passes for this one). I started the training program to lose the weight, gain 30 pounds since Saranac. I figure to leave Friday 27 feb 2004 and come back on Monday 1 March 2004. I think its to early reserve a flight but I think we can get one for $200. the room is $129x3nights=390, rental car 70x4 days=280, tour fee 50, food 50X4+200.

200 flight 390 room $129/personx3nights=390 280 rental car 70x4 days=280 we can divided this up. 050 tour fee 200 50X4 food 920 total

Cary or (Old Boys committee) might be able to get a package deal . Cary probably need the fee as soon as possible.

Who else do you think would like to go?
