Hi all, here's the details on Saturday's New York Rugby Club Friends
and Family Day.
Directions - Schedule - Car Pool - Other
### Directions ###
The park is Inwood Hill Park. To view a park map go to
http://gis.nyc.gov/parks/lc/NavigateTo.do?PAGE=NEW_SEARCH
and search for Inwood Hill Park.
Best entry is at 214th and Indian Road. As you look at the map, head
toward the semi-circular path to the right of the words "Inwood Hill
Park". If you can't see us, just call the mobile
917.340.7227 and
we'll pull you through.
This is way up on the upper tip of Manhattan, exit 214th Street and
Dykeman Street off the West Side Highway. The A and the 1/9 Trains go
there too. I'm told parking is tight, so please allow time to park.
### Schedule ###
We'll be starting at 10am. Please arrive by 9:30 at the latest. (Staff
will be there by 9am to start setting up.) We'll be doing warm ups,
then drills, then an intra-squad game.
After the Dragons there will be two Old Boys games followed by the
Women's and Men's A teams. Pack a big lunch! I'm guessing we'll be
grilling, I don't know the park but it never hurts to throw a grill in
the back of the car.
If we get the opportunity, we'll play a second demonstration game for
the senior sides after the lunch break, so please plan on sticking
around for food and drink. We want the Dragons to be seen by as many
people as possible on Saturday.
Full Kit!!! That means a Dragons jersey and Dragons shorts! I have
about 4 pair of red socks and plenty of spare shorts if anyone's in
need. This is our first outing in front of our sponsoring club, so
let's show them what we've doing in Brooklyn!
### Car Pool ###
If anyone has room to spare hit reply to this E-mail - brooklyn-
dra...@googlegroups.com - and post to the group. I know we have one
offer from Park Slope for two or three seats.
### Other ###
I know a few people still haven't subscribed to this list, so please
pass the word and make sure everyone knows the plans.
Everyone is welcome, it'll be a very social day with a great
opportunity to see some senior rugby up close so bring a friend or
three! You don't have to be a Dragon family to come, if you know
someone who's interested in learning more about rugby pass this note
on.
And yes, practice session is still on for Sunday! Hopefully not too
many of you will be all rugby'ed out.
Cheers all, hit the list with questions and I look forward to seeing
those of you that can make it on Saturday!
Jaz
