I've alredy pumped the person that owns the power league and never called them back.

He wisnae impressed.

Right! I went down to The Pitches at the weekend. The girl at the desk said that if we spoke to or wrote a letter to the owners of the venue they'd probably be willing to do us a deal on the pitch. If we could get it for £50 instead of £70, that's pretty cheap on a per person basis. I suppose even at £70 for a one off it's not bad; £3.60 vs £5 if we each only have a 7 person team. I had a run around on the pitches too; they're in good nick as the place is only a couple of months old, and the underlay makes them feel nice and springy.

And it's set up quite well for spectators too.

The only day we couldn't book something is a Monday; other than that most evenings and weekends are pretty empty. We usually play on a Tuesday or a Thursday. When do you lot generally play? Any thoughts on when this should happen??

When my leg heals, haha.

Are we going to do this this year or when the weather is better?

Dunno?? I was going to suggest early December (before all the Xmas nites out started kicking off ) but if too many people are broken/skint we can put if off til ?? I don't think weather will be an issue if everyone is happy to play indoors.

giving to charity when you're saving for xmas isn't that likely, it's also pretty soon to organise everything and get the money in...

I got a reputation as a hatchet man at a charity 5s tournament the other month. I could a free kick given against me (and booed by the crowd) for putting a lassie in the air with a slide tackle. She was in my team too. Mwo ha ha ha. I got booed every time i scored too. Panto villan

Here's the latest:

The girls have strips.

The venue is The Pitches, Pollokshaws.

I've emailed CHAS and asked for any information/sponsor packs they might provide to people wanting to fundraise for them. They are also on justgiving.com, so it will be pretty easy to set up a page there.

Nicky (one of the girlies) is going to get the charity she works for to write a letter on our behalf looking for a reduced-fee 7s pitch.

The girls are happy to wait until after Christmas to do this - more time to organize and get people to donate, as Young Blood said.

How does everyone feel about Saturday, 9 January? Say, 10 or 11 am? Or later in the afternoon/evening? Yay or nay? Other suggestions?
