OK - It was true - everyone was busy with family and Easter Sunday.
We had 9 competitors step up to the challenge last week for a wonderful spring
game.

SO you can pretty much bet if weather is nice we'll be playing again next
Sunday!

Cheers,
Webb

No one showed last Sunday, even after all the big talk on Facebook.  That was
disappointing.  I wonder if the core has mailed it in.   I'm hoping everyone was
just busy with Easter and family.

We'll probably have to go to the park since high school would be in
session then.  Murphy Field (right around corner of Roger's):

Hi!
The warm weather yesterday got me thinking about disc again so I *finally* went to sign up for the Newport Ultimate Facebook group. It said it was a closed group so I clicked to subscribe. If I found the right group, please sign me up. I would like to play once the game starts back up. Thanks!

You should post on Facebook because there are more people on there for Newport Utlimate Group in fact and certainly other clubs there too! This yahoo group is much smaller than the Facebook one.    Hopefully someone from our little group though will step up with more info for you! Craigslist is sketchy but sometimes useful too:

Sorry no one was there Sunday. I personally was in bed late and did not like the temperature outside and the crazy winds outside that morning!   The week before was holiday weekend and we had about 11 show up - which is pretty low considering how perfect the weather was!   Numbers are dropping off and Thursday game is definitely over with until next year.   Several regulars have "shut it down" because of injury in the last month or 2. That is terrible luck you came when no one else showed though.

Will try to post on here if it looks CERTAIN we are having a game but otherwise it might be a gamble each weekend. However, we had several great games over Christmas "break" in past years! So it's not all over, just slowing down!

Sorry, for some reason I didn't get your message til after noon.
We actually played - but you never know on a day like today - only 7
of us were there.   Hopefully we can keep getting enough to play long
into fall and the winter.  We'll see.  Next week let's hope no rain!
  Last week I was in Florida but I heard they only had 3 people show up
in the rain then.

I think it will be good because a lot of people have next Monday off.

I am resending this because most people who are members on this group
actually had "email" disabled.  I turned email on just so you know
this group still exists.  You can remove yourself if you don't want
any more messages.

For those that are still interested:

We have had games of 4 on 4 last 2 weeks.   Weather has been as good
as it can possibly be in Newport.  See message below - about playing
today in Newport!

We are going to try to meet 6pm on Thursdays now (as long as it
doesn't conflict with some rugby teams or school soccer teams'
practices).

   Usually we play a half field going the width of the field instead of
the full length, a little smaller scale than Sunday.  Stop by any time
because sunset aint' til 8:20!

Later,

Yo dudes - check out all the links I added on the page;
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/NPT-Ultimate/links

We got a TERRIFIC response with new BLOOD for today's match.  One
brilliant newcomer has already taken the initiative in adding a
Facebook "newport ultimate pickup" group.  Check that shit out. So it
looks like things are going in very much the right direction this
summer.

Only now we need to decide what other night during the week to play?
Once a week on Sundays just aint' enough.   In the past we played
Thursdays.   Anyone have any suggestions?

Adios,
