Great times for disc when the weather is perfect.  I'll bring jerseys cones and
perhaps a watermelon.  Maybe we'll have 2!

nice article in Newport This Week.  Some brief mention of our existence which is
a bonus:

Hello,

I hope you all are enjoying what we can officially call "SUMMER" in New England.
The last few weeks have been rough weather on Sunday morning but luckily the
rain has not interfered once.  We had another epic game last weekend with around
23 players total.

Have a look at the promotional flier I put together for this weekend:

I'm quite excited for a big game on Sunday.  The perfect redemption from a
gluttonous 4th of July barbecue would be running around chasing a disc on
Sunday.  Let's hope for beautiful weather this week and the rest of the season.

Have a great holiday,

Webb

Mighty fine weather this weekend we think.   We actually got together on
Thursday at Murphy's field this week, but it might not be a regular thing yet
with the RIPUL league starting up too.  If anyone else is interested we can
start trying to rally for the Thursday night games again as well!

  Sunday is always on though.  We played through the non-existent rain the past 2
weeks with  at least a dozen players each time.

Cheers,

This is just a copy of a message sent to the ripul mail list:

From: Mjbdisc
Subject: [ripul] RIPUL - APRIL 29th (SIGNUP INFO)
To: Mjbdisc
Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 12:11 PM



People

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting signups for the 2009 summer
league, our 14th season.  Please go here to fill out your application online 
RIPUL 2009 application .  However, be aware that your application is not
official until you have mailed me a check for $70 ($20 for captains) made
payable to "RIUPA, INC." or "RIPUL", along with your signed waiver (print the
waiver from the website).  Matthew Brier, 2 Dexter Street, Pawtucket, RI 02860.

Games will be held every Monday and Wednesday starting June 1st at 6:00 PM.  We
will have a 22 game schedule so you will play every team twice.  Playoffs this
season are scheduled for all day on Saturday August 15th, fruit and water
provided, pizza and award ceremonies following the finals.

Some of you might be aware that we will not be using the Wheeler School fields
in Seekonk this season.  Thanks to the assistance of Dr. Bill Brown, we were
able to secure alternative fields with the Town of Seekonk.  We will have 5
games scheduled at Directions to the Cole St. fields and a 6th game at
Directions to the Pleasant St. fields.  For July and August, our 6th game will
be at North Street School off Route 152 in Seekonk also.

It is imperative that we all put our best foot forward and not risk jeoparding
ths fields because if we lose these fields also, we risk losing RIPUL forever. 
Accordingly, any use of alcohol, drugs, and/or any other inappropriate behavior
(loitering after dusk, for instance) will be grounds for immediate dismissal
from RIPUL.

Because these fields do not cost as much, I have reduced our rate from $80 to
$70 and for captains from $30 to $20.  This fee includes open pickup in May, as
well as polypro wicking shirts that are even nicer than last year's.  But that's
not all....Everybody is also going to receive a free RIPUL disc as well!!!

We will once again offer a $10 discount for new women (those who have never
played organized disc before) and those who recruit them.  If you are taking the
$10 discount, please note who recruited you on your waiver.

Signups are on a 1st come/1st served basis so if you get me your check early and
often, you will be all set.  For those who wait to the last minute, you run the
risk of being shut out.   Those men who recruit a new woman but do not sign up
until the last minute will get priority.  So, you can be a slacker at no risk so
long as you recruit a new woman.  Women, please sign up sooner rather than
later, so we can feel confident that we will have enough women to support 12
teams.

I am still looking for more sets of captains.  Beside getting to choose your own
team and be the boss, you also only pay $20 for signup.  Please email me
directly if interested.

We are going to have pickup on Monday May 4, 11, 18, and 25 at Directions to the
Cole St. fields.  Pickup on wednesday May 6, 13, 20, 27 will be at Directions to
the Pleasant St. fields.  The Cole Street fields we will have 2 fields for May 4
and 11 and 3 fields May 18, 25.  The Pleasant Street field can only accomodate 1
field.

Lastly, we are again offering free summer league membership to whoever wins the
best t-shirt design.  I need submissions no later than May 16th.  If you can put
the design in Adobe Illustrator that would be ideal.

We are looking forward to another great season of RIPUL.  And, do not forget
that after every game we all converge at The Merrell a few minutes from the
fields for dinner and cocktails.  Any ?s, send them my way.

Ready, Set, go Sign Up......

Just because the forecast calls for thunderstorms this sunday at 10am doesn't
mean you should make alternative plans.   :)

  Anything can happen in the next 36 hours so be ready to go.  Hopefully we can
play rain or shine!  Some of the best games have been in between storms so stay
tuned.  Sunday 10am at the high school.

They will be having a 5k race at the high school Sunday morning.  So show up
early and maybe we'll inspire others to join us!  We've been doing 5 on 5 with
subs so the ultimate is in full effect now.

I have the cones, jerseys, and disc this week.   Ready to rock,

Webb

http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/newrunclub/

check it out.  run a few miles on thursday night and have a pint of beer
afterward (optional).   6:30pm at Fastnet

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.

Sunday game too if whether is good.

It's reported to be the best weather you can ask for this weekend.  No
excuse to miss ultimate!

And you'll need the exercise for burning all those calories of robust
German beer at Newport Oktoberfest.  You'll find me at the
Franziskaner tent.  :)

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.
