Dave, please share with the other members that there are a couple of
rugby programs scheduled on Fox Sports World in the next couple of
weeks.

On 1/8/05 is the program "How the NRL Was Won".  The NRL is the
National Regby League (Australia).  It airs at 2:00pm.

On 1/12/05 is a program called "Dubai Sevens".  I'm not exactly sure
what that is, but I think it's a regional rugby tournement.  It airs
at 1:00am, but is repeated at 2:00am, Noon, 1:00pm, and at the same
times on 1/13/05 and 1/14/05.

See you on the 15th.

Bill Meyer

Sorry I will miss your January adventures.  I will let you know when I
am coming out next.

Got the Shirt!  It's awesome!!!  Thanks!!!!

Sorry you've been sick.  Sounds like you are feeling better.

Can you send me some info on your region free dvd players when you have
time.

Thanks,

Adam

Thanks!

This meeting will be our first formal chance to get together &
discuss what it is we are looking to achieve over the next year with
the club.

I'll be explaining in greater detail what is expected of us for
acceptance into Both IGRAB (International Gay Rugby Association &
Board) As well as acceptance into the Midwest Rugby Union (a
prerequisite for IGRAB membership).

We will have one or two practice/training sessions scheduled to
happen before the end of January.

These meetings are specifically geared towards those who've joined
this group for the purposes of playing rugby on this team. If you
have signed up to be a supporter but are not looking to play, you
will not need to attend.

NOTICE TO THOSE INTERESTED IN PLAYING:

You have hopefully looked over the Rookie Primer & Kit Guides in the
Files section of this group already:
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/TCGAYRUGBY/files/

If not please do so when you get a chance. One thing you will also
need to have is some sort of health insurance. While a well
conditioned team is far less likely to have any serious injuries.
They are still a likely factor in any contact sport. All those who do
wish to play on the team will need to have a current policy. For
those whose employers do not offer them such as mine, check out E-
Health Insurance. They seem to have incredible rates. If there is
anyone on this board who has better options for health cover, please
let us know.
http://www.ehealthinsurance.com/ehi/index.html

Start Training on your own.
One of the key items Adam Josephs (President of Gotham RFC) made a
big issue of was conditioning. He couldn't stress enough how much it
would help us to A: Prevent injury, B: Increase endurance. And even
if we aren't whoring onto other teams this spring and are just going
for regular team play in the fall. We can't start this soon enough.
So get your asses into the gym.

BACKS: (Typically the leaner of the players) lots of short distance
power running is key. Spinning classes are great for this.

FORWARDS: (Bigger players) more focus on strength training, but you
will still need to develop the ability to sprint without giving up
all your energy for the next 15 minutes.

I ended up going to World Rugby Shop.com and buying that Video Guide
to Rugby. It's awesome. Everyone should pick it up. And with it on
clearance for $10.99 you can't go wrong.

I picked up a good practice ball while I was on the site as well. You
might want to do this at the same time.

Dave,

Any further details on the Jan 8th pub crawl/info meeting?  I want to
participate and need to make sure i'm not working.......

Thanks,
Ryan

Dave, I'm not going to be able to make the Pub Crawl on the 8th (have
to be in Wisconsin cheering my Packers on to victory in the
playoffs).  I did see in one of the messages that there may be an
organizational meeting on the 15th.  Please let me know when and
where, and I will certainly be there.

Thanks for the informational emails when I joined.

Good luck on the crawl, and see you on the 15th.

Happy New Year!

Last week was a scorcher. Busy as hell. I'm just in from Chicago a
few minutes ago and out the door again for the rest of the day. I'll
post in more depth tomorrow evening for sure.

Was lucky enough to have Adam Josephs (President of NYC's Gotham
Night's RFC) take time out while here in Minneapolis & bend his ear
about the club. I got a ton of good advice from him.

Got to hang with the Chicago Dragon's at a Christmas party held at
one of their members homes last night. What a cool group of guys they
are as well!

Cheers,

Dave

Just keep in mind that for every family of one Mormon man with 6 wives, there are 5 "lonely" men...maybe even 6. 

I will be missing out on the next pub crawl, as I'll be in Utah
skiing that weekend (yes, Utah, I'm finally getting WEST of
Kansas!). However, I'll be spreading the li'l tickets to various
businesses etc. over the next week to gain added coverage. I'm also
adding a portion to my gay.com profile to encourage folks to "ASK ME
ABOUT RUGBY".
   I just booked my trip to Utah yesterday, so I'm posting this as
soon as I had confirmation. Anyone been to Salt Lake City within the
last four years and have pointers on things I should take in or
places to eat while I'm there? It'd be much appreciated.

help out?

Dave,

Thanks for all the updates.  I couldn't make the crawl on Saturday as I had to
work all day, all
night.  I will mark my schedule for the next one though.  Thanks again,

Nathan

WOW! Wait let me breath a second & say it again! WOW!

I was so impressed with the folks who showed up & helped out this
saturday for our first of many pub-crawls. What a cool group of folks
we've managed to sucker (I mean recruit) into this group!

Thanks so much you guys! And thanks to those who took the time to
listen to what our members had to say about the club in spite of the
very distracting masturbating shower bloke at the Saloon! (FYI He
says he's gonna join the club as well) We definately made an
impression at Boom & Saloon on Saturday. Good on ya all!

Plans for the future are this:

Pub-Crawl II on the 8th of January. We'll hit Trikks, Brass & Gay
90's, again I'll arrange for no-cover at Eagle-Bolt after so we can
all just hang & get pissed!

Those who ordered T-shirts & didn't get them in time. Sorry about
that, they took longer at Zazzle then I expected too! Order now for
the next pub-crawl if you want, they are good for just wearing when
you go out to the bars on your own as well.

http://www.zazzle.com/products/product/product.asp?product%
5Fid=235542589588444328


This will be followed by our first formal meeting on the 15th. Time
to be determined. But we will probably end up doing it at the Bolt
before the officially open or at Grumpy's Bar on Washington ave. More
details will follow of course.

New members, you'd do yourselves a favor by checking the previous
posts to answer many of your questions. I'll be meeting with NYC's
Gotham Nights president on Wednesday, after which I'm hoping to have
a better idea of where we are in the grand scheme of things and where
we are heading as a club.

Gay Men's Chorus:

One of our members who couldn't make it cause he was singing his ass off on
Satuday night was Eric. He's the Vice President & a songster in the Twin Cities
Gay Men's Chorus. They have one more performance of their Snow Show this coming
Friday the 17th. If you want to go follow this link:
http://www.tcgmc.org/concert_2004_12_snow.htm

Had lots of folks in the Eagle/Bolt this weekend raving about the show.

Once again thanks to those who made it out. What a fucking cool
group! I'm more psyched than ever for where we are going.

Cheers Queers, (and queer friendly str8 lads)

Hi folks,
Saw that "gayrugby.org" was up for grabs. Thought it would be an easier
domain name to type in and remember than "http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/
group/TCGAYRUGBY/"  so I went ahead and registered it.

I have it so that it will redirect the viewer to this site.

However, since it is newly registered the site may not be up for 24 to 72 hours
(site was registered December 11 at 6:00pm).
