Greetings ultimate players,
It's been a great summer season, capped off by a spirited game of
pickup, and festive beer drinking this past Thursday, September 4.
Rest assured, disc will continue through the fall at the JFK fields
at 5:30 PM Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 4:30 PM on Sundays.
With the days getting shorter and shorter it's important to show up
as close to the start time as possible so that we can get plenty of
playing time in. So stop thinking you can show up at 6 PM because
that invariably pushes the first pull time close to 6:30 PM, which
leaves one fleeting hour for a game.
New topic: In the interest of full disclosure, I want to provide a
brief accounting of the finances to which most of you contributed. As
a reminder, everybody who plays pickup disc throughout the year
contributes $10 toward the field fees which the Department of
Recreation requires.
I collected a total of $525 at the beginning of the summer. $210 went
to the Northampton Department of Recreation, $100 went towards chips
and beer for our party last week, leaving a balance of $215 which I
will apply towards another party or next year's field fees when they
come due in the spring.
Feel free to call me at 413-268-0388 with questions.
Peace,
Sheldon
