A Message from our Club Social Director - Dan "D-Train" Zimmerman

April 7 – Target date for outdoor training (weather permitting):
We hope to be outside for Tuesday and Thursday trainings in a couple of weeks. The training isn’t the social part but we usually go out every Thursday after practice to grab some food and a couple drinks at our sponsor pub.

April 18 – “Blues and Whites” Intrasquad Match:
Just a chance for everyone to get some touches on the ball and a great opportunity for the newer players to learn more about playing footy. We will be heading to the pub after the game for some drinks and to chat about the game.

Location: Blues Training ground (by Hart House at UofT)
Time: 11:00 am

April 23 – Jumper Presentation Night:
Each player will be presented with their jersey and number for the season (if you still have your jumper, bring it to Bruce at practice). There will be other announcements, including the 2009 Blues Captains and a few words from Jase, Knackers, and Jaye-Mac. This will take place at our sponsor pub after training (presentations will start at approximately 8:30 pm).

April 25 – ANZAC Day Game:
We will be playing a pre-season game to mark this Australian – New Zealand holiday (it commemorates the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in World War I). Location and time for the game are being finalized at this time.

July 4 - Blues Family & Sponsors Day:
The club will be using this day to specifically honour the unsung heroes of the club. The club's family, friends and of course our sponsors.

There are plans afoot to have a season launch party in mid-May (weekend of the 15th-17th). This is one week before the season starts and is the same weekend as the Canadian Nationals Tournament. It looks to be a ripper of an event so I will keep you posted as it develops.

Please contact Dtrain if you require any more information.
