Two of our team reps attended the SASL annual meeting last week and we were officially accepted as new members of SASL! We will start our first season in the SASL on August 15th 2010. The schedule will be out shortly before that. Some significant administration will need to be done before then such as paying another $500 before June 1st with our team members full information (Name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birth dates). But they recommended the names be sent before May. Ron, as the CFO, will be in charge of that process. He will need to make sure all names and details correspond to his fee payment schedule and he will get in touch with everyone shortly. It is really important to get this info to Ron as soon as you can. This new league is run very professionally and have deadlines and rules that they stick to!
As a reminder to everyone, we set up a new team operations group to help us manage the team more effectively involving myself, Ron, Rob, Behrooz, Tom and Jody.
This is no longer a one man show!
Ron is our CFO, assisted by Rob....all fees and payments go through him from now on.
I have still to hear from Tom about what is happening with our involvement with CARLS. That season should be starting mid April and it is our intention to play in the Spring/Summer section of that league until the new SASL league starts in August. Unlike the SASL, Tom is our sole representative and contact with that league so we will need to hear from him to know what is happening.
We are planning to have another Auger's Bar get together on Wednesday 31st March at 6pm. At that meeting we can finally tie down who is accountable for what when it comes to overall team management as we transition to a new league. As a reminder here is what we agreed to at the initial meeting last September;

We also have an indoor game this Thursday at 7pm against Cardiac Arrest. See you there!
great effort last week guys...sorry I called off at last minute. See everyone on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteTom,
can you bring the blank SASL ID cards with you...Thanks!
I have contacted the CARSL over the weekend and I am told the schedule will be fortcoming soon starting 2nd week of April. The person in charge is sick again and not well but should be hearing from him soon. I have also left a message for the president of the league and waiting to hear from him. So hang on and with patience we will get there. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI have contacted the CARSL League and the person in charge is sick and not well again. I was told we should be starting in mid-April and the spring schedule will be issued soon. So hang on and with patience we will get there. Thanks

Guys, we may be only 3 weeks away from the outdooor season! We should think about some outdoor practice or a friendly?
ReplyDeleteRuben,
ReplyDeletehas guilford satrted outdoor practice at the Cox school yet?
I believe after this week they will start but I ask them tomorrow night at indoor field.
ReplyDeleteI posted some info about practice on (the gato stink post)but we talk tomorrow about it.
there is a rumor going round that we have a scrimmage game against Cheshire this Sunday! Anyone know? Tom?
ReplyDelete7 or 8PM tomorrow? Can't find the schedule
ReplyDelete7 or 8PM tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteFor those of you that did not read my posting right to the bottom of it;!!
ReplyDeleteWe also have an indoor game this Thursday at 7pm against Cardiac Arrest. See you there!
If you need somebody for tomorrow night, I'll make myself available for selection. I know you have 3 games left on the schedule, so unless I ask my other team, I'd like to have at least one fun soccer outing with my misfits "camarade" before the outdour :o) All i've done so far is kicking the ball with my 2-1/2 year old, and he is a natural, dribbling around my viscious dog, and shouting at my wife....You would think that this would be a great training regimen, but... nothing like getting scream at by your teammates...
ReplyDeleteGreat news in both league developments.
We heard from some Cheshire team players that we have a scrimmage game against them this Sunday morning. who set this up? Tom have you set up a scrimmage with Cheshire manager? They think they are playing against us on Sunday. Tom????
ReplyDeleteDo not forget(reminder)for whoever would like to attend. Meeting at Augur's in Guilford, wednesday March 31st at 6 p.m.
ReplyDeleteFebrika,
ReplyDeleteThursday at 7 pm. Show up for the game. If they let you sub. We have a tuff crowd who does not like to sub as much.
Fribeka! It will be graet to see you tomorrow night!
ReplyDeleteEl Gato.... i think if Tom arranged a game against Cheshire he would have told us by now....no??
ReplyDeleteWell, Jody heard from a Cheshire player that they think we have a game against them this Thursday. So Tom must have talked to their manager or somebody and arranged something. That is the only person I know who would do such a thing without telling us.
ReplyDeleteI meant this Sunday
ReplyDeletecould it be against the over 30 Madison team? If it is us then we need to know asap!!
ReplyDeleteGood point he never said which Madison team.... I guess Tom can confirm if he had any conversation with Cheshire team or not.
ReplyDeletewe can find out tomorrow.... i hope!.... we also need to know if the CARSL is running and if we are in it! League starts in like 3 weeks!!
ReplyDeleteGuilford Black Eagle (SASL over 40) asked me for a scrimmage this Sunday but wanted to play at our field since their field is not available. Madison fields are closed also so I couldn't make it happen.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone attended the CARSL meeting two weekends ago? (Saturday March 13th)
ReplyDeletethat's a shame...we will need a couple of warm up games before the season starts.... we usually suck at the beginning of the Spring season
ReplyDeleteApril 11th is the first CARSL game. Are we in it?
ReplyDeletethat.... is the $64 question
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a CARLS meeting! Did Tom attend? That could be a problem if we didn't have a rep at the meeting!
ReplyDeleteI guess you and I are the only ones concerned about this....... or atleast having a conversation.....
ReplyDeleteyes! everyone else has a life!!
ReplyDeleteYes there was a meeting on the 13th.
ReplyDeleteI guess I go back to my life and pump the water out of my flooded basement....
ReplyDeletereally? That sucks! .... well it will do when you switch the machine on!!
ReplyDeleteGents:
ReplyDeleteI ask to public park duty in New Haven and East Haven to use their fields and I almost get one but the whether forecast by Saturday morning is 26 degree so they said "no" will still freeze field by Sunday. But we can use some turf field. I ask tomorrow if they let us play at Guilford HS.
Cheers.
thanks Ruben
