Some updates:
(1) The head count. We are up to 10 people confirmed for the big event - this is excellent! There are still 5 in the "TBD" bucket. Skinner has mentioned that we might get one or two local additions as well.
(2) Food. Let's get this organized. Check the right column of this website for the current situation. We need volunteers to step up please. Let me know via email what you can contribute.
(3) Reminders. Further down the right column of this website are important reminders that you don't want to miss. Scott has informed me that there are several "cushioned" sleeping stations (3 beds, a pull out couch, a sectional) but it's a good idea to bring blankets/sleeping bags/pillows. On a somewhat-related-note, it's BYOB as usual. I've heard that drinking will increase the comfort of your sleep. Don't forget football gear and clean clothes that would work for a night out in case we head to a local pub.
(4) Parking. There is room for four cars. Extras will need to be identified with the town so we don't get tickets. So email me the following if you're driving and I'll get it over to Scott: (a) make, (b) model, (c) license plate, (d) colour, (e) your cell number.
(5) Timing. Remember to meet at Scott's for 12 noon. Address and map is to the right. If you are late, come straight to the site of the Fest Bowl. It will be held at Mary Dawson park. Kickoff is 1 pm.
(6) Money. New this year!! Bring $30 plus whatever you want for poker and other activities. The $30 is for squares ($20) and cleaning ($10) for the host. More on squares below. As for the $10, I had an idea that we should all contribute toward a cleaning service for the host moving forward. Sorry that we didn't come up with this years ago. I suppose that this is optional but strongly encouraged.
(7) Squares. Also new this year!! $20 will be collected from each of you - it is the full cost of squares this year. I'm assuming everyone is in, so let me know if you would rather not participate. I will collect it all at once and this will get you squares for both games. Squares will be split evenly amongst all participants and the numbers for the squares will be drawn randomly. Prizes will go to winning squares at half and at the end of both games. Prizes (approx) - 15% at half of each game and 35% at the end of each game...all funds collected are paid out. I'm calling this the "For Joel" or the "FJ" (for short) approach.
That's about it for now. If you didn't like today's update, Tom has a message for you:
