Portland Pirates

There are still two more chances for training before the season starts; tonight and next Tuesday. As usual, calendar invites will be sent, or let me know if you would like to attend. There will also be a chance for some batting cage time this Sunday or Monday, so again, if you want to know more just let me know.

Captain Rubble.

It's almost time for the new season, so dust of your eye patches and wooden legs. The season starts the first week of May, games are generally every week on a Thursday (final schedule to be confirmed).

There will be an opportunity to learn what softball is all about during pre season training / introductions to softball nights on the 20^th and 27^th of April and 3rd of May. 

As a brief summary, it’s about a little sport.... (ideally in the sunshine at Regents Park), plus a fair amount of socialising with teams from other advertising agencies across London and a fair amount of social drinking.

The league news is finally in, and the full game schedule has been published.

To see it, in all its complex glory, just follow the 'Schedule' link at the top of this blog (a quick guide - all our games have been filled in red).

For those whose eyes glaze over at the sight of such a schedule, our first game is on Thursday the 20th May versus Rainey Kelly CR/Y&R on pitch 10.

Since next week is the last week before we start hitting the park, if anyone wants some more training time after work, a guide to the game or has any questions just let myself or Becs know and we will see what we can sort out for you.

With the start of the season getting ever closer I figure its time to get everyone into the park for some pre game warm ups, so if anyone fancies a little batting practice and a chance to try on your soon to be loved gloves, we will be heading up to the park after work this Thursday.

There may also be the chance of a mini game (depending on numbers), with some old friends from Blow Up Media and the Engine crew. Just send me an email so we have an idea of numbers.

A couple more dates for the diary, official league training evenings, to introduce all newcomers to the game, will take place next week on Wednesday the 28th and Thursday the 29th. Again let me know if you would like to attend.

Finally, it is the captains meeting tonight so we will soon know who we will be facing and when. More news to follow soon, and if you haven't yet signed up or confirmed your email subscription, do so soon to avoid missing any updates.
