Revised Winter Schedule Update

As we didn't get play last Saturday we are going to try to reschedule the winter games and add a bit of redundancy in case there's a last minute cancellation again (we're never going to be able to predict the weather anyway!!)

Apologies to those who only got word of the cancellation late, we tried our best to keep the game going but there were too many last minute weather related withdrawals to go ahead with it.

We're now going to try for Saturday the 1st of November for our next game. We'll keep the original November date (8th) as a backup in case we can't get enough people for the 1st or if we have to cancel again for whatever reason.

As usual let us know if you intend coming so we can call it off or fall back on the second date if we need to. I won't email about this again until closer to the time but I'll update this post with numbers etc so keep an eye on this post for more up to date info. Feel free to let everyone know you're coming by using the comments below too.

We'll work out the December game closer to the time, probably the 6th or the 13th.

And while I still have your attention don't forget about our end of year questionnaire!!

Provisional Winter Schedule

Only about half of the questionnaire's have been completed yet its pretty clear that almost everyone would like to get together and play a game every few weeks over the winter (weather permitting of course). I have come up with a provisional schedule below that will give us a game every 5 weeks or so.

Saturday 4 October
Saturday 8 November
Saturday 13 December (we might try to have drinks after too!)

I'd appreciate it if you can get back to me asap if you intend on playing in October. You can pencil in the other dates but they are very, very provisional at the moment.

If you are going to play on October 4th please let me know that you'll be around and which day suits best (or if both days are ok). Right now the game is set for 12.30 on Saturday. I'll be sending another mail closer to the time but the more advanced notice the better!

We won't be doing any training so we do need numbers to be able to play a game, if I don't get at least 12 confirmation's I'll call the game off or try to reschedule for another weekend. Even though we'll just be playing a game don't be afraid to bring new people along.

2008 MVP Award Winners

The 2008 Galway Softball MVP winners are as follows

Female: Orla Conroy
Male : John McGreevy

We had a total of 18 people who voted, which was pretty much everyone that was around this year. It was a pretty close run contest in both categories with only 2 votes the difference in the male vote and 3 in the female. The more people that vote in this award the fairer it is so thanks to all of you who did vote.

If you get a few minutes some time soon don't forget to fill out our end of year questionnaire. Its your chance to have a say in how to improve the club.
