medics-rugby-club.
Training

if you have room in your cars. The bar will be open afterwards.
Congratulations – to those players who played last Saturday against Southwold,
28 - 3 is a fine result. Conceding no tries is also something to be proud of.
Particular mention goes to Paul Ferris, playing hooker for the first time in a
while and not starting any major fights, and Martin Falkingham (for he is a Legend)
for playing openside flanker after the first choice was enjoying warmer climes
inside the M25. Another excellent result, which sets us up well for this weekends
top of the table clash against Broadland.

Fixture against Leicester Medical School the following weekend
– 18th November. Could all players who can definitely make this trip
e-mail us by 18.00 on Thursday 9th Nov – we will need at least 15 positive replies
to go ahead. Following the difficulties re: Brighton match and getting
a team together, we want to make sure that sufficient numbers are available.
We would urge you to only say you are coming if you know that, barring injury
you will definitely be available to travel and play on 18th. The trip is being
organised by the Medics Footballers and they have set the fee at £12. If there is
insufficient interest we will have to consider cancelling the fixture and if that
is the case it is only polite to do so sooner rather than later – your quick
response is appreciated.
Outstanding membership fees – A number of mischievous players have yet to pay this
years subs, leaving the club £££ short - rascals. Please contact our jolly money-handler
Jamie a.s.a.f.p. to discuss payment. We are not naming & shaming on this occasion –
as the author of this fine document is one of the aforementioned scally-wags.

Borat – the 1st NMRFC cinema trip was a success. We filled an entire row at
'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'.
Following the trip it was confirmed by the National Geologic Survey that our chairman's
laughs were recorded a 1.2 on the Richter scale, a feat only previously equalled by
Brain Blessed.
Minutes– the minutes from last weeks committee meeting are posted on the forum under the
'Committee Minutes & questions' thread. They contain information regarding next February's
eagerly anticipated elections.
NMRFC End of season dinner – will be held in April 2007. Further details are to be confirmed
as and when the (all-seeing visionary that is our) Chairman pulls his finger out, but keep it in
mind. Last year's event was successful and enjoyable. With the increased membership this
year we hope to have a 'traditional rugby club dinner' with fun and frolics aplenty.
A note from the socials bint –
The 'medics sports dinner' will be held on Saturday 3rd March (after Diss IV match). This bash is organised by our good friends in the medics kissball team. There will be 3 course meal, disco, entertainment, guest speaker (a 'sleb' of some sort) & unofficial NMRFC awards – the main ones will be presented at the End of Season Dinner. If you are interested please reply so we can let the kissballers know whether to count us in or not. Some of us went last year.
A note from our inspiring captain Martin Falkingham (he may have been at the Kia-Ora when he sent this - to many E-numbers...) - Martin is awesome. Koala is gay! (with Duncan). Beer session at Suffolk terrace on wednesday night - ring Tom or Duncan. PS - Koala is gay!
What do I need to do now? E-mail us soon if you want to play at Leicester. E-mail us if you are interested in the 'medics sports dinner' being organised by the kissballers. Turn up to training this week. Ring Tom or Duncan if you want to get smashed in Suffolk terrace tonight.
That is all,
Alex
