The 2010 Winter Training program has been posted under Fitness (look left…)

The preseason isn’t far away and life for everyone will be much, much nicer if we all take the time to follow the plan and show up to that first practice with a decent fitness base. No one likes to waste their time at rugby practice doing fitness for the sake of fitness when we could be building and maintaining our existing fitness by actually practicing rugby.

Go to the gym on the weekends and follow the program during the week.

When: Friday, January 15th 7-9pm

Where: Kitty O’Shea’s

This event is open to wives, girlfriends, newborns, friends and family. Number 1’s are required for ALL Old Gold members. At this point you should all know what Numbers 1’s consist of – no excuses. Beatty has a ‘Duly Noted’ hair-trigger.

When: Saturday December 19th 5-9pm

Where: Downtown Boston starting at Sullivan’s Tap at 5pm and moving to Hurricane O’Reilly’s by 5:30 (probably sooner), and so on and so forth until 9pm when covers kick in. If you’re late and don’t see the Santas call someone.

Who: Preferably someone better looking than yourselves. However if you must attend at least be in a Santa Suit. That means red hat, jacket, you all know Santa. I don’t care if you do Christmas, you do Santa Crawls!!

Other: Girls and friends and family are more than welcome, but costume expectations fall to them as well. Other costumes are OK such as Elves, Reindeer, Mrs. Clause, something in a children’s holiday movie like the Abominable Snowman. Just remember this isn’t an ugly sweater party and Jonny’s elf costume is “metal”
