Dallas RFC

Dallas RFC will be holding its Annual General Meeting TONIGHT (Wednesday May 3rd, 2006) at Ben’s Half Yard House on Greenville Ave. Ben’s is on the east side of Greenville, south of Walnut Hill and north of Park Lane. The meeting will start sharply at 7:00 PM. $5 Yard Beers.

The team will be reviewing the year, discussing upcoming events, electing officers for 2006-2007 season, and selecting awards for the End of the Year Banquet.

Only member current on dues can vote or be elected to office.

All members are open to attend - you just can’t vote.

Basically, as you know, Glyn is getting married and Thursday Arpil 27th at 7:00 PM will be a good chance to get everyone together play some touch and then all meet at the Blarney Stone afterwards for a few beers…

From Ben’s email…

As many of you are aware, former self proclaimed DRFC playing legend & current assistant coach Glyn Heatley, gets married this upcoming May to a young Irish beauty (Trish Egan), in Ireland. Given the current plight of English rugby, the marriage is being regarded as a great strategic alignment by English rugby supporters. Irish supporters are less enthusiastic, but have accepted love tends to be blind, irrespective of the likely dilution of their rugby DNA talent.

Cheers

Colin

Old Boy and still very active Dallas RFC member Lane Westbrook went under the knife. You might not know Lane but if you have had one of the bratwursts at the field this year; well, that was a deal Lane put together for the club. Lane had quadruple by-pass surgery Friday and is in recovery in Tyler Texas.

Please pray for a steady and a full recovery for Lane.

As soon as we have more information, it will be updated here.

Update:

Lane is doing fine and recovering well. He did not have a heart attack as previously reported. He did have the quadruple by-pass surgery which he attributes to a poor diet in his early years. He has been increasing the intensity of his workouts which might have caused the need for surgery. A new diet and new outlook on life should get things under control. Lane wanted to say thanks to Canada Bob and Gen-o for stopping by on Sunday in Tyler.

The schedule is up and posted found under “schedule” on the menu bar at left. Also further down the History of Rugby and Rules of Rugby pages are up.

Thank You for your patience,

Trip Hillman
