JUNE 6 - 8, 19th OLD MEN OF THE MOUNTAIN RUGBY FESTIVAL, FRANCONIA, NH

Once again, Joe Flynn, President, Chief Operating Officer, & Protector of the Valley; and Bill Good, High Commissioner & Emissary from the Southern Lands; have invited the Grey to the northland for a weekend of excess (excess muscle strains and lies, that is). Tony Johnson forwarded all the details to you this past Friday. Please send Tony or Dean your plans. These are the questions we need answers to:

A. Your availability for the Saturday games - playing or not 
B. If you are planning on playing in the Friday afternoon golf outing - number of persons 
C. The number of people you plan to have for the Friday night cookout 
D. If you plan to attend the Saturday night festival dinner - the number of people you expect to have attending 
E. The number of people you expect to have attend the after-dinner dance on Saturday night

Also, Don Brancard tells me that one of the two rooms he has booked at the Franconia Inn is going vacant now that his kids won't be going up. If you are without accommodation, or you would like to upgrade to the Inn, contact Don.

JULY 26, RHODY OLD COCKS AT BLOCK ISLAND

The tradition continues. We will travel to the Island the last weekend of July for our annual clash with the Old Cocks. Kick-off at the soccer field near the airport will probably be sometime shortly after noon.
