A Special Invite:
Our next clubhouse talks series event has now been set. This one will be 100% remote given that Scobie Hall is currently still under renovations. This next event will be held on Friday, April 17th at 7:00pm and can be attended via this link. The event will feature the new TMR Rugby Director of Rugby Hugo Montemeral being interviewed by none other than the new TMR Rugby President, Pierre-Olivier Phan-Lachapelle. Hugo will discuss his philosophy and the direction that he hopes to take the club and Pierre Olivier will dig to uncover the man behind the whistle. There will be a Q&A period at the end as well and we’ll record the session for those that can’t be there at that time.
Best Wishes to our Favourite American!
70th birthday greetings to Jim Gaita. Jim was out with a few of the elder Townies, and his son Jaxon, to celebrate with his partner in love, Lisa Bowden Coletti.
From Ron Field about your newsletter:
Nice to see the newsletter is still called THE TOWN CRIER.
That is the name I called the monthly newsletter I used to produce. The Club should have those copies as I sent them over a few years ago. I started in 1968/69.
Merci de votre fidèle lecture et de vos encouragements constants. Notre club et ses partenaires sont toujours reconnaissants.
À bientôt les ami.e.s
