Up Coming Events for Nooga

Well we've finished the spring season and are now looking forward to a few weeks off before we start the summer season.

First, we're going to have our spring banquet and golf outing on Saturday, May 2. For the golfing event, we'll be playing 18 holes at Eagle Bend. Tee off will be at 9:30 am and the cost is $35.00. If you are planning on playing, please let me know so we can get an accurate head count. Later, at :6:30, we will have our banquet at the Waterford apartment's clubhouse. We're planning on doing it as a covered dish BYOB again, this worked well for our Christmas party that we decided to do it again.

Second, the Chattanooga RFC is going to host a youth clinic June 2 - 6. This camp will be open to ages 6 - 12 and we are working in conjunction with Chattanooga Parks and Recreation to introduce the game of rugby to as many kids as possible. This is a real opportunity for us to promote both ourselves and the sport itself. if you have time to contribute, we would appreciate your time as we will need as many people as we can get to help with this event. We are hoping to use this to get the game in to the schools and then approach the high schools later this year to start their program for next spring. If you think you can help, please let me know.

Third, our annual 7's tournament is coming up July 24 - 26 at Cherokee farms in Lafayette. If you have never been to this, you are missing out on one of the best tournaments in the east. We have sold out the last 3 years and expect 20 men's and 16 women's team for the event. Clubs from as far as Michigan, Philadelphia, Florida, Chicago, Louisiana, and other great places have entered in previous years to make this tournament the best social on the east coast. Put it on your calendars and make plans to attend.

Thanks to everyone for their support of Chattanooga rugby and look forward to seeing you soon.
