1 VP will be hosting a Social Snow Sevens Rugby Tournament at CFB Edmonton at the Rugby Pitch just south of the 1 VP lines on 16 Feb 08
The event will be very low-key, and will stress the social side of the game as well as its other obvious manly attributes. All Edmonton Area units have been invited to submit a team (or even two) of 7-10 players, male or female (all must be serving members). Team report in (and opening of the bar) will occur at 0900 hrs on the 16th. We will play throughout the day, with the finals concluded by 1600 hrs. The bar will be open throughout the tournament in order to accentuate the social side of the event. A post tourney bash will then crack on until the wee hours.
All that teams require are jerseys of some sort (hockey is fine), warm clothes, and cash for the bar. A warming tent / change tent / bar tent will be provided. There is no registration fee. Bring balls (of the rugby variety) if you have them - otherwise the First Battalion will provide. Spectators are encouraged to attend.
The intent of this tournament is to provide an opportunity for military rugby players to get out and have a bit of a fun. Hopefully, this will be the genesis of a Garrison Rugby Team that can compete in the Edmonton Rugby Union in the summer.
So far Sigs and Svc Bn have committed to providing a team - for all of the rest of you, your COs and Ops O all received a version of the above message, but the word doesn't seem to be gatting out.
Ready to answer all questions.
