Variants

Hello all,

Paul McNeil found this cooler on the bleachers at Charleswood 1 after a practice about 4:15 yesterday.

Since it had some beers in it, and alcohol is prohibited on City diamonds, of course there is no way it could belong to anyone in our league. But perhaps one of you knows the non-league person who left it there.

If so…have them contact Paul McNeil at Paul.McNeil85@GMail.com….!

Cheers – no, strike that…Best Regards,

League:

Today was a good day! A VERY good day.

The AHS announcement today means we’ll soon be playing ball again. Your Board had a plan ready for this day, and we are ready to throw the switch and move forward. Here is that plan:

June 14 Registration closes
June 21/22 Mandatory evaluation sessions for new players 2020 and 2021
June 23 AAA draft
June 24 Dayball draft
June 25 AA draft
June 27 A draft
June 28-July 2 Practice week
July 1 Umpire clinic
July 5 Regular season begins

The season will run into September in order to maximize the number of games and we will finish off with a tournament at Charleswood/Triwood, rather than playoffs.

The Province of Alberta expects to be without any significant COVID restrictions by July 1st, (Stage 3). We expect to be able to do all the preparatory work under Stage 2 after mid-June.

If you have been hanging back, wanting to wait and see what the status of the pandemic in Alberta, or the provincial restrictions will be, we encourage you to now register through the website or contact John Schmidt.

Further information, for instance about times and locations, will be forthcoming as we get closer.

But it was a VERY good day.

Hello all,

Again this summer, the Triwood Community Centre is going to have an on-site Farmer’s Market every Tuesday afternoon from 3:00pm to 6:00pm through the end of September.

The market is growing rapidly and this year will have 35 different awesome vendors, selling meat, eggs, fruit, vegetables, honey, tea, coffee, miscellaneous essentials and lots of creative stuff made by talented people.

Best of all, JT’s restaurant will be open for concession-style ice cream June 1-14 from 4:00pm to 9:00pm, and ice cream is FREE on opening market day June 1st.

Drop by an check it out on Tuesdays, especially if your right next door playing ball!

The Triwood Community Centre is a great supporting partner to the Calgary Senior Men’s Slo-pitch League. Let’s all make a big effort to support them right back.

Hello League,

The lock box at the Triwood diamond has been cleaned out and a number of personal items have been recovered. They include:

• A set of keys with proxy fobs and a tag labelled ‘GYMVMT.’
• A blue windbreaker stitched with ‘Senior Softball’ and ‘Art.’
• A black ‘Ultimate Fighting Championship’ sweatshirt.
• A pair of white batting gloves (likely golf gloves).
• Two short, wooden fungo bats.
• A metal sculpture of a boy swinging a bat.

If any of these belong to you, contact Gary Paukert at gary.paukert@gmail.com. The items will be thrown out if not claimed by June 1st.

Best,

Gary
