Another exciting night in a Montreal PUB!!



12 Bars of Christmas
Saturday, December 20th

Make sure you read through the rules first
Guest of Honor: JS Bleau


McKibbin's Irish Pub
Cheers
Grumpys
O'regans
Irish Embassy
Cro Bar
Brutopia
Mad Hatters
Ye Olde Orchid
Thursday
Ziggy Pub
Irish Embassy

Note: At any time during a transition from one place to the other a snowball fight may accure (be prepared, snow or not). And the obivous, apparently necessary stop to BOUSTAN for a food break.

Rules

Every guest must buy the guest of a honor a minimum of one drink at some point during the evening. It can be WHATEVER drink the purchaser wants and the guest of honor MUST drink it regardless of what it is or when it is given to it.

Should the official golf ball find its way into your beverage, you must finish your drink promptly (ie Chug).

No covers of any kind may be placed on any drink at any time to prevent entry of the golf ball

There will be a whistle bearer. The whistle bearer is responsible for three things
     a.  To decree a rule for the bar that he or she is in power. This rule can involve drinks, food, general attitude Lets see people get creative here.
     b.  The whistle bearer must decide when to leave the bar by blowing the whistle. When to do so is at his discretion. However, if a bar is crap dont be a douche and blow the fucking whistle
     c. The whistle bearer must choose his successor. The exchange of whistles is done at the exit of the bar.

The evening showed to be quite a success, besides the guest of honor getting "lost" before the last bar...

Captain's Dinner 2006


A message from South Korea...
Every now and then I check out the tmr site (okay - maybe twice a year but better than nothing) to get some updates and view some pics. I thought it was time to give some news.

First of all, I want to say that there was nothing in the world better than getting together with TMR RUGBY on Saturdays to do damage around the league, the downtown area, and eventually, our livers. Getting back to the clubhouse was equally fun and i miss all those bbq's. it's so weird to have been a part of something special for so long and yet now be so far away and out of touch. TMR rugby ruled my life for the longest time. I still have the memories though, great ones too!

I'm enjoying life in south Korea (hopefully we won't get nuked by north Korea). Korea is treating me well. The one thing i enjoy a lot is the food. And the one thing that drives me insane are the drivers. If you thought Montreal had crazy drivers, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Since getting married in 2003 a lot of changes have happened. My son Brendan is now almost 2 years old and is keeping me busy. He's quite the little athlete and soon i will start him up on rugby. Things have been pretty hectic and I'm trying to juggle teaching at the university, working on my masters and family life.

I played rugby for the Daegu dragons for a couple of years. We toured the country playing military teams and other amateur clubs. The great thing about rugby is you can keep playing it until your bones get too brittle, and in my case, i almost blew out my knee. My back, my shoulder, my brain... i think i've finally hung up my boots. i must say it was fun running around all these big american military boys.

I hope to come back and visit with my beautiful wife and son next summer. if i do make it back then i'll make sure to visit the club house.

Finally, a big hello to everyone! to all the members past and present, young and old, here and there - especially to the boys who I played with for so long. And to Bob Swail for waiting 6 years for me to pay him back my share of the motel bill (Saranac 2000).

Best of luck to everyone for the upcoming season! See you soon.

Cheers,
Freddy

PS - You guys should go and visit my bro at 'le pistol' on St-Laurent. He'd love to see ya all!

Be Generous to a member of the TMR Family

Imagine that you had one last evening with Pascal... to grab meal and enjoy a couple of cocktails. Consider making a contribution to help with Lisa and Charlie's current needs based on what you would have spent on one last evening with Pascal. If you're budget for that evening would have been La Queue de Cheval and a night enjoying the dancing at Chez Pare, let that be your guide. If you're budget for that evening would have been the Bar-B-Barn and a couple of beers at Ziggy's, then let that be your guide. If you're a student and all you could have afforded was a couple of dogs at Decarie Hot Dog and a pint back at the clubhouse, then let that be your guide.

The amounts each person gives will remain anonymous, so just let your heart be your guide.

Thank you in advance.

I will be at the Captain's Dinner if you want to hook up with me then.
You can also send a cheque made out to my name to...
