1) Novice Tournament

We have six teams confirmed for the Central Canadian Novice Championships at York University. For all those attending we will be leaving from Residence Commons at 10am tomorrow morning. Please don't be late. We will be stopping somewhere on the 401 for lunch and should get to York at about 4pm. On the Friday night there will be a variety of options for the social and one of them is dodgeball. For those who would be interested in playing dodgeball, bring gym cloths with you. Saturday will be slightly more formal in regards to dress so bring some nicer cloths. Dinner on Saturday won't be provided so bring some money and we will all go out to eat somewhere. On Sunday we will leave York at around 3:30 and should get back to Ottawa at about 9:30pm. One final note, bring a travel mug for coffee or tea, you'll want it!
