Debrief for last Saturday's Reds game

I just received a call from the organisers regarding last Saturday's Reds game:
  • Firstly, apologies for sending us all the way to Caxton street for a parade that never happened. The parade indeed had been organised and was supposed to be kicked off by the Normanby hotel. However they failed to get the Reds fans out of there for some reason, so there was no parade. I have been assured we won't be asked to do this again.
  • I asked about Gail's top - no such thing has been found unfortunately
  • Between us, we still must have 3 BMA red tops. If you have one could you please return to me asap.
  • Alcohol - a small bottle of rum was found in the entertainers' room afterwards, disguised in a bottle of mouthwash or something. As the room is shared between many entertainers, it has not been suggested that we brought that in. However I have been ask to pass on the message that bringing alcohol into the stadium is absolutely forbidden and could land you in all kind of trouble.
  • It has been noted that the 'north-south' thing does not quite work that well when we only have 10 people. To be reviewed.
Also, if you're not playing this Saturday, could you please return your (washed) Reds top to me this Thursday as we'll need to give this potentially to other players.

Thanks again to everyone who played this Saturday, I know it was a long day and I appreciate your help very much.

Finally, still don't have enough numbers for coming Saturday (in fact we're going backwards). Please let me know if you can play. If we don't have 10 people the whole season is at risk...

Re. ..."It has been noted that the 'north-south' thing does not quite work that well when we only have 10 people. To be reviewed."

I wonder if we could borrowed 5 Reds fans on each team, give them an instrument each and follow our sambistas making noise. "North-South" thing are easy to follow.Should sound big.

Asking the samba school to commit more than 10 people is a bit much. We have around 14 regulars at the moment aren't we ?

No they are not asking for more than 10. They are hoping for it though :-)

And no I'm not going to make an extra effort augmenting our fine percussionists with 'followers'. If they want more they'll need to ask for it, then we see.

About 25 regulars, not 14. But needs to grow as we've lost a few.
