I eventually got tired of digging out the 'old one'
(http://tinyurl.com/9s5fk) and besides, there are some 'orrible typos
in there..., so I thought it's time to start a new thread especially to
inform any lurking South African unicyclists about the state and
activities of organised (sic) UniHoki in South Africa.
Our venue is:
- Rangers In-Line Hockey Rink
- c/o Boundary- and Short Street
- Linden
- (The old Linden Tennis Club
- Opp. Linden Police Station)
Maps 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/dcswo).
It being the Southern Hemisphere summer at the moment, we meet at 15h30
for a 16h00 start to the game so we miss the worst of the day's heat.
The cost is still R25 per player (it's been R25 for 18 months now) with
spectators welcome to join us at no charge. A very basic cash bar
(beers/coolers) is available as is a tuck shop (chips and coldrinks).
For more inspirational victuals, feel free to BYO.
Please bring two T-Shirts; one (mostly) black and one (mostly) white.
This helps with telling the teams apart.
There are normally a couple of spare sticks floating around. If you
want to pick up your own, you should be able to find some floating
around your neighbourhood Cash Converters, Cash Crusaders or local 2nd
Hand Shop. Don't pay much more than R50, and less if they have plastic
heads. JohnJ normally has some plastic head cheapies he sells at R25.
We normally manage to play thru untill 19h00-ish and we play every
second Sunday. During 2006 we might look at going weekly, but time will
tell.
You can join us irrespective of your skill level. Even if you can't
ride yet, there are a couple of extra Tennis- and Basketball courts
that make for wonderfull practise areas. If you can stay on the uni for
about 5 pedal revolutions, you're fit to play. Your main value to your
team may only be your ability to get in the way occasionally (while on
your uni, of course) but this will change as your riding-skill
increases exponentially.
The main reason for starting this thread today is to announce our
-*YEAREND YOONEEHOKI EXTRAVAGANZA! *-
on this Sunday the 18th of December.
We're planning an Ox on the spit, vegetarian dancing girls and feral
rabbit kebabs served with lashing of green salad and tankards of mead.
(No, not really, but we're having a lot of fun in the planning
meetings.)
We are however gathering quite a crowd of unihokiers together and it
promises to be a fine way to wrap up the year.
If you're in the general Gauteng area, please feel free to drop by.
(With Friday the 16th[2moro]being a public holiday, I won't be checking
my mail or this board till Monday so if you need any futher info, come
ask me on Sunday.)
