As she says there will be a few faces you recognize even some with hair. As you can see by Duncan Pages stance it was before he had the hemeroids off.
We got a note from George Hendrie telling us that he will be at the brunch. A great letter from Tim (Master) Bates that I will post at an other time. Pat Russell, Mike Purdy responded and we got a nice letter from Tom Beckett who has offered to promote the Saracen's at the local clubs in Newfoundland. Tom, a scrum half seems to have lost his way, he just informed me that he is a member of the Opimian Wine Society. A wine society on the rock does Stompin Tom Conners know about this?
But the one I like is below. I like it because of the way he starts it. "I'm a Saracen" I like that because if you were one you always will be one. Saracen that is. Here is his offer of assitance.
I'm a Saracen who played from about 1985 to 1995 - during the period of Saracen history that included the likes of Sam MacCoubrey [hope I spelled that right], Tim Gardiner, Andy Wright and Dave Miller - during the period of the infamous "bucket house" on Lawrence Ave W.
I don't really play Rugby anymore - health problems - though quite frankly I could never really play rugby anyway. But I've been in touch with some of the alums - including my brother Peter Hadas and occasionally a few of the other Saracens at events when I pass through town.
I am now living in Japan in Tokyo, where I work for a Japanese mobile/web video production company, and may be able to spread the Saracen word to a few of the Japanese clubs here. Rugby is a huge sport here [though the Japanese national teamresults would send a different message] and I'd love to dowhat I can to recruit Japanese players who go to Toronto for work or permanent relcations. I do speak Japanese, so I can rty o get together with the rugby clubs here to spread the word.
Let me know if you have any suggenstions for drawing in recruits.
Take Care,
Mike Hadas
