[Montrose]

A few things to update you all:
- It hasn't been officially announced, but we'll be doing it soon, there's plans for a charity match between a mishmash of the 3 scottish teams the weekend before the vote. Volunteer basis only so don't worry nobody is obligated, it's only if you're interested. More details to come, I promise.
[OOC: I'm assuming Montrose ownership has been talked to before this otherwise he wouldn't have written it]
- Jason's got his annual broom race Solstice Sprint tomorrow (starts 15:41 at sunset in Portree), all the best of luck to you Jason!
- Take the time to relax and have fun this break, but please come back in a single piece and don't do anything that'll give PR a heart attack
- I'll be out of country from Christmas Day. So I'm best reached through journals.

And I won't be able to say this at the Christmas Party so I'll do it in writing.

Spare us all some embarrassment:
We've a half season behind us and I know it's been quite a year, lots of rebuilding, lots of ups and downs. But you've all come through it admirably and it's been a pleasure both to work with you all and see you each grow during even just this brief part of the season.

And look at us, only team left in this league with a perfect undefeated record!

Couldn't be prouder of all of you, both individually and as the team you're becoming. You've done wonderfully.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, and enjoy your break.

I'll see you all at the Christmas Party.

[Florrie]
Nearly forgot to tease you about your Great Love Cavallero (thank the intern for showing me that article). So this is a no for him coming for Christmas?

Speaking of, this year I think we're going to visit the MacFusty side before Christmas. Mainly so we can grab a portkey to Brazil at the end of Christmas Day and still catch Gabi's family for dinner.

She's miraculously managed to put up with me through this year and I want to find a way to thank her for it. Even if it means going through two Christmases.

[Gabi]
I have to tell you this surprise because it's not exactly something I can spring on you last minute but I hope you like it nonetheless:

Double Christmas. Christmas Day with mum, then portkey that night to Brazil in time for Christmas dinner with yours. We'll have to get the littles taking a mid-day nap so they can take the long day and time shift but...how does it sound?

This isn't the volunteering entry yet!

But when it does go up I'll be sure to point you towards it so you don't miss out.

Technically, the Solstice Sprint is tomorrow and the Annual Broom race is in March, and in Sweden.

They are projecting start time at 15:40. So, I will likely be missing the holiday party, but everyone is welcome to join the festivities at the basin around midnight and into the wee hours of the morning.

My apologies! I'll correct it.

It's more important than the party anyway. I'm sure we'll wrangle someone into turning on the wireless so we can follow along with how you're doing.

It's been great to be out there, cheerfully destroying the opposition as always.

How much do you bet that Wigtown would see it as a huge insult to field one of our reserves before their starter? They seem...prickly this year.

They're also not doing very well this year.

Luckily this is going to be on a first come first serve volunteer system and we'll do a draw to see who's on which team. That way they can't be insulted and start giving us problems.


Even if I would field our reserves over their starters if I was going by skill.

What is the charity for, Coach? Is it only a match for Scottish people or can I also play?

I also am very proud of the team and happy to be here.

It's not! The match is mostly about promoting people to vote on a question about Scotland's place in the Ministry, hence using the Scottish teams. You're more than welcome to volunteer!

As for the charities, I don't know the details but I've heard that it at least involves one of the services that helps older witches and witches get to the polls.

We're very happy to have you, Georgi. And looking forward to seeing more of you flying for us!

The intern showed me the article! I need to ward Cav.

He and I have been out a few times; it's not serious enough to merit introductions. And if he is dating other girls, I'm not heartbroken. Also I'm fine with seeing the MacFusty side on Christmas Eve if that makes it easier on Gabi. I have all the gifts ready anyhow.

Tell him mum expects him there and is prepared! (No of course not, she's long ago stopped reading gossip papers)

Well good. If you were actually heartbroken at him dating other girls then that'd mean something else. Or perhaps a chat with him...

Not easier as much as I wanted to surprise her.

Don't worry, sir, always on my best behaviour. [Ada's drawn a small winking face.] Besides I think aside from a bit of a break Alasdair and I will probably be using this as prime opportunity to get some of the work on our house done.

It's certainly been some year, and... well, thank you to Montrose for taking me on and making me feel welcome.

Oh you're at the bottom of my 'worry about' list! And best of luck with the renovations, I always find them so tedious and endless.

Of course! We're happy to have you and you've been a brilliant addition, Ada. Couldn't have asked for more!

Good news team! I'll still be here and while it won't be a full practice schedule, Coach has asked me to make sure everyone keeps ready during the break. We won't let Macmillan Park Practice Stadium feel lonely over the holidays...

Well looks like you lot will be worked hard, I hear Gregor is quite the terrifying task master!

But make sure you take a break, lad. Enjoy your holiday and time with the niece.

Show her around the club rooms and impress her little friends even. Easy best uncle points.
