[Montrose/Portree/Wigtown]

Most of you haven't heard since this is a new thing but the Scottish teams are planning a charity match before the Referendum vote coming up. We're looking to promote voting, raise a bit for charity, and give the fans something fun to watch.

It will be one match with two mixed teams from all three of our Scottish teams. I will be coaching one side and the Portree coach is taking the other, and the playing is on a volunteer basis. It doesn't affect your record, stats, nothing. It's for a bit of fun and a good cause and getting to play with a different set of players and with a different coach for a bit.

Rosters and lineups are determined from a first come volunteer basis, and then which team you end up on is a random ballot draw once we have enough volunteers. So please volunteer here!

The match is currently planned for Jan 13th. We have no intentions of cutting into your vacation time so we'll only start doing practices a week before the match.

Please note: Anyone participating will need the all clear from their team's medic before being allowed.

[OOC: Let's start with one volunteer per player and if there's more space we up it to 2!]

[Also if you don't have a player and want one for a short bit: Wigtown NPCs! Here's the NPC sheet with the names!]

Alright lass, go volunteer yourself now before the Wigtown lot dive in!

Never was a truer word spoken. Or sung.

[Coach]
I take your point. Maybe next year I'll follow your example and head south.

Yeah, I know. This time of year is rough for him. Our dad died suddenly the winter of our fourth year, and Christmas has been specially hard for him since. I always do keep an eye on him. But I reckon he'll be all right by the time we come back in the new year.

[...] I understand the feeling ~~more than~~. My worry is more about a discussion we had in which I'm afraid I couldn't agree to something he wanted and he seemed to take it badly. Whether that's just exacerbating the usual holiday feelings or I stepped on something else entirely, I'm not sure. But I wouldn't comfortable leaving him like that without having someone else check in on him.

	Well, I don't know about any of that, he never mentioned it to me. What was it he wanted? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wanted...a clear season run. To be played for every match this season, Cannons included, so he could have his career goal. (Reply to this) (Parent)
