The Golden Neep IC

Sign of adulthood: getting fitted for robes for the Montrose Christmas Party instead of being told to go to bed.

Weird, weird, weird.

Do you want to crash the party?

Just after 4, Graham calls the meeting to order.

“So, First of all, I want to congratulate everyone on a very good first half of the season. We had rough spots, but we played well against our rivals and are on a good trajectory for the playoffs. We’ll have that and the Neep coming up, so the second half should also be exciting.

“There’s not really a lot to cover, but I didn’t want anyone to feel we had unresolved issues. We’ll discuss the agenda items and then we can open up the flor for last minute items after we hit the planned discussions.

[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.

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?

Who: Shona McGonagall and Aureliana Abercrombie
What: Shona and Aureliana talk business and sympathize.
When: Sometime mid-December, post-joint team conversation re: friendly mixed match.
Where: Shona’s office
Warnings: None!

( I would remind you that finding a head coach would be much more difficult than someone for PR. )
