Practice match round-up

Apr 27, 2008, 7:29 am

Well, the first Inter-squad match of the year is out of the way with the white team completely destroying the dark team by a score of ... who's kidding who, we didn't keep score, but everyone got a touch of the footy with the new guys learning a few things about the game. Afterwards, Matty was gracious enough to provide his house for "beer and video training" (thanks Tam) and the rules of the game were explained in confusing detail until eyes started to glaze over. Well done boys.

Keep your eyes on the website and your e-mail as we decide if the weather is fit enough to train on Tuesday night.

Lights Out Saturday March 29th @ 8:00pm for Earth Hour.

Mar 25, 2008, 4:54 pm

The Guelph Gargoyles are proud to support this event. What started in Sydney, Australia last year has now gone Global. Join up here http://www.earthhour.org/

The team are encouraged to participate as are all our friends, families and supporters. Be careful not to burn down your house with the candles you light as Chris Cunning (the teams coach and local Guelph firefighter) wants a quiet night.

Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

About Earth Hour On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby
