Come along to Princes Park after work on Tuesday night for a few quiet beers. If you're feeling a little active a few of us have started playing Ultimate Frisbee, so feel free to jump in on the action of just torment us with cold ones on the sideline.

Read the Frisbee Fitness Action group post for more details. Hope to see you all there!

Club veteran David Warwick and his lovely wife Kate are pleased to announce the arrival of their second child over the weekend. Callum popped in a few days earlier than expected at 8.08pm on Saturday night and tipped the scales at 7lb 9oz. Callum's very settled and healthy, and Kate's great.

A few of us have recently hit some milestones (like turning 30) and are realising that fitness isn't a given like it once was, it actually takes a bit of work. Unfortunately, laziness means that heading out for a run or gym session isn't going to happen as much as it should, and in the meantime the off season spare tyre is constantly inflating.

Renegades playing volleyball in the nude!

...ok, so nobody's actually playing nude volleyball (though there have been persistent rumors of some related shenanigans on an old volleyball ski trip), but unless people give back their tops ASAP we will be!

My housemate Ben (not volleyball-related what so ever) and I are organizing a “Housewarming and Citizenship celebration party” on the 25th of October at our place in 98a Elgin street, Carlton. (the house is just down the alley, follow the noise). Thats right, soon I'll be singing Waltzing Mathilda, get drafted for the ANZAC and make a jury appearance in court as an Aussie.

Between Gus and myself, we have been trying to work out when the Men's 'first' team last tasted finals success. I joined the club in 1983 and then made the first team in 1988. As my memory stands, I watched two losing grand finals from '83 to '87 and played in three losses from '88 to '93.
