The women’s University Atlantic finals are this weekend at SMU, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A grey “Roots” sweatshirt was left at one of our gyms this weekend and was returned to us. If this is your shirt, please contact Crystal Peach (jollybean (at) hotmail (dot) com).

The registrations and gym locations have been posted for the February tournament. Check the registrations page to see where you and your team is playing.

Note to Competitive teams, if you have any new players playing on your team this month you need to get those players names to Sophie (Sophie [dot] Pitre-Arseneault [at] dfo-mpo [dot] gc [dot] ca) so she can get them on the list at the Stad entry.

Also, the CVNS executive is looking for someone to help with the Court Rep duties for Super Rec A. Duties involve a monthly meeting to discuss any issues in your division, as well as some help with setting up and taking down the nets at the end of the tournament. It is very important that we fill this position ASAP, otherwise, there is a chance the Super Rec A division will have to cease play until someone is found. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact Kevin Reade (readek at eastlink.ca) or John Skelton (johnskelton at accesswave.ca).

Don’t forget that Saturday night after the tournament there will be the annual “Post-February Tournament Party”, as this month, CVNS raises money for KidSport in Nova Scotia. The festivities will begin around 9pm. Drink tickets will be available (in limited supply), so come on out after the tournament for some good times for a good cause!

Sorry for the delay folks, the results from the first tournament of 2010 are in and are as follows…

Competitve
1st place: Zoo Crew
2nd place: Vertical Matrix

Super Rec A
1st place: Mac Attack
2nd place: Gopher Balls

Super Rec B
1st place: Rebels
2nd place: Recyclables

The next tournament is February 6th. It is the annual charity tournament with the funds raised going to KidSport. There will be a gathering the night of the tournament held at our usual stomping grounds, the Argyle.

See you all then!

Gym locations for the first tournament of the new decade have been posted!

Competitive is at Stad once again. Super Rec A play at Sackville High and Super Rec B is at Halifax West. Check the registrations page to see where you’ll be playing.

If the recent storms have got you down, come on out to the Argyle for a “Beat the Winter Blues” social to “warm up”. Note, this won’t an “official” CVNS party (read: no drink tickets), but drink prices will be cheap, and you’ll be able to enjoy the company of your fellow volleyballers, and that’s not too bad!!

The official CVNS party will be next month’s tournament, which is the tournament for charity, where proceeds go to KidSport (http://www.kidsportcanada.ca/).

Have fun out there!

Updated December 2nd

Teams wishing to withdraw from tournaments will please to do so by Tuesday prior to the tournament by 5pm. Sending an email to any member of the executive is the best way to do so. Teams wishing to drop out after Thursday night will still have their cheques cashed as a penalty.

This ensures the best organization for when the tournaments begin on Saturday morning.

This policy will be enforced starting with the first tournament in 2010.

Thank you!
