I won't be rejoining as a member. May try to come back if/when my leg feels up to it, but I'd just wait for a time when there are open spots.

George, welcome back when ever you feel up to it. It would be great if all embassy, world bank, IMF etc. peeps could pass the word around.

George, sorry to hear that. So we have 3 slots open and I think Jure and Sam will take two of them, so we have at least one slot open.

I managed to book Pyle for every date through June 18! I booked 2 hours from 8:30 pm except Dec-Mar where it was not available and we start at 9 pm. The price will be $100 or possibly less. I will check the math when I get back to the US this weekend.

Oops, sorry, I forgot about Johan von H, so the three open spots may be taken, but we'll see how it plays out.

The cost is $100. Please send electronically via Zelle, Paypal or Venmo. Use flriii ( at ) gmail. Or you can give me cash (not preferred). I will probably be able to offer a $10 rebate to early payers (by Sep 5) as long as I get enough payments.

p.s. Zelle is a payment system where most banks participate.

My Venmo user name is @Frank-Ross-7. Thanks to Johan M, Zdenek and Stefan for your instant payments!

@frank I Venmod you yesterday.

Hossein, thanks, I will email you directly.

Tero, Pasi, and Henrik S, please send your payments asap, because there is a queue of people who have sent payments. You guys have priority as members last season.

I’m most likely in - still have to confirm after clarity about kids’ sports. Please hold my spot until next week. Pasi

Anyone coming from DC that would possibly scoop me up on their way? I’m in Columbia Heights but can meet at any convenient metro stop. Thanks!

Chandler. I can pick you up at Bethesda Metro Center around 8:20pm. By the bus terminal.

I don't think Hossein will be able to play (?) so we really have 5 sign ups now. Please make an effort to come because this might be the last game of the summer. I have also booked the full 2 hours 20:30-22:30. Pasi? Andreas? Henrik? Jure? Jonas? Anyone else?

BTW, for next season (starting Aug 29) I will try to book 2 hours whenever possible. Bookings at venues other than Pyle often require a 21:00 start time, which means 90 minutes. This will increase the fee to at least $110 or $120. I hope that's not an issue. When the new "first come" system started in 2016 or so, they limited reservations to 90 minutes, but that limit seems to have disappeared.

Also, if you are a member for this season and do not plan to rejoin then pls let me know. I believe that Johan von H, Sam and Jure are planning to join for next year. Jonas? George, you haven't played for a long time, will you be back next season?
