Month: July 2020

Meet at the first basket at 6pm.

We have a task force looking at playing ultimate with virus friendly rules. USA Ultimate complicates this.

It is guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed that there will be less wind this Tuesday, than last beach night. I will bet that with any odds!

Parking remains a risk factor with the non-resident parking lot still closed. Near the intersection of Hookset Rd. there are a couple of establishments which are not open on Tuesdays, or in the evening. That is where we have been parking. Bob went extra safe and parked in Hampton and walked the bridge to play. Starting play at 5:30 worked great to get to Markeys before their 8pm closing time. See you at the beach !!!

The golfers (diskers?) have it.

See you at Muldoon Park in Pelham NH at 6pm Tuesday July 14th

First off, we have enough players for the alternating Tuesdays, “Low Tide Tuesdays”, to play at Seabrook Beach. The public parking lot was still closed as of last Tuesday, however, there were a few establishments, which are closed on Tuesday evenings, near the Hooksett Road intersection where we all parked. Markeys closes at 8pm, so, we started ultimate at 5:30. I promise less wind at the beach for the remainder of the summer. Whew!

We have all the approvals to use the Tewksbury field! I don’t know if we have the numbers for a game. Please respond if you are part of the “in” crowd. If there are not enough for a game, we will be at the Disc Golf course at Muldoon Park in Pelham, NH (just across the border). We play with our regular ultimate discs. We play with the same spirit that characterizes our MVUF Ultimate.. we are there for a fun and social time. We don’t keep score. It is really a good time to practice your weaker throws and improve your favorite throws and gossip about the people who are not there 🙂

Please email either the group or me, bill@ankers.org, if you are up for playing at the Tewksbury field this Tuesday July 14th at 6pm (or Frizzbee Golf for that matter).

Most of the storm will be overnight and pretty much gone by noon on Saturday! Whaahoo!

Here’s a repeat of the details:

Time: Saturday July 11th from 1pm on and on
Place: Ankers Pond which shows up on google maps
52 Chase Rd.
Londonderry, NH 03053
cell: 603-965-6563
Food: I’ll have burgers, dogs, kielbasa, condiments, bottled water, soft drinks, some cheap beer. Others of you bring salads, chips, desserts, and whatever else you fancy.
Setting: There is a half acre swimmable pond. Come to get wet. Some like water shoes. Some like sunscreen and bug spray and a sweatshirt if the night gets cool. W e have a long driveway were people park along and park in the front yard. Many will crash in tents, or, find a bed or other spot in the house or car. Don’t drive if you’ve had too much to drink. There will be pancakes and eggs and coffee in the morning. There is no caterer. If something like tomatoes are missing, they are either in the house’s refrigerator, or, in tupperware under a picnic table (where they stayed one year).
Activities: Swimming, zip-line, volleyball, horse shoes, ping-pong, poleish horseshoes, corn hole. If a game is not set up, just do it. If something needs moved, move it.
Caveat: Bringing your dog doesn’t work because too many people have dogs.
Music: The fantastic Not Fade Away Band cannot make it this year. Bring what you got. It’s open mic. I’ll have the PA, microphones, and my guitar.

OK, we are mostly all working from home. With Markey’s closing at 8pm, we need to skip out of our home office and get to the beach by 5:30. Parking may be touchy. As of 2 weeks ago, the non-resident parking lot was closed. Many have parked in the resident side of the parking lot without issue. I suggest parking in the lots of the closed establishments near the Hookset Rd intersection.
This ultimate game is happening for those that don’t fret playing ultimate at this time.

Here’s a copy of what I gave to Phil’s Woburn ultimate group regarding the Summer Party:

Lastly, we are allowed to play on our Tewksbury field! I’ll be there ready to play on Tuesday, July 14th.
