GCFPC WEEKLY UPDATE
Game 7 – Ursinus College
Still alive in the hunt for the Centennial Conference championship and having beaten or proven that they can go toe-to-toe with the best in the Conference, the Bullets travel to Collegeville, PA for a show-down with the Ursinus Bears this Saturday.
NUTS AND BOLTS OF ATTENDING THE URSINUS GAME:
NUTS AND BOLTS OF ATTENDING THE URSINUS GAME: Directions to Ursinus can be found on the Ursinus Website.
This weekend is Homecoming at Ursinus. This, combined with a whole lot of construction on campus at UC, will be a challenge for parking and our attempt at tailgating. The following is the UC’s athletic director’s response to our request for tailgating space (it provides directional advice and reflects how tailgating will be difficult to carry out):
“Over the past year we have had quite a campus transformation. Major construction and a new campus plan have eliminated the campus drive. No one can go from one entrance to the other. All visitor parking must come off of 9th avenue not 5th. Travel up main street to 9th avenue and turn right and go 200 yards and turn right into the college. Make a left into our new parking area. That is the only place you will be able to go. We have 4 home events, plus it is our homecoming which means parking will be at a premium. Please advise your parent group to cooperate with the new parking configuration. You will actually be parking behind the new field house and to get to the football field you will have to walk around the building on the small emergency road. Thank you for your cooperation and let's hope for good weather.”
[Editorial comment: let’s hope for a Gettysburg win to dampen U.C.’s Homecoming!]
Let’s hope we can get by this inconvenience and meet somewhere in the mess of things before the game!!!
LAST FRIDAY’S GAME: Congratulations to Chris Halleman and Harold Barton for their Centennial Conference “Outstanding Performances” awards, offensively and defensively, against Hopkins. Also, we should have mentioned in last week’s email Nate Smith’s Conference-breaking record against McDaniel of a fifth career kick-off return touchdown.
We hope not too many of us relied on the JHU concession stand for food last Friday (as we suggested would be decent), as the “faire” clearly “tanked” since the last time we were there. Well, at least JHU’s new field turf replaced the old “Astroturf” / pool table surface.
VOLUNTEERS: Once again, we are still looking for folks willing to help out with merchandise sales with a view toward taking over this job next year from the Edgars. This is a critical position for our Club. You do not need to live near Gettysburg to do this job so long as you attend the home games -- and the time commitment is not overwhelming. We’re also looking for other new leaders elsewhere for next year – starting in a "shadow" position this year would be very helpful. We are close to DRAFTING people on this, so please step forward. The future of the Parents Club is at issue here.
Some families have requested copies of game tapes. These can be made available, but only if someone volunteers to do the leg work to coordinate duplication, ordering, etc., as the coaches are not in a position to do this.
MEMBERSHIP: If you have not yet completed a membership form and paid dues for the Parents Club, please do so right away – let us know if you need a membership form and we will email you one.
BULLETS JACKETS: Through Kelly Jones, team equipment manger, we have an opportunity to order team jackets – "just like the players wear." If you are interested in this, please let us know with a response to this email.
J.V. SCHEDULE: Monday Oct. 24 (3:30 p.m.) at Lebanon Valley
