Albany, NY games

Hey folks.
I'm planning to hold a games in Albany, NY on May 14th. Kind of a decent way for all of the folks in the NE to see where they're at after the off season training and to shake off some of that throwing rust.
I've got a great field right in the city, over an acre, all flat, close parking.
Planning to contest all 9 events. I'd also like to bring along a 2" axle for folks if they want to play with some DL or Overhead stuff. 2 trig set up. We're not going to run the day for speed or anything...but I also would like folks to stay warmed up for the day.
Decent officials are worked out, so throwers should be able to come and do just that, concentrate on their throwing.
All ages, weights and genders welcome. I'll be more than happy to accommodate any classes.
$15 reg fee.....which will cover a t shirt for every entrant registered prior to May 1. I'll also get some trophies/awards with whatever is left over.
PA and ipod dj if no one objects.
Hope to see you all there.

Count me in, I would love to go!

your new job needs to relocate you here, for realz.

you know I'd love to have ya, but a proper rehab is paramount.

great start fellas, pumped to have both Jeff and Mark coming out.

I think I might be interested.  I doubt I will have thrown much but that point but who knows..

yah, I just decided the other day to put this together, I'll have more info on that stuff in a few days.
would love to have ya out.

Jason will the masters group be 40 and over or 45 and over?

 

Hi Jasen, That sounds like a great way to get a little rust off. I am in if I am
off work that weekend.

Hi Jasen,

I am interested in this one. -Amateur division.

John

gosh, if Doc Bill is coming, I might have to also.

We've lost so many games in the northeast. It's inspiring to have one added!

Put me in as a definate maybe.  Perhaps Nancy, Tchukki & I can do a road trip!

-Denise

The Shedricks are in!! Looking forward to the start of the season.

Do you have any more info regarding the 14th? start time, address for the fee & location. Spent a year in Troy in the 80's & haven't been back to Albany since. I may have to go over the bridge & see if the the South end is still open.

@CNorth.....drove by the South End the other day, looked to be about the same as it has the last 20 years. The Ladies entrance still exists.

$15 per, start around 9ish, 3 trigs, lots of throws, no festival.....all athletics, all events. Will try and round up some extra gear to play with if time permits.

Tivoli Park

Its about 2 acres that's real easy to get to and pretty flat.

I'll have registration stuff up in about a week, and anyone registered prior to May 7 will be guaranteed a T with their entry.

We've got lots of officials, so I'm hoping no one has to pull tape between throws or mark in the field.....at least that's the goal.

I'm pretty sure Don Stewart will be there in all his awesomeness to verify and make sure everything is as legit as it can be.

Most implements will be newish, either Old Celt or a Landrich creation.

My WFH and Sheaf standards may be kinda unconventional.

As you can see from above, we've got lots of great athletes coming, and more that I've been in touch with via the FB. So it should be a great first games and every class will be accommodated.

Hey, Jasen. I met you last year at Glasgowlands (Tom).

The Gnome told me about your games on May 14th. I'll be there.

Hi Hapy, the gauntlet is down! Jasen, it is looking much more likely that I will
come. Lots of throws sounds like my kind of a great time.
