Boatball this Wednesday, July 24 starting at 6:00 PM at Chambers Springs Road access of Illinois River.

Also, you'll have plenty of time & available help if you want to work on your roll during breaks from play. No fee, no membership required & no need to worry about cleaning of boat / gear to participate.

Please take the time to post up if you can make it out.

Directions: Take Hwy 412 headed west from Springdale towards Siloam Springs. After the second bridge that crosses the Illinois you will get in the next left turn lane which will be Chamber Springs Road. There is a metal buiding with a big sign "Riverside Fireworks" where you turn. Head south on dirt road approximately 200 yards and you will arrive at parking lot for access. Put in your boat there & paddle up river of the bridge (which will be to your left facing river ... kind of hard to tell without much current ) & you will find us in the next pool up river from the bridge. If you need something to plug into your GPS here is address for Riverside Fireworks, where you turn onto the dirt: 17023 Chamber Springs Rd, Siloam Springs AR 72761. Hope this helps you find us.

Anne and I are not expecting to be able to make it, given the way our days are going. Will update around 3-ish if that changes...

Two more players are in:

Tracy McFetridge

Rob (didn't get his last name).

Going to be fantastic weather for a game! Don't miss out.

Please post up if you can make it out so we can get a solid head count of players (this helps prevent folks, some of which drive a good distance, from spending gas money & time driving out for a game only to get there and find out we don't have enough players for a decent game). Thanks for taking the time to post up!

Fun game last night with 9 players total.

Three first timers to boatball in the group: Adam, Toni (Adams wife) & Rob. They seemed to be naturals at the game first time out of the chute.

Thanks' to the other players that made it out for a lively evening of boatball (Tracy, Pierce, Mo, Dylan, & Magic Mike in his radical solo canoe)

Toni and I had a blast, although I bet it takes her muscles a few days to recover. We'll be back for sure.

Boatball rocks! I'm hooked after only 2 times. Anyone who has been thinking about it should come on out next time. It's a great workout with lots of laughs!-M-
