SCHOOL CLOSINGS !

[Peter Matteson]

Every year we have several meeting cancelled due to snow. Last year we even had a meeting cancelled due to a bomb threat at the High where we meet. This stuff happens and is uncontrollable. We've learned to live with it and make up the time later here in the Northeast.

In one well publisized and discussed instance in 2007 we had school cancelled on the Friday of the Connecticut regional, The kids prents drove them to the event and we were competing until the Superintendent of schools found out the kids were there and sent a message that if the kids continued to participate they would be suspended. At least one other team has this issue as well. To prevent our kids from getting in trouble we borrowed the drive team from our friends Aces High to finish our matches for the day without getting DQ's and hurting our alliance partners.
