Players Wanted

March 5, 2022.  We wanted to give you all a head's up that Mojos are looking for players for the Bill Drew Memorial Soccerfest tournament up in Victoria BC. Even though it's a pretty casual tournament (no hardware for the victors), it's one of the best soccer events around.

The Mojo organizers asked us to reach out to all the FC77 teams.
They are looking for players for their O48, O55, and O60 teams. Here is the link if this interests you:

"Robust Testing" In UK Postpones Fall Tour

   Instead of departing Sept. 10, 2021, we're now looking at next year. There was commitment by enough FC77 members, but the travel testing procotols overseas were just a bridge too far for this fall.    Read trip details here.
   The official Friendship Tour web page is here.

For those who think web sites and even blogs are hopelessly old fashioned, your Club also has a FC77 Facebook page. Is Tik Tok next?

La Paz 2022 Tournament Postponed To Next Year!

  January 26, 2022. Two teams from FC77 were set to compete; our host teams in La Paz were looking forward to the tourney ahead. Then - Omicron. The local government decided that they would close all sports fields for the duration.

But many of the travelers from the O60 and O65 teams from Portland are resiliant folks. Our guy in La Paz, Mike Calder, is still hosting most of the players for an exhausting itinerary of swimming with the whale sharks, day kayaking trips, golfing, poker games, beach time, visiting a vineyard, etc.

So once again Covid crimps the soccer part of our Baja plans. But intense vacationing will be a worthy replacement. And we have great hopes for next year, based on the two-team response for 2022.
Thanks again to Mike for all the effort he has put in to make this happen.
