2003-Jun-13Woodbine light key

If you haven’t yet picked up this year’s key for the lighted field at Woodbine, please contact Maureen immediately to make arrangments. The key for the Caton’s fields has not changed since last year, but we expect to get a new key for the lights at Caton’s in the near future.

Kingston’s Department of Parks and Recreation now has an answering service that you may call after 3:00 pm to find out if games on their soccer fields have been canceled due to bad weather: 544-2075.

Please note: the city can cancel games only on Caton’s 1, Caton’s 2, Woodbine 4, and the St. Lawrence College field. The Italo Club and Gananoque fields are not under their control.

The GKKSA wishes to thank Dan Roberts and his freshly assembled team for filling the vacancy in the B Division when the Cataraqui Clippers I team failed to materialize the day before the season started.
