FishPond BLogFriday, 2 March 2007
Things have really started to get going for The Fish over the last few days and I can't wait for our first proper softball tournament in Glasgow, which will be in May unfortunately as the Fish aren't going to the Edinburgh Indoor Softball (but we'll be playing as the Surfin' Cents for the last time ever) and we're not going to the Mets Pre-Season Firstball Softball tourney as I'm taking a Thunder team.
So we've got our website up and running which is looking pretty cool now at www.manchesterfish.net. I really like the blog idea and I hope that other members of the team will take advantage and post their own entries as well. The gallery seems to be working although I've not really tested it much and the player profiles are coming along too. This evening I've added a search function - which will search the standard pages and the blog pages but I'm not sure about the gallery, but that's not too much of a problem as the gallery has its own search built in.
Last week we got our team logo put onto a t-shirt by KC-Workwear and it looks fantastic, I can't wait to see the finished shirts, but that's going to be a couple of weeks away yet as we need to get people to decide on their Fish Names and the shirts have to be ordered in bulk. We also picked out the caps and hoodies that we're going to get done as well. I can see me spending a lot of money on softball kit this year and that's even before I start looking at gloves and bats!
Aside from the website and kit we're actually getting people signed up to play which is great! Our first tournament at Glasgow is a long way off but I think we've pretty much got a full line up already - although there are always last minute changes. We are planning on going to the following slow pitch softbal tournaments in 2007

- Glasgow Tartan Tournament - May 26/27
- Bristol Rec Tournament - August 18/19
- Edinburgh Festiball Tournament - 25/26 August
- Solent Lastball Tournament - TBC
- Softball 'D Nationals' - TBC
So a pretty packed line up of tournaments, we won't be doing the Manchester Tournament because people will probably be playing for their own teams as it's our local tournament and the Fish is meant to be a touring softball team.
