With seasons ticket holder packages arriving on doorsteps and the first game less then a week away it’s time for a quick roundup of RPB related items that are in progress.

Seattle Away Viewing Parties

This year we are hosting two official viewing parties for the opener against Seattle. The first is at our everyday home during the season Shoeless Joes  at King & Dufferin (1189 King Street West). We expect quite a few people there and we’ll be warming up our vocal cords for the season starting at 2:30PM

The KW Chapter folks will also be kicking off the season right and hosting a viewing party at their home away from home Failte Irish Pub in Waterloo, Ontario. So if you can’t make it to Toronto and are in the area drop by and watch it with all of our amazing members from KW.

Just a reminder these viewing events are not members only and are open to EVERYONE so if you are interested in getting to know us get out there. If you are dropping by and are new get in touch with us on Twitter and we’ll be sure to try to make you feel at home.

Home Opener March!!

March 22nd is quickly approaching and we invite everyone to come down to Shoeless Joes before the game for a few pints and to get your voices ready. We will be leaving at 3:15PM to stretch our legs and lungs and march to BMO with fellow supporters. Everyone is welcome bring your voices and if you have flags make sure those are ready!
