FALL Membership, Open Practice & More!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,
Drake McKee at Practice


Wrestling Season has arrived! Several items have popped up into the news that may interest you, plus we finally have the 2018-19 FALL Club membership form finished.

Open Practice
First up - Final Open Practice this Saturday - and - it will be followed by a free clinic for youth! Your last chance to check out the new team going through a workout in the Dale Thomas Wrestling Room will take place Saturday, Nov. 3 at 3:30.

Free Youth Clinic
When the Beavs finish up their practice, Orange Crush Coach Jason Lara will hold a free clinic on the mats for any youth who are interested. Bring your younger wrestlers along to watch the Beavs go through their paces, then let the little guys take a shot at the action. The clinic will begin around 5:00 pm. The Oregon State football game starts at 7:00 pm.

"The FALL" Fan Club Membership
You've been waiting for this, I know because many have asked me if it has been sent out already. Finally we have the club membership form ready for you. Please get signed up as soon as you can, as we have had a late start this year. The membership form can be found here.

The best and quickest way to sign up is by using the Portal online: https://squareup.com/store/the-fall-fanclub/
Until we get it updated - hopefully very soon - you'll have to fill out last year's form. A couple of notes on the Portal: we no longer sell merchandise through the Portal. At the moment it is still there, but the Board decided to remove those items due to shipping logistics. You can still buys those items at Socials.

It has taken some time to get the letter out because we have been working to keep your costs down. In order to use The Club in Reser, we must deal with certain caterers, and their prices have gone through the roof! This year we will be experimenting with a simplified menu for most Socials and possibly having a couple of Socials with door prizes and a program only. Feel free to let your Board members know what you think about the changes.

Pac-12 Wrestling Start
Pac-12 team Cal State Bakersfield has begun their dual meet season with a pair of duals yesterday. If you'd like to see the results, check out the article on their webpage. Thanks to Craig Scharer for sending me that link!

Sweet Home Wrestling Coach Makes Newspaper
Steve Thorpe, a former Oregon State wrestler, made the local newspaper today for his trip to the World Wrestling Championships in Budapest recently. This is the same tournament that Amar Dhesi wrestled in.
The article is divided between a couple of pages in the paper. Links to both pages are below:
first page of article front page, bottom
second page of article includes a photo of Steve with another former Beaver, Les Gutches. Thanks to my husband, Jack DeAngelis, for sharing this link!

Don't forget - get your FALL Club membership in, and check out the Practice and Clinic tomorrow!

Go Beavs!
