Bio: Kqdtli is known to be witty and short tempered, so he doesn't hesitate to take a fine needle to the neck of any that agitate him. Though he appears dangerous, really, Ramesh can be lighthearted, kind and caring, and extremely devoted! This makes him a well-rounded Trainer; a vicious contender.

Bio: thomas is constantly trying to find his purpose in life, and even what this "life" thing is all about. The philosophical type, to say the least. He has a small group of very close friends.

Upcoming: Spring Tournament planning

Next week, we will be starting some basic planning regarding the spring/easter tournament. As St. Patrick's day is too close for reasonable planning, we've decided that an all-encompassing spring tournament would be better. Acceptable Pokémon types may be some like: Pastel colours, plant type, anything egg-related, anything chick-related, etc.
None of this is concrete, though. It's like... not even liquid concrete, ready to dry. It's like watered-down liquid concrete. Not ready to go at all.
Anyway, the meeting this Thursday has been cancelled, and we are meeting next Thursday.

-Vice President tommy

P.S. Think about what kind of Pokémon types you'd like to see go at it that are reasonably related [ooh, what fantastic alliteration!] to Spring. Also, if you're not altogether happy with the current tournament format we've been using, or if you'd like to see something different go on, feel free to bring it up at the next meeting [March 15th], or contact the Elite Four [Ramesh, Patrick, tommy, ellie] at thspokemonclub@gmail.com. Furthermore, the rewards for the winners of the last two tournaments [other than uber 1337 points] have been giftcards; if you'd like to donate something for the winner or have another idea, don't forget to bring that up, too. [My, what a long post script!]

-Secretary diye.
