March 21, 2006 • GKSSA General Meeting and Registration for the 2006 Outdoor Season
A GKSSA General Meeting will held on Wednesday, April 12 at 7:00 at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. All teams must send an official representative. Failure to attend or to properly notify the league in advance will result in your team being fined.
Also, all outdoor teams owe the GKSSA a deposit of $900 for the 2006 outdoor season. This deposit is due at April’s general meeting. If this deposit is not received on time, your team’s entry in to this year’s outdoor league is not assured!
In addition, all indoor teams that owe the GKSSA player fees or fines must remit full payment on or before April 12’s General Meeting. This payment must not be included in the same cheque used to pay the $900 outdoor season deposit.

October 19, 2005 • Al Francis
It is with great sadness that we note the untimely death of Al Francis, a long-time soccer player on the Kingston scene and an active supporter of soccer in Napanee. Al died on Monday, October 17 in a workplace accident in Napanee. He was 41 years old.
Al’s enthusiasm and positive attitude will be missed by all who knew him.
In the GKSSA, Al could most frequently be found playing goalkeeper, a position he
excelled at with teams like Queen’s Inn and most recently Cataraqui III and Cataraqui II.
However, playing soccer was less important to him than coaching it; Al devoted much of his
free time to the youth soccer league in Napanee, as a coach and as a member of the league executive.
The October 19th edition of the Kingston Whig-Standard carries an article on Al and it’s available here in their on-line edition: Dedicated soccer dad killed on the job.
