Welcome to the Royal Goaltimate Society! We are a bunch of hacks in London who love to play Goaltimate in Hyde Park. We have an active mail-list and don't take ourselves too seriously. But we do like a good fast game of scoobers, hucks, no-look scores, and heckling. Email RoyalGoalT at gmail dot com if you want to play or have questions. We meet sporadically throughout the year so best to get in touch if you want to play. Sign up for the 2008 Royal Goal Tea Party on September 20th by clicking on the right hand menu above.
