This year in recognition of his MANY years of selfless service to DeA Tigers RFC and HK Rugby in general, Colin received an award at the Hong Kong Mini RFU annual dinner.  On behalf of the club, thank you for your tireless efforts at DeA season after season and of course many thanks to Susannah for letting you devote so much time to rugby.

Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun of the DeA Fun Day Touch/Tag Tournament.  On behalf of all the participants thanks a special thanks to Hau for all of the hard work he put in organising everything!

Dear members,

In addition to the fun day on May 10th, DeA minis would like to advise you that the AGM will be held on the same day.  Please remember that for the club to function successfully we need volunteers not just on the pitch coaching and managing teams but also involved in administration of the club, kit distribution, sevens ticket sales, organisation of social events and so on.  If you would like to volunteer either for the committee or just for an ad-hoc role in helping out, please let reg@deatigersrfc.com know. 

The initial agenda points are listed below.  It is expected that the entire meeting should be completed within 15-30minutes.

• One hour in a Dragon-Air Airbus Flight Simulator
• Match Ball from the HK 7s signed by 22 of the team captains
• Autographed HK National team shirt
• And many, many, more....

Hau is organising both a club fun day and summer rugby training, see attachments for details and enrollment procedures.

Dear All

I have had several emails reminding me that 12th April is Easter, and so many people may be on holiday. Therefore, I will try to arrange team photos for individual age groups on Sunday 26th April instead. Thanks to all of you who spotted my deliberate mistake (just checking if anyone reads my emails!!!).

Thank you,

Peter (DeA Minis Chair)

Dear Members

Even though it rained during some of the minis games, this could not dampen what was a very successful HK7s tournament for DeA Tigers minis. It was a pleasure to see all of our kids playing with such fervour and having fun at HK Stadium, which is a memory we will all treasure for years to come. DeA minis did us proud and all kids should be congratulated not only on their performance during the hard fought matches they played, but also on their excellent behaviour throughout the event. I have also received very positive feedback, and HKRFU management were very pleased with the way the minis and youth events passed, especially the good behaviour of all children during the marchpast. I wish to thank all coaches and members who helped to ensure this was such a success and for giving up their time so readily ( rather than getting drunk up in the stands!). I think that came later! If anyone has photos of DeA minis at the HK stadium, then please pass these on to Brenton Judge (U7 coach, but I think he has a child in every age group so he is easy to find). Brenton will then upload these to our DeA website.
