Update on DeA Minis

Printer-friendly version

Dear Minis Members

Just a reminder that, as it is Chinese New Year on Sunday, King's Park will be closed from 14th-16th Feb. and hence there will be no training this week. There will be training on Sunday 21st Feb., but we only have the pitches from 08.00-09.30, so please come early on 21st. It is important to train on 21st, as on the 28th Feb. DeA Minis will do battle with kids from all 17 Minis clubs at King's Park, as part of the first ever Valley Fort festival.

Membership continues to increase each week, as new players register for DeA Minis. We now have about 400 kids registered for the club, which is absolutely tremendous, so on behalf of the DeA Minis Committee I would like to thank all members for entrusting your kids to us and for helping Mini rugby to thrive in Hong Kong. I suppose this is also an appropriate time to formally thanks our various volunteer coaches who give so freely of their time each week to coach the kids in the fine art of rugby. Without such unwavering support the Minis at DeA could not function and certainly would not be the best Mini rugby club in HK!

Refereeing - For any persons with a wish to know more about rugby refereeing and a wish to become a rugby referee, then please apply for the course below. Minis will pay the fee for any member who completes the course and produces a receipt for payment.

If you know of someone who would like to attempt the course, please get them to contact Patrick. This course is for refereeing at all levels and is not specific to Mini rugby!! You will certainly understand the game far better if you complete this course.

HK7s tickets - I have just been informed that the HK7s tickets should be available to rugby clubs at the end of February, so hopefully these can be distributed to those who have ordered soon after.

Club merchandise - if you have ordered club merchandise and not yet received it, then please ask on 21st Feb., as we have some of those orders in the container.

On behalf of DeA Minis, may I wish everyone Kung Hei Fat Choi.

Go Tigers!!

Peter (DeA Minis Chair)
