Sunday 18th April - Minis training and related activities

Printer-friendly version

Dear Minis members

Only two Sundays left in the DeA Minis season, so I hope everyone can make an effort to come training on 18th and 25th April, come wind, rain or shine.

Summer Course - Even though DeA training finishes on 25th April, we will still be running an excellent summer course throughout the summer. Please see the details, as attached, and register now! It starts soon. This is excellent value and at very low cost. It will also keep the kids occupied and happy one day per week over the summer.

Sunday 18th April - this weekend, we are having a joint DeA and Kowloon RFC day. This means that we will have Tai Hang Tung Minis and Kowloon youth and seniors joining with us this weekend. This should be great for the kids. Training will start at 08.30, ending at 10.30 for the younger age groups on pitch 3 and at 11.00 for the older minis. At 11.00, our U12/U13s will join together to take on the Kowloon Lions U14s on KP1, so I hope minis members can stay on to support the kids in this friendly match. There should be food and beverage after training and a chance to socialise/mingle with our visitors/guests.

Badges/awards - on 18th, we will also arrange for the monthly awards for the kids, so I anticipate that these can be given out to U6-U8 age groups at 10.30 and to U9-U12s at 11.00. Please attend this ceremony and support the recipients of badges. Don't forget your camera, in case your child is the awardee.

Sunday 25th April - this is season's end, so I hope all will come. We will have training from 08.30-1045. At 10.45, I hope all members will congregate at the bouncy castle area, as we will have a graduation ceremony for the U12 boys and girls who will be moving up to DeA youth next season. This will be a big send off for them, so please support this initiative! The U12s will be awarded a shirt and a size 5 ball as a thank you from DeA Minis. After the graduation ceremony, we will hold our Annual General Meeting in the clubhouse from 11.00-11.30 and we hope that as many members as possible can attend. This will involve the election of new committee members for next season and the current committee will give a round up of the season just finished. If you want to take a more active role in the minis, then we are looking for volunteers for the following roles:

Chair

Vice Chair

Secretary

Treasurer

Kit Manager

Social Events/Tours Coordinator

Marketing/Sponsorship Coordinator

Please, if you fancy giving this a go, then please put your hand up and volunteer your services. Please send nominations to: brenton.judge@gmail.com We can always do with your help! After the AGM, we will have our end of season buffet, so please can all members contribute some food for this event and bring it along on 25th. I thank you in anticipation of your generosity and support.

I hope to see you all on Sunday.

Go Tigers!!

Peter (DeA Minis Chair)
