Just a reminder, there will be no training until August 26th. If you would like to train through the season, you are welcome to join the summer course being run by Hau, see http://www.deatigersrfc.com/files/DeA_Tigers_RFC_Summer_Training_course_... for more details.
Big thanks
A big thank you to all the parents for their various contributions to the club through-out the season. It was great to see the amount of food that was brought last week and this shows to me the huge percentage of people who not only bring their kids down to learn rugby, but also to be part of a great club. Of course, special thanks are due to the coaches (especially the head coaches) and the members of the minis committee who all give their time week in week out to make it a great experience for the kids and help to make DeA a great club.
Tiger Ball
May 12th is the social event of the rugby season, the annual Tiger Ball at Kowloon Cricket Club. Tickets are only $700 and funds raised will go to support the Larry Abel trust fund. If you would like to go, please let me know. I would love for minis to have 5 tables again this year. It's a great way to celebrate the end of the season.
All Girl's Tournament
Don't forget to pop down to King's Park tomorrow to support the girls in the AGT if you have time, there will be games through-out the day and there is sure to be some fantastic rugby.
Laos rugby kit collection
A thank you to any members who donated kit in the recent kit drive.

Please remember to keep your kit for next year so that we can again donate kit to worthy recipients. Well done to Tui and Greg for organising this.
Chartis cup
June 9th will see a Great event featuring Saracens vs APB's (formerly known as the Asia Pacific Barbarians) it is only $300 for adults, $50 for kids. Please email me if you would like to buy tickets through the club. We will get $100 back for every ticket sold through the club. Proceeds from the event go towards rebuilding school in Thailand so it's a very worthy cause and promises to be some fantastic rugby with Saracens being one of the top European sides and the APB's having some big names joining the team.
Asian 5 Nations
The second game against on the 26th May at Mong Kok stadiu doesn't have many takers at the moment. Please come, we really need to fill the stadium. It is the first time the government have let rugby use the stadium and so we want to make sure that we show them how popular rugby is in Hong Kong so that we can have a lot more of the games there in future - I'm sick of going to Football Club for the A5N games. It is free admission and should be a great game. Again, let me know if you can be there so we can block off a nice section in the stadium for DeA. Kickoff will be at 4pm.
Summer sport
Don't forget, Auskick kicked off last week and continues this week for anyone that would like to learn Aussie Rules. They will be training in our regular spot at King's Park on Sundays. Check out their website http://www.auskick-hk.com/ for more information.
See you at the Ball.
