Citizen,

Our first part of the season is rapidly coming to an end. Both teams still have some really important games, but I think it’s about time to give all of you, a short recap of the Club activity for the next few weeks.

Here is a detail schedule of what is going to happen:

Sorry for the long list guys, but I think it can be helpful for everyone, to have a fix schedule like this, so that you can all organize for what is coming ahead.

Remember Pikey leaving do party and the Xmas party are a must to attend, so get your busy schedule planned, so that you can attend this 2 important events.

Let’s keep winning and let’s keep having a lot of fun together!

City!

Well done to Forbidden City lads who started with a clear victory (6-0) against X2 Japan on Sunday.

Training on Wednesday, please find your way to the Lido pitch and be there ON TIME!

Wed. 17 Sep. Lido pitch 9.45pm
Please confirm your participation at training, reply by email now, or text me on my mobile.

Cheers

Citizens,

update on three organizational issues.

1. Training
Training will be at the Lido pitch on 11-a-side pitch every Wednesday from 10-11.30pm, starting tomorrow. Pls be there at 9.45pm so that we can start on time

2. IFFC League Registration 2008-09
a) Registration fee will be 100RMB for everyone. No more student discounts. (the money goes to the League not the Club)
b) Players already registered last season only need to provide 100RMB and copy of passport (new requirement by the League)
c) New players joining us this season need to provide registration form (available from Patrick and myself), 2 passport photos, 100RMB, copy of their passport

3. Tracksuits
We are getting new FCFC tracksuits this season. The tracksuits will likely be Umbro and a similar style as the blue ones we got some 3-4 years ago, and likely in red. The cost should be around 300RMB per suit (price possible thanks to sponsorship from newly opened bar and restaurant Luga’s Villa in Sanlitun)

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO (very simple)
Let us know if you’d like a track suit and what size

Pls everyone bring a copy of your passport and 100RMB registration fee to training tomorrow!!!

Cheers,
Jochen
