All are welcome, last weekend was a blast...
2. Monday, Feb 20th @ Jing'an Worker's Stadium
Competitive pick-up this Monday night at Jing'an Workers' Stadium. Bring your cleats, a light/dark jersey, water, and RMB50.

We will be playing from 8:00-10:00pm, but get there early and warm up your throws or get stretched out. Mike Nads will be there at 7:30pm with a serious look on his face and plyos on his mind...
3. Spring League 2006
SAVE THESE DATES!

Spring League starts MONDAY, MARCH 13th
Spring League Registration Party is on FRIDAY, MARCH 3rd

Here are the basics...
  1. Spring League is going to be 9 weeks this season. 8 weeks of round robin and 1 week of finals. Runs from Monday, March 13th - Monday, May 15th (with a bye on Monday, May 1st).
  2. If you heard that we'll be capping registration this year, you heard correctly. We have a limited number of spots for this season, so sign up early! :) There will be 4 teams of 15 players each. (60 total players for this spring season.)
  3. To further incentivize (sic) people to register and pay early this year, we will be including a Shanghai Ultimate 2005 disc (100rmb value!) with your registration fees when you pay at or before the FANTABULOUS league registration party! League fees will be 400rmb this spring season.
More details to come soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to shoot them my way (hermine@gmail.com).

5. Job Opportunities
Celebrant at Roman Holiday Wedding Center

As you may well know, members of our community serve from time to time as "celebrants" at a local marriage parlour.

If you are interested in performing ceremonies on a sunday or two every month, please contact Jeff Jorve.
6. Sponsor Links
Big Bamboo
They are our major sponsor. Let's sponsor them. When you have that meeting or that new guy in town, take him there. And introduce him to Bryce, the owner. Good Times (with a capital T) will ensue. Nanyang Lu and Xikang Lu. Open all the time. Great food.

Sherpa's
Dial up Swill Turnover and order something from Sherpas. They dialed SUPA's number in a big way with a fat sponsorship. Let's return the favor.

Zentral
Make sure to head to Zentral for your after-pick-up meal... The nice people there will hand you an ice-cold Qingdao for ordering an entree.
7. Thursday Night Plyos with Nads!
Plyos are on for Thursday. 7:30, Jing An Fields.

This week, Nads will bring his digital camera to take videos of everyone after the workout, stumbling around like newborn Bambis, legs like jelly.

Sound appealing? Who's in?
