AGM UPDATE!!

Some updates~~



Team colours ---> Team or Captain's decision

To differentiate between the teams, we have decided that each team will decide on your common team dress colour for internal league.

So do the communicating amongst yourselves to decide which team plays in what colour.



Dress colours after shower ---> RED WHITE GREEN


Yes, you must be dressed in the above 3 colours. Not red, white or green. Its Red, White AND Green.

Although no prizes will be given out for the best dressed, we thought a colour theme will bring some post christmas cheer and fun to AGM. :)

Wear the colours or risk being penalised.

You have been warned.


haha.



Food ---> Western

One of the more important things in AGM in my opinion. haha. Anyway, this year we have decided to cater western food, something different from the usual chinese types.
Hope you like western food.

I heard the tiramisu is super. ;)


Looking forward to a day of fun,

Cheers

Also, starting from next training, each team will get train on their own, get to know each other, and think about the line-ups and strategies etc..


Yep.. so That's all folks!


Oh ya, we'll be playing round-robbin netball (not street netball). :)

Club Fund Payment for 2008

Hi All,

It has come to our attention that many amongst us are behind in the payments to the Club fund.

The payment rate is pre-determined in accordance to your age, current educational level and assumed financial situation. Currently, players holding full time jobs pay SGD$180 per annum.

This money goes direct to payment for courts, participation of tournaments, etc.

We are committed in providing a most comfortable and worry-free environment for training.

Therefore we seek your cooperation in doing your part by contributing to the club fund on the stipulated basis which will in turn help ensure we continue to enjoy a healthy bank balance.

For the year ending 2008, Blaze has decided to impose a one-time payment of SGD$30.
The payment should be made during AGM.
If you have paid more than the amount stated above in 2008, the balance will be rolled over to the following year.

You may also wish to clarify your payments for 2008 with our Treasurer, Rongzhen. (rongzhen@gmail.com)

Any disagreements or concerns with regards to the payments(s) may also be brought up with the Coaches / Treasurer / Managers during AGM / training.

Once again, we thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you at AGM 2008.

Always wanted to go Sweden?

Now you can.

The Blaze Lounge now flies YOU! direct to Sweden.

TRAINING TEE FOR YEAR 2008

Alright, i know half the year is almost gone but don't worry, you're still going to get your Tees, and I will make this as hassle-free as possible. I promise.

Training Tee for Year 2008 will be somewhat simple, so people looking at us during trainings will not be distracted by any fanciful whatnots. Machiam got people looking at us during trainings right.... hahaa...

Anyway, feedback gathered from players was that the Tee for Year 2007 was not as comfortable as they would have liked. There were also comments on the tee being smelly after some time. (Probably didn't wash properly right... lol. k, i was only kidding.)

Hence Pure Cotton was decided as the Tee Material for Year 2008.
We were wearing Dri-Fit last year.

We had also chosen White, to keep us cool in Hot and Humid Hingapore.
Not that we have any intentions to start training in hot and humid hafternoons.

But we thought they would look best against the Club's Logo.
Yes, we do have a club logo, and its right there... on the right. Right up there.

So, there you have it, a White, Pure Cotton training tee (Sleeves Included)


Price of 1 Training Tee: 10 to 12 dollars
It is likely a subsidy would be given.
Will update once sizes and total quantity has been confirmed.

*Now is the Time to say: Please RongZhen!


To order 1 in your size, please follow the instructions below.

Instructions:-


Step 1. Find a soft measuring tape, those used in Home Economics sewing class.

Step 2. Look at Training Tee sample picture below.

Step 3. Know that Blue is the Sleeve-To Sleeve Length,
Red is the Body Length, and
Green is the Pit-To-Pit Length

Step 4. Measure if the below measurements are your optimal fit.
For the above Tee, it is a Small size (Note: Not drawn to scale)
The measurements for a Size S Tee are as follows:

Sleeve-To-Sleeve: 30.5 Inches
Body Length: 26 Inches
Pit-To-Pit: 18.5 Inches

FYI, i wear S and i took these measurements off my Tee cause the Supplier says the size would be very similar. By the way, when i say similar i meant its similar to a Black cotton training tee we had 2 years back. Not the Blue Dri-Fit sleeveless one.

These shirts come in Xtra Small, Small, Medium, Large.


Step 5. DECIDE!!
Remember they come in the above sizes so if the above S is not optimal for you, you may like to take either a larger or smaller Tee Size. I am not exactly sure what could the difference be if you go one/two sizes up or down, but i am quite sure the difference would very likely be around an Inch or so.


Step 6. Send your Name and Choice of Size to your Tree-Top.
Tree-Tops please consolidate them and send them to me via Email/SMS


Remember, the deadline is
22th April 2008, Tuesday, 2359Hrs
So, do Decide by then.


After which, we will help you to decide on your Tee size. :)

Post your questions on the Tag Board and we'll get back to you soonest possible~



Have Fun Deciding and I'll See you All next Friday!

As mentioned, Court Training for next week is canceled but We'll be down for some Light Fitness Activities. So Do Join Us!

Activities Start 7.20pm or so, Ends before/around 9.00pm.

Mystery!


Congratulations to our Mystery Photographer, Miss MX, for winning herself an honorary certificate for submitting the following Mysterious Photograph of the Mysterious Bench-wrecker!


The Mystery of why most of the benches in Kallang are in such bad shape is now solved!

----------------------------------------

We had the honour of having a short interview with our Mystery Photographer:

Editor: who's that anyways? what a scary person.
Miss MX: you can't see whom he is meh... Only got 1 super fat guy in netball circle ma.

----------------------------------------

It seems the identity of the Mysterious Bench-wrecker needs no further introduction.
Once again we thank our Mysterious Photographer for this issue's Mystery Photograph.

If you have any photographs worthy for contribution to our humble blog, pls feel free to contact the administrators, and stand to win yourself great prizes!



No, seriously, no prizes.

Case of THEFT

On Friday evening, 16th February 2008, during Blaze's usual netball training, a suspicious case of theft and vandalism took place.

There were no witnesses, but we have managed to secure an important piece of evidence/victim:



Some sub-par netball club whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned, made a miserable attempt to claim our netball for their own by overwriting our label with their unbelievably artistic talents. Reasons for such ungentlemanly acts have not been uncovered, but our investigators suspect it may be due to said club's poverty of club funds.

I hereby suggest said club to consider giving up netball and taking up professional graffiti instead. At least if they end up getting arrested, it will be for public vandalism and their masterpiece MIGHT still be considered as a piece of street art. Much more glorious than getting arrested for the theft of an old, dusty, rubber netball.



Blaze training is on as usual the coming Friday. Pray no one makes such pitiful attempts of stealing our possessions again.

20080214

Happy Valentines' <3

I doubt many of us noticed... we have a Valentines' baby in Blaze!
Happy Birthday to Alicia!

And while we're at it, Happy 21st to Serene Tham YaXin, whose birthday falls one day after a Blaze training day, 16th February. COME FOR TRAINING~ so we can take a picture of you and your gift and paste it here for the world to see.

And also, an early birthday greeting to our last February baby, YuXuan (21st Feb). Happy Birthday!! Though your birthday falls one day before a Blaze training day, you can still come to training, you know. :)



Blaze is scheduled to be back on the courts this Friday, so do turn up for training everyone! See you~

And of course, Happy Valentines' Day :)

20080203

Birthday!!

3rd of February is... MeiQin's birthday! Happy Birthday!
Long time no see you.. come for training soon before we forget how you look like :)


And here's an early birthday greeting going out to MeiXin (6th Feb)!! Lucky girl, birthday and CNY in a row. Happy collecting AngBaos!

Are you two secretly sisters? Even the names are so alike. :P


Everybody, make sure you enjoy your pineapple tarts, bah kwa and other new year goodies... Eat as much as you can! Just remember to come burn those extra calories off at training the following week!

And remember to collect more ang baos to pay for Blaze fund! :D

Happy CNY!

20080201

Little Pang Day :)

First of all, apologies for missing out MinZhen's birthday!! So sorry sorry! MinZhen's birthday was on 7th January. It's probably too late for birthday wishes now, still hope you had a wonderful birthday :)

And next,

...26th of January is XiaoPang Valerie's birthday!
Lucky Little Pang became the first to receive the birthday gift from our Blaze welfare comm in 2008.

If you've attended training last night, you should have already heard that the welfare comm has decided to do away with birthday cakes this year. Instead, all birthday girls will receive a little gift :)

And so, pls attend training, girls!! So that we can take a nice picture of you receiving your birthday gift and post it up here. Well done, Val. It's a good example set. =P



And pls pay funds too, these contribute to your birthday presents as well! Third Friday of the month has passed, so if you've yet to pay funds, please do so the coming Friday.

20080105

Happy 2008 :)

Hello, and while it is slightly late to say this, Happy New Year to all. Multi-purpose first post of the year!

First off, to wish Phoa Huilin (6th Jan) an advanced Happy Birthday! May you have a wonderful time celebrating while many of the rest of us are melting under the sweltering sun (or trapped at KNC waiting for the rain to stop AGAIN).

Secondly, last minute reminder to all players taking part in the Daisy Tan Carnival held on Huilin's birthday, which is tomorrow.
Players are to be ready for warm-up by 8.15am.
If you are still unsure of what attire to wear, please contact RongZhen (Blaze 1) or Joan (Blaze 2) like NOW.

All right, that's all for today. Have fun, everyone. :)
