We welcome new members - no need for a try-out to join us and play football every week! FREE FOOTY at Sichuan Uni: Wednesday 6 to 7:45 pm. Call Joel on 13547914427, or just turn up - on East pitch.

JOIN US - WHY?
The main advantage of membership is having footy games organised for you - you just sign up via email and then turn up to play, and pay 20 Rmb per game to cover the pitch fee. For that lack of hassle, you pay an annual membership fee of just 200 Rmb (discounts for under-18s). Any extra money is saved up to pay for tournaments and tour games.

Touch and Contact rugby every week in Chengdu
There's physical activity all over the place nowadays.
Here's another reminder that you can do American footy and touch rugby if
you like - all levels of (in)ability welcome.
It's good fun, so give it a go.
If you're interested, contact Simon at simond@ace-edu.com
His message was as follows:
We're running midweek non-contact American footie and rugby sessions
regularly now in Sichuan Uni. We've been getting a small but consistent
group of experienced and non-experienced players along... but it'd be better
if we had more.
We play at the single pitch (with the running track) near the lake and in
front of the foreign languages building.
Mondays 5:30 - 6:30 pm - Sprint and Fitness Train
Tuesdays: 6.15-7.30pm - Rugby Skills Training
Thursdays: 6.15-7.30pm - Touch Rugby
Saturdays: Noon - 2pm, Touch and Contact Practice and games
Call Emily (152 2828 2047) or Peter (1388 2266 575) for more info
Hope to see some more people there (oh, by the way, it's free to play, except Sat!)
