DATES

Alright. This post are the dates that things may be happening on. For those going for competitions, both Sprint and Polo, we will find a way to settle the trips. But do try to keep yourselves free.

Pre-expedition Trip : 25th August 07, Saturday
Sprint IVP : 15th & 16th September 07, Saturday & Sunday
Expedition: 17th - 20th September 07, Monday to Thursday

As for the location, we have said it during the last meeting, that it will be Pengerang

It is definatley much closer to Singapore and easier to plan for. I reckon that information about the food, accomodation and anything else we require will be much easier to plan for and i hope the planning starts soon.

Try to accomplish as much as you can before next week's Thursday meeting, which will be the last before revision starts. Do however, take time off to revise as well because study comes first. I'm not trying to sound like a mother but time-planning here is very essential as everybody's schedule will be pretty tight. As time progresses towards CAPS, there will be more and more meetings so please make yourselves free.
THANK YOU

Yeah. That will be all for now.
Anybody else with suggestions, please post them up yeah.

Change of Plans

Alright. Here it goes. June is too busy to actually come down with us this Sat, and next. So i thought. This is our committee. We do the planning, we make the decisions. Well. since it was previously suggested that we still head for Teluk Ramunia, which is pretty far away as you all know. I thought, we go for Pengerang instead. This way, we can sort of explore the area ourselves, which is more accessible through the net and by transport. So why not we finalise all this tomorrow during the meeting? That we organise this expedition to where we want it to be, with what ever we are going to do. Who's up for it?

DARREN

Postpone of Saturday's Event

Hey people.
This Saturday's Trip will be postponed to next Saturday, 4th of August.
June has a meeting with RP this Saturday so she won't be able to make it.
I need you guys to confirm with me again. Sorry. SO SORRY!

Darren

MEETING ON WEDNESDAY (TOMORROW) AFTER TRAINING

yeah thats right, i rather not anyone skipping their lessons for any more meetings so if you guys cant make it any other day, we'll just have to do it after wednesdays trainings. we can talk about it either during dinner/supper or right after training itself during the debrief.

please pass the message around asap as it is just tmr.

whoever cant make it, please inform me (MATTHEW)
heres my hp number: 97317943

Alright. First things first. I haven't got my passport updated yet.
It was supposed to be today, but ICA was closed. and it will still be until Thursday. Only on Friday can i access the building to renew my bloody passport, and news said that it may well of an overnight job, that we can only collect our passports the following week. So in this case to put it simply, i'm screwed.

But today, i met up with June. As most of you all know she is our adviser for this expedition. She told me plans for our caps, which was not good. The sprinters and polos may have competitions coming up during the September break right? She said this may affect our trip because if we were to row far, it may tire out our competitors and they may underperform. So, it was suggested by her that, either

1. We shorten our expedition
2. Shift the dates back till after the competitions
3. Carry on with the same dates but to a different venue; Southern Islands

After reading this, the seniors may not be as appealled to carry on with the expedition as they might have been there before. If it really comes to the case where we can only have a change of destination, we will have to live with it, like it or not.

It may be as serious as it sounds but it is really getting complicated with so many things up on my mind. I will update you guys if there is any changes.

Well, all is well to say that we can only hope for the best, which i have no idea what it will be.

Singlets designs/colours

Okay, i've made a deal with the uncle near my place about the FBT dri-fit singlets. I told him i'll be ordering about 80-100 of them and here's the best part.

WE CAN CHOOSE ANY COLOUR COMBINATION WE WANT!
LIKE HOW DARREN WILL SAY: POWER!

but i repeat, thats IF the colours are available.

if we decide to choose a custom made colour, it will take roughly 3 weeks to get it done. (the factory has to manufacture it duh)

so it is CRUCIAL TO GET THE SIZES OF THE SHIRTS ASAP

but if we so happen to get the sizes late, here are the colours that are already available:

Base colour/Stripes colour
-grey
-black
-white
-red/white
-orange
-black/orange
-orange/white
-white/orange
-navy blue/white
-white/navy blue
-navy blue
-navy blue/yellow
-blue
-blue/black
-black/white
-white/black

i think thats about it, so if possible,
LETS TRY TO GET THE DESIGN (FOR COMMITEES AND CAMPERS) ALONG WITH THE SIZES ASAP PEOPLE!

LOVE, MATTHEW THE AWESOME SQUARE
