We are on FaceBook!
I've decided to start a facebook group, a suggestion by Simon, because it would be easier to communicate, especially when there is a match/tournament/friendly, and all I need to do is create an event and send it out. Of course that means you guys gotta check your facebooks, which I'm sure many of you do. Even if you're like me, only logging into facebook only when I receive emails notifications, all I ask is that you login maybe every wednesday or thursday to see if anything is on. Therefore if by now you have not received an invite from me to join the group, please look for saturdaysoccerclub group on FB and ask for an invite, most likely because I have not added you on FB as a friend :P
Although the facebook group has been created, this blog WILL continue running. A blog is really nice to come to, at least for me, so I'll still post stuff, but I'll post on both ends. I've got Jurgen and Fae who've both graciously and generously offered time and effort to help spruce up the blogsite, but it will take time so please be patient.
Just to let you know, I've attended a meeting about a possible tournament, that runs from april to around september. The matches are on Sundays at 3pm and 5pm. Since YC service is in the afternoons, the committee have mentioned that they will try to make arrangements such that our games will all be on the 5pm slot, if we decide to participate. And the matches WILL NOT be every week. So in a month, we may have 2-3 sunday matches (depending on number of participating teams). $800 per team of 20-25 players, for the entire tournament. Each team will play (estimated) 9-10 games. It works out to about $4 per game, which is quite crazy. Anyway, more details when I find out more, and also I need to find players committed to play this tournament. Key word being COMMITTED!! I'll probably ask you guys on sunday after service, for those players not in KY, please do contact me if you are interested (can post on the chat box here or send an email or go on facebook).

Just to add on to what Chao has already mentioned about the Agape Cup. Its not a one day event its spread out over 4 months, with 20 teams being the minimum from what i understand. We really need a good response and real committment. Yes, its a tournament and we all want to win it. But i hope we can look at this as an opportunity for outreach as i plan to keep some slots for friends of ours to join us and really be a part of something. Really need to get this going and we need your support guys.
Also for the fee involved. If you're wondering it works out to be $32 dollars per person if we can fill out all the slots. Chao will make an announcement this Sunday during service and we will fill you in on the details to the best of our knowledge.
Hoping it materialises. Thanks for reading guys.
