Pre-season friendlies and Futsal I

Dear friends,

The Sporting Light Football League will start in early March 2010. In light of our recent inactivity due to unfortunate circumstances, I will try to organize friendly games from February onwards. On top of this, Wei Lin will be appointed as our Chief-de-Futsal after his stint as an ambassador has come to an end due to a double hit-and-run accident in Sweden. We will try to organize the games concurrently but subjected to availability of the number of players.

Please let me know whether you are free on 31st January, 7th February, 28th February, 7th March for friendly games.

Finally, I hope to have a mini-gathering during the CNY period, preferably on a weekend.

Thank you!
