Fried Rice Welcome BBQ

Hello Everyone!

To launch the APSS for 2012, we will be hosting our traditional Fried Rice Welcome BBQ on Wednesday 22 February between 11:30 and 1:30 on the lawns of Chifley Meadows! Do not fear, our traditional fried rice recipe has been improved upon this year by our superb Vice President Sonia Lok. (snaps for Sonia!)

This event is completely free for members, and if you are not a member, you can sign up for only $5. This membership will give you discounted tickets to all future events, including our Trivia Night and our Annual APSS Ball, so it is definitely worth joining up. We will also be selling cans of soft drink for $1 each.

Please note, we will not be cooking extra fried rice after 12:30, so don’t egg us if we run out. All the eggs will have been consumed.

See you there!

Pip Clark (APSS President 2012)

Friends, Romans, APSS members, lend me your ears! (or FEET!)

As last year’s Asia Cup Soccer competition was such a success, we have decided to host the event again. We are inviting all Asia affiliated clubs or societies to put forward a team! But everyone has to get in quick because only 8 teams can be accepted.

Date: Saturday 21th May 2011

Time: 12.00 – 2.30 AM

Venue: Fellows oval, ANU Campus

If there are enough keen players who aren’t in other teams, the APSS will also compete for this PRESTIGIOUS recognition as ANU Asia Cup CHAMPIONS.

We will be providing lunch for all members and players, cooking up our signature fried rice BBQ!! Is your mouth watering already?

RULES:
We will be playing 1/2 size fields, and each team will have a minimum of 7 players. That means six players on field, and one player who will act as a referee for 1/2 the match. Substitutes are, of course, permitted.

There will be no offside rule, and as we are playing 1/2 sized fields, there can be no goaly.

See you all there!!!
