2014 Semester 1 Welcome Dinner

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

The start of the new semester brought newcomers and they obviously deserved a warm welcome. Hence the welcome dinner at Charming Spice.

Yes, it's a szechuan restaurant promising lots and lots of spicy food to fill our stomachs after a long day of training. Fortunately for those of us whose tongues reject spicy food, we did not have to sit and watch the rest as there was no shortage of non-spicy food.

Highlights of the day included an "appetiser" of volleyball(oon) between team spicy and team non-spicy, an unofficial eating competition to see who contributed the most in helping us finish the food (recognition and possibly pride was on the line), and a discussion of [Name goes here - Those who were there, you know who we're talking about. Those who weren't well...well too bad. Kidding. There's always a next time]'s age sequence (trust me: it's not as simple as an increment of one each year).

 Team spicy and team non-spicy reunited for the group picture - sorry we were too busy enjoying ourselves to take more pics :)

We hope everyone had a wonderful time (I know I did). We do go for dinner on Tuesdays and Fridays after training and everyone is welcome to join. Once again, our appreciation and gratitude goes to ZZ for organising this event.

Important notices about Tai Chi Training

Even if you're a wushu member you might be interested in some of this, so make sure you glance through this message so you don't miss out!

First off, sometimes if it's a sunny day, Tai Chi training will move to a grassy area after warm-up. We want to stress that we'll only ever move once the warm-up is finished, but if you're more than 20 minutes late you might show up and find we're gone! If this happens don't worry - we'll either be in that outdoor area between the Asia Centre and the ERC, or we'll be on South Lawn.

Second, Wednesday Tai Chi training will begin on March 26, and run from 6.30 - 8.30pm, again in North Court. This session is open to all members, just like all MUTW training, and will be taught by Sonny Keo, who you might recognise from Friday training. Sonny's going out of his way to teach this class, so I think a gold-coin donation would not go amiss! He's a great martial artist, give the man your love.

Semester 1

To all our new members I hope you enjoyed your first week at MUTW Tai Chi/Wushu and for returning MUTW members - welcome back!

A few important 'start of semester' announcements for both new and returning MUTW members:

Semester 1 Welcome Dinner:
An invitation email has been sent inviting everyone to the MUTW Semester 1 Dinner for both return returning members and to welcome new members to the MUTW Community. The dinner will be held at Charming Spice on the corner of Lonsdale and Swantson and for those who will be joining us we will walk there after training Friday night. The price will be approximately $20-25.. depending on how much of an appetite we work up at training!
