I have been your GM for the past 7 years and I’d like to thank everyone for your support throughout the years. I felt it was time for someone else to take over and I am glad that Marko has stepped up to the challenge. His enthusiasm for the Tigers is exciting to see and he has my full support.

4th Annual Flying Farangs Open Charity Golf Tournament – Saturday, August 25th in Pattaya

Dear All,

I’d like to give you some advanced notice about the 4th Annual Flying Farangs Open Charity Golf Tournament, which is coming up on Saturday, August 25^th at Phoenix Golf & Country Club in Pattaya.  The Flying Farangs Open will take over all 27 holes of Phoenix G&CC for a 12’noon shotgun start. This will be an excessively fun charity golf tournament followed by a beachfront buffet banquet hosted by Raimon Land at their Northpoint condos in Pattaya!

The Flying Farangs Open uses a 2-player Scramble format to promote a fun and relaxed day of golf.  Lots of beers and BQQ’d food on the course doesn’t hurt either! Last year’s event was a complete sell-out and we expect this year’s tournament to top all previous Flying Farangs golfing spectacles.

Besides being a tremendous good time, we’re proud of the fact that the tournament raises much-needed funds for both the Thai Fund Foundation and the development of the Hockey program in Thailand; this success depends heavily on everyone’s support.  Please make every effort to join us on August 25th and invite as many of your friends who might enjoy the golf &/or the party!!!

Attached are the tournament poster and the Registration Letter, with all the details about the 4th Annual Flying Farangs Open Charity Golf Tournament, including an Entry Form for players to fill out. Please pass this message around to anyone and everyone who might be interested. I look forward to seeing you in Pattaya!

Sincerely,

John Casella

Canadian Graduates Association Malaysia Hockey Night in Malaysia – Wed 22nd Nov

 This is an email from ‘Canadian Graduates Association Malaysia :: Members Portal’

Message:

Dear Members,

After our recent events, we have received suggestions of activities that we should hold. One such event proposed is a “Hockey Night in Malaysia”.

The proposed venue is at the Sunway Pyramid.

The event would comprise of a dinner buffet (starting around 8pm) at the rink where people can eat and mingle with the hockey players followed by watching hockey games. The date suggested is on Nov 22.

As organizing event like this entails a lot of work, we are fortunate to have a few volunteers stepping forward to organize it. However, we need to gauge the response from members to see if such an event would interest them and whether it is viable for us to organize.

I therefore encourage you to indicate whether you would be interested to attend this Hockey Night as your feedback is very important.

You can reply to this email or send me an email at alan@warrantscapital.com to give me your feedback.

Thank you.

Hi All,

I’d like to thank Smart Ice and Mid Valley Shopping Mall for inviting the IndoChine Cobras to help launch their ‘Skate for Joy’ project for some 600 orphans around the Klang Valley.

The Cobras that graciously volunteered their Saturday morning for these kids all enjoyed themselves (I know I did).  It was great to see smiles on both the kids and the Cobras.

The following Cobras (and Wildcats) deserve a big thanks:

- Ronald Fauvel

- Brian Pedersen

- Albert Terry

- Chris Martison

- Tony Ryan (with Chase and Jackson)

- Youki Sai

- Marko Nykanen

- Steven Tan (KHAS President)

- Gary Tan (Wildcats)

- Bazli (Wildcats)

Please see the attached article that was published on Xfresh about the event (indochine-cobras-charity.pdf).

Again, thanks to all for your support and kindness.
