NUSS MPH closure announcement : 1) Saturday, 26th 2013 from 1 pm to 6 pm - 28th NUSS-PAUM badminton; 2) Monday, 28th Oct - Wednesday, 30th Oct, 5 pm - Maintenance


Hi NUSS Badminton Family,

 

I have two (2) quick announcements on NUSS MPH closure ..

 

1)    No Saturday Section Session on 26th October 2013, 2 pm to 4 pm (Due to 28th NUSS PAUM Games)

 

It will be great and good for some more of us to come down to support us … you might have some "free-play" time after the matches proper ..

 

Please see attached on past statistics – Badminton together with other sports hope to achieve a break-through this year to wrest the overall title from PAUM .. Our badminton last victory was in 2010 during the 25th anniversary … so let's come together a one family to cheer us on …

 

2)     No Special Tuesday Badminton (STB) on 29th October 2013, 7 pm to 10 pm (Due to court maintenance)

 

P/S:  The courts are re-open after  5 pm on Wednesday, 30th  October 2013 as "reported" by the Maintenance Team – So we don't expect our regular Wednesday Section Session on 30th October 2013, 7 pm to 10 pm to be affected.

 

Cheers!

Our next ICML match is away to WGCC on 4th October; 2013;
