ONE NEW WHEELCHAIR!
A huge thank you to all the bakers and the eaters at our bake sale last Saturday! Thanks to everyone’s amazing generosity, we raised $1,800 which was enough to buy one new wheelchair for the Wheelchair Rugby Association (Singapore)!
We had so many donations that we’ve got enough to have a mini bake sale this Saturday 13th May too! So drop by the F&B shed if you would like a cupcake with your coffee! Don’t worry, all the goodies were packed away safely in the freezer after last Saturday’s bake sale.
The ice pops will also be on sale again for all those hot, thirsty children!
THE FRY GROUP WEBINAR: MOVING ABROAD – LIFE OVERSEAS AS AN EXPAT
Setting up life in a new country is a big step that can be exciting, if somewhat daunting. With a range of considerations and decisions to make – financial and otherwise – moving abroad requires careful research wherever you’re going in the world.
Join this webinar, where our experts, Peter Webb, Head of Tax Advisory and Huw Wedlock, Director, (both expatriates themselves) provide some important steps to consider when it comes to your move overseas, including key financial matters, in particular your liability to UK tax and maximising your expat status.
What can I learn from this webinar?
- What you’ll need to put in place before leaving the UK
- Why it’s important to update your Will and pension plans ahead of a move
- How UK tax rules affect you when living abroad
- What UK taxes still apply when you’re overseas
- How to manage your UK property
There will also be plenty of opportunity for Q&A.
Please register below to receive the webinar link.
Wednesday 24 May 2023:
UK 9am, Europe 10am, Dubai 12pm, Singapore/Hong Kong 4pm
Please feel free to forward this invitation to friends, colleagues or family members if you feel it would be of interest to them. We look forward to you joining the webinar.
THURSDAY MID WEEK TRAINING
Can you think of a better way to end the day? Many of our older groups hold an extra training session on Thursday evenings down at Dempsey. Your coaches will let you know if your squad is taking part in Thursday training.
KEEP HYDRATED
With the current hot and humid weather, it’s very easy to become dehydrated. This is particularly so for the young, and those partaking in outdoor activities – such as rugby and touch!
Dehydration affects our brain’s ability to regulate body temperature, and by the time we experience actual thirst, our brains are already partially dehydrated.
Please make sure your children hydrate well before they come down to training, ensure that they have a full water bottle with them, and encourage them to take sips regularly even if they don’t feel thirsty. If they run out of water, there is water pitchside where they can refill their bottles.
KIT
If your team is taking part in games or tournaments, we would kindly ask that you ensure that your child is wearing their full and up-to-date kit. They must wear the latest playing jersey/touch tops which have our sponsors latest logos on them. Please keep the old tops with the old logos just for training.
We need to honour our sponsors contribution and support by wearing the tops that they have sponsored for us.
LIGHT SNACKS AT DEMPSEY
Don’t forget that light snacks are available for sale at the F&B Hut at Dempsey. You will now be able to buy muffins, sandwiches and hot dogs to go with your coffee! Please note that you now pay by PayNow and cash, or you can sign on your account if you are a Singapore Cricket Club member.
