The U6 and U7 are at Centaurs on Saturday morning playing in a friendly tournament, so there will be no training for them at Dempsey.
HAVE YOU LEFT?
If you have left Singapore, or your child is just taking a break from the Academy this term, please don’t forget to drop a note to Sarah at info@sccrugbyacademy.com so we can update TeamSnap and the team lists.

THE FRY GROUP TAX WORKSHOP: INHERITANCE TAX AND SUCCESSION PLANNING
There are countless reasons why it can be tempting not to think about inheritance tax and to consider it a problem for another day. Living far from the UK and hopefully being in good health, can mean that we are more focused on growing our wealth, rather than planning to protect it on death.
Over the last 10 years, we have seen property prices rise and nil rate bands stay static. This had led to larger portions of individuals estates exposed to inheritance tax. In this workshop we will review options available to reduce overall IHT exposure.
Our speaker Anna Warren, Head of Tax Asia will discuss ways to identify inheritance tax exposure and will touch on some sensitive, workable solutions to protect estates.
Date: Wednesday, 25 September 2019
Time: 8.00am-9.00am,1.00pm-2.00pm and 6.30pm – 7.30pm Sessions Available
Location: The Fry Group, 6 Battery Road #16-04/05, Singapore 049909
Speakers: Stephanie Chan, Tax Manager, Hong Kong, and Anna Warren, Head of Tax, Asia
RSVP:
Light refreshments will be served and there will be plenty of opportunity for Q&A.
Places are limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
