How it works:
1. Cassie collects base sum of $30 this Friday.
2. At the beginning of every subsequent month, we pay for the number of sessions we attended the month before.
Example: February has 4 training sessions, of which i attend all. Hence, when cassie collects money on the first week of march, i pay her 4 x $6.
However, March has 4 training sessions of which i only attend 3 sessions, hence when cassie collects money in april, i pay her 3 x $6.
3. We have excess money left before we leave. Either (i) we put the remainder in RC fund or (ii)we divide back equally again but this will come later.

alright i have loaded you guys with alot of strange words and sentence structures please try not to fall asleep i love you all muacks and itslate now so goodnight and have fun mugging.(:

Changes to training tomorrow

Hi all!

Due to unforseen circumstances, tomorrow's training in SAJC is cancelled.
Those who feel they might suffer from withdrawal symptoms can climb at Climb Asia on their own, but they may not utilize the school credit, ie. they have to pay the $12/- non-member fee.

Those who feel they might suffer from over-withdrawal symptoms to the pockets can still boulder at the SAJC gym of course. Doing intervals on the 10-moves boulder problem i set should satisfy your climbing needs.

Training on Friday, 4:15pm at Climb Asia is still on.

cheers
Coach Ben
