Fatherly words of BEN

hello ppl.
how's life? how's studies?
ANyway, i'll be away from today till 16 Oct, will be climbing in china.
in the meanwhile, pls re-start your training sessions from 1st week of October.
the PT will be the same, plus i want you all to go bouldering at Climb Asia at least once a week.
Climb On
Of note, Climb On happens from 31 Oct to 1 Nov. I would like all of you to take part in the competition, and perhaps also form 2 teams. Also, I've put out the email regarding volunteering for the event, which in exchange you'll register for free, get 2 free entries to CLimb Asia, and a 20% coupon off any products at Climb Asia.
Climb On is non-competitive, or competitive. Depends on how you want to go about it. But I seriously recommend taking part in it as it involves so many of your other peers, and is a really good time to get to know other boys and girls from other schools :)
Rock On 2009
Also, Rock On is from 6th – 8th November 2009 & 13th to 15th November 2009 at Yishun Safra. More details at http://sgclimb.com/rockon/?p=82
I have selected Joshua, Gabriel and Moses to take part in the Girls U20, and Fay to take part in the Boys U20. I would ask if the school can pay the registration for them, as it is quite ex., at $24!
For the rest, you may have to pay your own if you wish to participate.
Alright, study hard, play harder when promos are over!
Will take sips of chinese tea while eating mooncakes under the full moon in Yangshuo in remembrance of you all!
ciao!
Coach Ben

CLIMB ON!

Dear JCians!

How’s the mugging for the promos? Don’t worry, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it is called Climb On!

CLIMB ON is BACK! (31 Oct 31 – 01 Nov 2009)

Since 2002, Climb On, organised by Climb Asia, has been known to be the event for all climbers, regardless of race, language, religion, level of climbing, and is for all climbers, boulderers, competitive or leisure!

If there’s only 1 climbing event you are taking part in in 2009, CLIMB ON is it!
More than just the usual competition, the carnival aspect of Climb On is to make climbing fun for everyone.

But..., the event needs YOU to happen!

Climb On 2009 need volunteers to be judges for the routes, to help out with some logistics, and to update the live scoring system.

In return, volunteers will -

1. Take part in Climb On 2009 for FREE! (1 category only)
2. Receive 2 climbing passes to Climb Asia
3. Receive a 20% discount voucher off any one item at the Climb Asia Pro Shop (What better time to get a new pair of climbing shoes for next year!)
4. Free official T-Shirt

WoW! If you are not tempted already, you probably have the libido of a Panda.

So why wait! There are 2 time slots on both days that you can volunteer for.

Date
31st Oct 2009 1st Nov 2009
Time Slot 1 Time Slot 2
0730 - 1330 1300 - 1900
0730 - 1330 1300 - 1900

If you are interested, please fill up the file attached (Volunteer Details.doc) and email it to Suzanna at suz.tan@sgclimb.com . If you’ve any questions, feel free to contact me at 97906685.
You must also complete the volunteers indemnity form which can be handed in person at Climb Asia, or on the day of the event itself.

Let’s build up our local climbing community by giving back and bonding with fellow climbers in the community!

Climb On!

Climb On, Rock On 2009

Hello ppl,

Remember to take a break sometimes. A 30min slow run does wonders for your health, and your overheated brain.

I myself am taking a 3 week break in Yangshuo, China. Can finally do my own climbing, read the books I want, do more running, etc...

Anyway, just a reminder that Climb On and Rock on is coming up soon.

Climb On 2009 http://climb-asia.net/content/view/125/1/
I fully support this event because it is the definitive, non-competitive, consensual, fun, interactive and bond-building event! Many a climber have met their match there, both sense of the word. And by volunteering, you can register for free, get 2 climbing passes to Climb Asia, and a 20% coupon off anything in their shop. Plus the bonus of competing alongside me! You can try beating me :)

Rock On 2009 - http://sgclimb.com/rockon/?p=82
The registration is a bit ex, but I have still selected 4 of you to take part in the Under 20 category. It's going to be competitive, as you'll be competing alongside other ITEs and Polys, but I believe it is a good precursor to next year's competition.

The year 2s, remember to take a break sometimes. Just yesterday, I saw a whole bunch of JC2 students bouldering at Climb Asia! 3-4 hours away from your books won't hurt :) Instead, 3-4 weeks with no exercise will!

Alright, still packing my bags, leaving tonight. There's a chinese saying "Dan Yuan Ren Chang Jiu, Qian Li Gong Can Juan". Wishing all of you good health, and we can all admire the full moon on 3rd Oct. And even though we are a thousand miles apart, we'll feel like we're next to each other, cause we're looking at the same moon.

Poetic Coach Ben
