The positive side is that we will have a much better pitch to play on this autumn, as I believe it will take some time to be ready for sports.

In the meantime we will play at SCIS Pudong on their artificial pitch, which in the heat of summer is quite a challenge, but compared to the Emerald pitch, a better alternative.

The Shanghai Krauts will join us this summer so we can ensure we have enough players to have a decent game!

Sadly I also have to announce that Claus has left China as of today. He did turn up on Sunday at BISS to say goodbye, but unfortunately we had to move our location to SCIS. I wish Claus and his family much success and happiness for the future, and hope he and his family return to China soon.

I wish all of you a great summer vacation, and look forward to you all returning fitter than when you left!
