The ‘Tell Ya Story’ Australian Photography Competition is an opportunity to document your memories and time in Australia, through photographs!!

They said that the men's category will start at the morning and will continue after the friday prayers whereas the women's category will be in the afternoon.

Just for your information, the Sydney badminton team consists of 3 mens doubles and 3 mens singles. GO SYDNEY! haha

1. Men's singles
2. Men's doubles
3. Women's singles
4. Women's doubles

New updates

Salam and Hi everyone,

Below is the summary of the updates/new information we received from the BruONZ committee during the meeting just now:

- Deadline for registration and payment of the sports is on the 16th of this month which is this coming Sunday

- The dinner reception is as mentioned before which is at Sutra Hall, Rizqun International Hotel for which the ticket would cost $20 per person

- The committee would need/prefer the payment for the dinner reception to be made by the 23rd of this month

- As usual, they require each states to give a performance which would last for a maximum of 5 minutes

- They also need volunteers (2 people or more from each states) for the events which would include all the events (futsal, badminton, netball, dinner reception)

- New rule on futsal which allows import players so that the total number of teams would reach at least 10

Things we need to sort out for now which is of the highest importance:

- List of people joining each of the events and payments to the focal points (TOP PRIORITY)

- Looking to have the final list and payments by Friday or Saturday (as some would be in KB) (Maybe we could pay for them first?)

Other info:

- I think the volunteers for futsal mcm jadi referee n stuff n others, especially the dinner reception, would be informed to us by the committee at a later date

- Any questions or comments or such, do feel free to approach any of us or the ketua kampong or myself

p.s. If I left anything out tambahkan ah bu? Haha
