Fundraising Swans this weekend!

The Vietnam Swans fundraisers
The Vietnam Swans fundraisers

This weekend, across the country, the Vietnam Swans will be out in force raising awareness about the Club and funds.

Tomorrow night in Hanoi, with a little help from our friends, Jim Beam and JASPAS, we will meet up at 5pm at JASPAS to watch the Brisbane Vs Carlton match. The Jim Beam Swanettes, together with a mega bottle of Jim, will also be in attendance. The fundraiser will help us get Mr Tung to join us in Singapore for the Champs.

The following day in Saigon, Sunday 24 August, the boys are off to Danny’s house for a barbie. Rather than raising funds, this event is more about getting different people involved in the Club.

But back to tomorrow, Michael Johnston and Michael Francis will be swimming in the Hoi An Triathlon to save children’s lives. They’re raising money for children’s swimming lessons because more children die in this country from drowning than road accidents.

The swimming lessons will be conducted through the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation in Hanoi. All donations will be matched dollar for dollar by the Intrepid Foundation.

If you would like more information or would like to donate to the swimming lessons cause, please contact Michael Johnston at michaelj@intrepidindochina.com

Tipstar Goes – Blind Freddy!

Posted by Vietnam Swans on August 22, 2008

Well gents – the tipstar thought to spice things up a little, we would make the last 3 rounds of the season blind. So you wont be able to view the competition ladder and you will have to log on to the Swannies website to see who has won the cash! Catching up the last few rounds, before round 20, there have been come eye catching tipstars.

Round Winners:

  • Round 15 – Kutch bags 8
  • Round 16 – Golden Boot Gus and Jonh Tatnell tie at the top with 7.
  • Round 17 – Golden Boot Gus – smashed the competition with a ridiculous 7.
  • Round 18 – Danny Armstrong, The Boz and Micky F all share the chocolates with 8.
  • Round 19 – John Tatnell – the perfect 8.

So it is down to the business end of the season – the group has bunched at the top of the table and it is that tight that anyone of 14 blokes could win. So hang in there – 2 rounds to go – check the teams, watch the weather, and take your time to choose very very carefully. We all know someone will take a risk and win, someone will choke, and there will definiftly be Gus at the end of the season saying, “I was gunna pick them”. Good luck and go the Vietnam Swans Tipstars!
