Dear Bashers,

With the finals only a week away and the End-of-Season Function and Hong Kong Sixes not long after that, it is time to give some thought to next year’s committee.

The Bashers Committee is an integral part of the Bashers, in charge of arranging sponsorships, procuring buses, organizing functions, purchasing kit, etc.

For 2010, the following positions are open for voting: (more…)

You’ve been waiting for it for a long time. Finally, in living color, the Bashers on tour in Nanjing.

The tour report has yet to be written (who is doing that by the way?), but to whet your appetite, here are some snaps from the three day tour.

Photos of note include the positively rural stumps, finely hand crafted with the help of an angle grinder by the President, the truly rural ground, closely cared for under the direction of Katie, and the white-trash rural scorers table, stolen from the adjacent school.

What can’t be seen in the photos is the utterly hot and humid nature of the Nanjing weather, the utter lack on water on Sunday and the questionable nature of the “BBQ.”

The general looseness of the weekend however, cheerfully comes through just fine.

Please contact me if you would like any high res images from this collection.
