Promoting NYP Events
Hey all, I'm helping the school promote the upcoming events. You may have read about these events in the newspaper; NYP in collaboration with H-TWO-O, will be organising two events in NYP Campus on 18th July 09. They are:

*NYP Biathlon
*Futsal (soccer)

NYP Biathlon
NYP Biathlon will be organised by our very own NYP Adventure Club. With that, we have manage to pursuade H-TWO-O to provide special rate for all our NYP Students and thus each participants will be required to pay only $5 to take part in the Biathlon.

The race discipline includes:
*400m Swim
*4km Run.

The race categories are:
*Male Individual
*Female Individual
*Mixed Relay (one to swim and the other to run)

For registration, forms are available at Student Affairs Office. Students may collect the registration forms from SA office. Payment can be made through NETS at the SA office counter. Should you like to race against a bigger field of biathletes, you may choose to take part in the Open categories. Cost for Youth (under 21) and Open (Above 21) is $20 per person. Registration and payment can be done through www.yeos.com.sg. Your siblings or friends who are not current NYP students or staff may take part in the open category.

FUTSAL
For Futsal, it will cost $20 per person for a team of five. There is no special rate for NYP students as the event is run by an events management company. Registration can be made through www.yeos.com.sg

Goodie Bags
Goodie bags will be provided for all who have sign up, be it NYP or Open to public categories. NYP students who take part in NYP Biathlon (NYP category) will also be entitled to NYP Biathlon events' T-shirt. Winners can expect to win attractive prizes.

So do participate if you can. And also, they might need volunteers to help out, so if you guys are keen, please let me know and I will pass your details to the organizing committee. This may not be related to Astronomy but it is a very good chance to expose yourself and also do your part for the school.

Looking forward to your replies.

Thank You.

about nastro


The Nanyang Polytechnic Astronomy Club (NASTRO) is an astronomy interest group that promotes interest among students on astronomy by organising activities and events that are related to astronomy. Our activities keep our members and students informed about the latest happenings and discoveries on astronomy around the world.
Astronomy is gradually becoming a popular field of study in Singapore. The National University of Singapore has started a course on Astronomical Studies and building an observatory for their own which amounts to tens of millions of dollars. Even students of Primary and Secondary schools are involved actively in the many Astronomical Events held in Singapore each year.

Anyone interested can contact us via email at nyp_astronomy@hotmail.com
