I was just looking at the X-country's results.
I must say we did well, eg. we have 9 girls in the top 50 and 9 boys in the top 40. This year is also the first time we won something for Inter-club (besides lucky draw), 3rd is a good result and we won lucky draw this year too.
We may not be monopolising the market yet but we have about 20% of the market share. Great job again!!

Hi everyone,

This concerns Friday the 13th of February 2009. As you know, it has been marked out as Friendship Day by the College, and in an effort to increase the sum of money in our near-nonexistent club fund, we have decided to sell muffins. As such, we will need people to man the booth and do things like go around the school blaring in the face of their friends to support our wonderful CCA and buy our muffins. Please let your respective captains know, either in person or through SMS, when your free periods are. Take ownership of your CCA and help out! Check this space in 24 hours for more details. Happy Friday the 13th.
