KLIM 05 Peer Support Training Program & Meet the New Members Brea kfast on 19th Dec 04.

Hi Everybody,

After two back to back weekends away from Bukit Aman Car-park, I thought Isend this quick note to update on the past/coming activities;

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on 5th Dec 04
Our Women and Mixed Team emerged 3rd in a very strong field (total of 46teams in women and 87 teams in mixed)While we did not get rostrum finishing in the individual events with ainternational cast of top runners, Don Khor (42km), Lisa Oon(21km) and ChongYoke Fong (10km) were the top Malaysian finishers in their respective event. A total of close to 200 members (including those on their own) would make usthe largest foreign contingent.

OCM TriSports on 12th Dec 04
We fielded 9 teams in 5 categories, the largest contingent out of 32 teams.We did well with the following placing;

* Champions for Men Senior
* Runners-up and 3rd for Women Open
* 3rd for Men Open
* 3rd for the Women Junior

Our two youth teams did well enough in their categories, despite being ascatch team. I see potential in both youth teams as they were largely under16 competing in under 18 categories. We did well in the runs, OK forbasketball but poorly in the football. Moving forward, if OCM is going tohave this event annually, we need to organize our internal football andbasketball tournaments to identify capable players in these two sports toform a more rounded team to compete with state outfits like the JohoreSports Council, who won 3 of the 5 events.
