Preparations
Singapore Open 2005
The
biggest tournament in Asia: the Singapore Open will be held for the 9th
time this year on 17&18 September. For the first time ever there
will be a Vietnamese team participating in a tournament! The team from
Hanoi will have some reinforcements from Ho Chi Minh City and expects to
field a big delegation in Singapore. This is all made possible by the
recent establishment of a budget airline flying between a.o. Singapore
and Hanoi: Tiger
Airways
and the revenues of the HUC discs and shirts we have sold.
We
are very excited about this and in September you'll hear more!
Ultimate
Promotion Campaign in the Vietnamese Press
Recently
there have been some publications in the Vietnamese press about the
Hanoi Ultimate Club. There was an article in the Vietnamese "Hoa
Hoc Tro":
Dia
bay tro choi cua moi tro choi starring HUC's Ultimate photo
model Nga.
There
was also a full colour, 4 pages piece written about Ultimate in
Hanoi in the Prestigious Vietnam Airlines Magazine: Heritage:
"Ultimate Frisbee has landed in Vietnam" with text in both
English and Vietnamese and great pictures from the international
HAT tournament in Hanoi taken by our own Matthew Dakin. Later we'll try
to post a PDF version of this article here.
Ultimate
Promotion in the streets of Hanoi (the Ultimate Dream)
Ultimate
Frisbee is becoming very popular in Hanoi. Disc promotion posters in
famous propaganda style have been seen at key locations around the city.
The red discs with yellow star were very popular and were sold out
quickly. The authorities are negotiating with a number
of disc manufacturers to have them produced in large quantities to
initiate the new programme "Three discs for each
Hamlet".
The
players of the Hanoi Ultimate Club and Ultimate Frisbee of Saigon will
be traveling through Vietnam for Ultimate demonstrations. This promotion
will surely boost the sport of Ultimate in Vietnam.
Wishful
thinking? Who knows.. Fact is that we have some great new HUC products
available.
Check
it out at the HUC
shop at Cafepress!
