FLOORBALL IN SHANGHAI

Dear floorball lovers,


We have a situation where our the sports hall where we usually play is being renovated. I apologize for the late information but we only found out on Thursday.


We will therefore go back to the old crappy place in Ningxia Rd/Caoyang Rd. Don't worry, the renovation there has only been superficial - they have not fixed the floor! :-)


Thursdays were booked which means we will play on Tuesdays 19-21 starting tomorrow, March 25th instead for the coming month after which we will go back to Lakeville.


Please send me an e-mail or give me a call (13120632452) if you want further directions.
