We have just confirmed a generous sponsorship from World Health Store, Beijing's leading provider of vitamins and supplements, organic foods, sports and energy drinks, eco-friendly household goods, and a whole lot more!

World Health Store will sponsor our weekly Man of the Match winners for the A's and B's, as well as a new "Barbarian of the Week" award for the club member who has put in a great all-around effort, whether through 11s, 5s, training, or overall service to the club. (And remember, to with the Man of the Match award, you must show up at our other sponsor, By The Tree, for drinks after the game!) WHS will also give free VIP cards to all club members for special deals and discounts throughout the store.

Barbs!

We are overdue a season opening party at our new sponsor - BY THE TREE!

The October holiday gives us the ideal chance to do this, so the event will be held THIS FRIDAY, 30 September, 20:00 till late

For 150 RMB per person you will get free flow drinks for 3 hours and a buffet. Patrick at BY THE TREE has put together a nice selection of pizza, salads other dishes from his famous menu.

Please make every effort to attend - friends, wives, girlfriends very welcome - both to show our support to our sponsor but more importantly to have a cracking time with some good friends, food lashed down with copious amounts of alcohol!

Please let Chairman Kenny know how many you will be bringing if you have not already done so.

The event starts at 20:00 so get there sharp!

Great news, fellow Barbarians! We have confirmed our new sponsor, BY THE TREE, a sports bar located conveniently in the heart of Sanlitun.

The sponsorship provides a generous financial boost for the club, which will allow us to purchase a new kit and other much-needed equipment. Even better, our new club home features quality beer, the best pizza in Beijing, live sports, a pool table, and a whole lot more!

This is a big step forward for the Barbarians, and we'll be sending out more information soon. For now the important thing is to show our thanks for this generous sponsorship by giving BY THE TREE our business:

• Post-game beers with your teams on the weekends
• Club-wide parties (the next of which is coming soon)
• Watching all the big international football matches
• Heading out with your friends for a beer (or twelve)

See you all at BY THE TREE!

Some of you have already been to our new club sponsor, BY THE TREE. For those who haven't, it might be a bit hard to find. Here's a hint: It's by The Tree, its sister restaurant and the source of all the great pizza.

The street address is 43 Sanlitun Houjie, which is about 100 meters west of Sanlitun North Bar Street. It's on the second floor, above Smugglers.
