Explanations and Updates

Dearest Freshies and Councillors of NUS Sports Camp 2009,

Firstly, on behalf of the organizing committee for NUS Sports Camp 2009, I would like to apologize for the camp's abrupt end due to H1N1 concerns. I was notified on the 4th day of camp (Thursday 2 July 2009) that one of our camp participants was tested positive for H1N1. Immediately, we alerted NUS authorities and had an emergency meeting and have decided to recall everybody back to NUS for temperature taking. For those people who were at Sembawang yacht club, their recall was delayed due to the heavy downpour. As such, they were made to wait for a very long period of time at the yacht club in the cold. If any of you were part of these groups, please accept my sincerest apologies about the delay.

To date, there has been 6 confirmed cases of H1N1 from the people in our camp and new cases are coming in everyday. I hope that everybody can try to avoid going out for the next 6 days and seek medical attention if your temperature hits 37.6 degree Celsius, and then inform your OGLs/House ICs. For seniors, please inform Runi at 9197 8735 (for Ang Kong Kia and Mafias) and Kynneth at 9793 7163 (for Goo Wak Jai and B-Bottoms) about any new developments and cases, For any very important enquiries, please contact Hua Cheng at 97502308 or Boon Hui at 98526384.

For many people, myself included, the best camp in NUS should not end in this manner! That's why we will be having a continuation of the camp, probably 2,3 weeks later during or after the matriculation week. The details will be put up on the blog and our facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=44270786540&ref=ts) .It will be a one day affair which includes very fun beach games and a bash at night (as well as the award presentation). We will also be giving out your goodie bags and camp singlets during that day. So do keep a look out for it.
