As to date, there are 12 confirmed participants for this X-treme Challenge - Kota Kinabalu 2007. A number of fund raising activities will be organized later to subsidize the trip which may lighten the burden of the participants. Tentatively this trip shall be organized in December 2007 in order to encourage participation from Rovers who are having STPM at the end of the year. If you are still interested, please be reminded that the closing date for enrollment is on 15th April 2007 (Sunday). Those who wished to join after the closing date may still do so. However, we may not be able to gurantee the same privilages which are enjoyed by the early birds. The first committee meeting shall be organized after Indaba this coming Saturday. Tentatively next week. Be prepared.
