China ClubFootball and the Beijinger are both a little over ten years old. Only ClubFootball can claim that they've been making people healthier during that time. Until now that is. We've teamed up with ClubFootball to enter a team into their new 5-a-side league and we're looking for players. All of our readers are welcome to join. No matter what your standard is there's a place for you on the team.  Read on to find out how you can get your football for free.

China ClubFootball and the Beijinger are both a healthy ten years old, but only one of us can make any real claim to be healthy. ClubFootball has been at the forefront of Beijing grassroots football – getting the city's men, women and children, both local and foreign, to play the beautiful game. Meanwhile, we've been encouraging you to go to bars and restaurants. One nil to ClubFootball. The spring season of their Men's 5-a-side Leagues kicks off next month and they are looking for new teams and individuals to sign up.

It’s time to put on that fancy suit, laugh loud and dig deep for a good cause. The St. George’s Day Dinner is hitting the Beijing scene on April 28 at The Westin Beijing Chaoyang. This year, the proceeds will go towards Care for Children (an English charity dedicated to finding foster homes for orphaned children) as well as Little Flower (an independently funded hospice which offers long-term intensive care and medical treatment to sick and chronically ill Chinese children). We asked co-founder Martin Budzinski to clarify who exactly is St. George and why dinners are sometimes better than balls.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics but in this month's issue of the Beijinger we promise only to bring you the statistics. For our Cover Feature we've taken a look at the city from a new angle (or two), we've delved into dusty archives, we've crunched numbers, we've sketched out complicated diagrams and we've run multiple computer simulations ... all to deliver a vision of Beijing as you've never seen it before. Your eyes are in for a treat and your mind is in for a good work-out.

Elsewhere in the March issue you will find out that Tom O'Malley ate all the pies (for the Dining Feature), we're told how to make a lavish duck pie, we go Back For More to Bleu Marine for one of the city's best steaks and we bravely find out the hummus which we heart is in our Taste Test.
