2012 Feb 20 Back of the Net: ClubFootball 5-a-side Returns!

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.

The new season will be contested by 96 teams. The tournament runs from Tuesdays to Thursdays in the evenings at Chaoyang Park, Side Park, and now also at the 798 Football Park. With 12 divisions, there is definitely a standard for everyone. If you want to get involved, be quick about it. The deadline is Friday, February 24th.

If you've not got enough pals to make a new team, you can always join Team Beijinger. We're always looking for new players. (Just to clarify, we mean for the football team in the ClubFootball league. This is not a really vague job ad.) If you'd like to play with us, all you need to do to be eligible is confirm that you are available on Wednesday evenings and tell us who won the last World Cup. Send your answer in an email to win@thebeijinger.com. We'll be in touch with all the entrants very soon.

  • St. George’s Day Dinner: Tickets on Sale Now!

    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.

  • the Beijinger - March 2011: Figure It Out ... OUT NOW

    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.
