Our annual summer BBQ and tennis tournament will be on Saturday 19th of June. We will have food, drink and music - all in an venue perfect for families, with plenty of room for kids to run around safely. There is a big field for games like rounders and football, and we will have sports alongside the tennis tournament. So whatever your interest, come along!

What: Barbeque, tennis tournament and sports day
When: 3pm, Saturday 19th June. Please arrive early or on time.
Where: King Alfred School, Golders Green, North End Road, London NW11 7HY
Cost: £5 deposit (£3 is refunded on the day)

We hope to once again put a 10-person crew in this year's Great River Race (www.greatriverrace.co.uk). CSYPN has had crews the last two years and have raised a lot of money for charity, rowing a boat in what is like the London marathon on water and one of London's most colourful and exciting events.

A big congratulations to our crew who completed the Great River Race at the start of the month! There was lots of singing and sweating as the CSYPN boat raced in lovely sunshine along 21 miles of the Thames. The boat did it in 4 hours 7 minutes.

The full placings will be available at www.greatriverrace.co.uk soon.

The next football match with Croatia is on Wednesday October 14th. We play Kazakhstan away. The Famous Three Kings, West Kensington will be showing the game as usual. Kick off is 9.30pm.

What: Croatia vs Kazakhstan World Cup Qualifier
When: Wednesday 14th October 9.30pm
Where: Famous Three Kings West Kensington (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/95/956/Famous_3_Kings/West_Kensington)
Cost: The pub charges a £3 entry on big match days - and with this you get a bottle of beer. This is something the pub does - we do not have anything to do with that.

Please remember that England play the same day, so the pub can get crowded - it is best to arrive a little early to make sure you get in (England's match is at 8pm on the 14th) Also, some people last time had difficulty finding other CSYPN members: this time, we will have a CSYPN sign so everyone can find each other!

Croatia -- Belarus 5th September 7.30pm

Croatia -- England 9th September 8.00pm

You know how important these games will be. As usual, we will be watching them in the Famous Three Kings right next to West Kensington tube station. We have also organised a meeting venue for Croatia fans for the England match.

Continuing from last year's successful participation in the Great River Race (London's river marathon - http://www.greatriverrace.co.uk/) we have secured a boat for this year's event and once again will be raising money for charity.

Spurs v Dinamo

Tottenham players Luka Modric and Vedran Corluka will be up against their old side just months after leaving Dinamo as Hotspurs face their first UEFA Cup game under new manager Harry Redknapp.

Great River Race

Guys, sponsor us and help the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC)! It's a great cause and 10 of us will be sweating for 4-5 hours. That must be worth something!

To donate, please visit http://www.justgiving.com/csypn.

Time Out gives quite a bit of importance to this event and puts it at No. 18 in their "101 Things To Do Before You Leave London" feature. It takes place on 13 September.

It's a rowing equivalent to the London's marathon with a minority running a competitive race, and the rest having fun and raising money for a charity.

CSYPN has managed to secure a boat (very difficult) and, if you would like to join the Croatian ambassador, sing Croatian songs and get a place on the boat, do let us know asap. Boys and girls can both be on the team.

Tennis Tournament

We will accommodate any level, gender, or style as long as you indicate how good your tennis is. Please use a scale from 1-5 (1 being a top player, 5 a beginner).

Matches will be played on good astro-turf courts at King Alfred School (beautiful grounds close to Hampstead) and during the tournament there will be an opportunity for your friends/family/children to engage in other sports activities such as unihoc, badminton, basketball.

Despite of the fact that we were beaten by Britain in the Davis Cup this weekend, we had a wonderful time in Wimbledon and Cadogan Arms. All the Croatian players (Ljubicic, Ancic, Cilic, Karanusic, Zovko) joined us and enjoyed an excellent tamburitza band from Vinkovci - these guys know how to entertain. When you add kulen and rakija - the enjoinment is guaranteed.

Now, after tennis - it's another basketball session. On Friday evening (7-8pm) we'll put our kit on and have fun on the court. If you wish to join, please email us as soon as possible, but not later than Thursday 27th September. Price is £5 for non-members and free for members.

Petar is organising another basketball session. Always lots of fun and nice exercise. It's free for CSYPN members (only £5 for others), so don't hesitate to join us.

We had an ice-skating event last year and it was very successful. We have no doubt that this too will be an entertaining event. Afterwards we can go to one of the many excellent pubs the area offers. Beginners are most welcome - don't worry, you won't be the only ones falling down - we'll be there as well.
