Small, But Large Steps, Pave the Way in China

Touch continues to make inroads in China, with the recent introduction of the game to schools in Hangzhou and Qingpu provinces.

Touch appeared for the first time ever at Hangzhou, when Shanghai Touch stalwarts, Laurent Villemeur & Cao Zhi Yong, ran a brief introduction of the game at Hangzhou JiangNan Model School (> 2500Students). Participants were very keen, and quickly adapted to the required skill sets. The program aims to continue on Monday afternoons, and will hopefully continue to build in numbers, and subsequently see the emergence of a school based team in the not too distant future.

Touch was also conducted for the first time ever at Lycée Français de Shanghai (French School of Shanghai), Qingpu Campus. The sessions were set up for all French famillies and the wider community, and will be run on Sundays morning. Again, the initiative was coordinated by Laurent Villemeur & Brendon Ritchie.
