As a footy club in Asia, the Vietnam Swans meet many – and say goodbye to many.
Tonight, the boys in Hanoi will put on a Cyclo Pub Crawl for Club Legend, Dan Kindness who will leave Vietnam with his family in another week.
Also cyclo-ing will be another key Swannie, Mr Haoie.
Dan’s influence and impact on the Club has been immense and enduring. Dan played a key role in establishing our ANZAC Friendship Match which is only in its third year. Dan played a pivotal role in establishing the tradition where visiting Royal Australian Navy ships play a game of footy against the Swannies. Dan organised the Thursday night fitness sessions at the Australian Embassy in Hanoi. But most importantly, Dan has just been there at our Club as a top bloke.
Tonight, the Club will put on a show for Dan and Hao in Hanoi. A Cyclo Pub Crawl – similar to our AFL Grand Final Cyclo Parades that we used to do in Hanoi. The details are as follows:
Start: Tonight, 1700-1730
Where: Bia Hoi – south side cnr Phung Hung and Bat Dan – Old Quarter, Hanoi
Cyclo Pub Crawl: Cyclo Bia Hoi crawl through the old quarter to make it to
Dinner: 1900
Where: Pilsner Urquell Bia Tuoi near Truc Bach Lake, 10 Nguyen Bieu, Ba Dinh
Come along if you can for a fantastic night with a fantastic couple who have done so much for our Club.
