ESADE Sports – Rugby

October 7, 2009

There are numerous sports initiative at ESADE, one of which is rugby. I am a great fan of this sport myself and there are many others who have now teamed up to play rugby more or less seriously. There will be a training sesson next Monday, 12th October, on Mar Bella Beach at around 14h. We will be playing on the beach just behind the rugby pitch. (Metro: “Poble Nou”). Google map location is here.

As we are looking at playing more seriously we suggest to bring some mouthguards. According to the main coordinator “we will start with some proper practice and contact” so we are looking forward to a nice game.

Reminder: The Good Entrepreneur – Deadline 31.07.09

July 30, 2009

A quick reminder that tomorrow, the 31st of July 2009, the application process to the Business Plan competition “The Good Entrepreneur” closes as mentioned earlier. This event is organised by CNBC and is looking for the entrepreneur whose idea can change the world.

Quite a few of us, particularly members of the ESADE Entrepreneurship Club, had planned to participate in this very interesting competition but the final exams have made it almost impossible to deliver something sound that can compete with other European innovators and entrepreneurs. Maybe next time…
