Hi - anyone know whether there are any ex-pat friendly netball teams/leagues in KL? I'm gutted to be parting company with my London league when we move out. An alternative might be for me to try to set up a league on my arrival if nothing does exist... so anyone interested, please do shout!

Hi LIVKL

Yes, there is one run by MANZA on Friday mornings, I think, close by to the Garden School. They are always looking for new players. You can get in touch with them thru this page http://www.manza.org/contact-us/

Brilliant, brilliant, thanks ajw you are a star!! Sounds silly but that news has made me feel just a tiny bit happier about coming to KL...not that I wasn't very happy already before! My other love is Iyengar yoga and I've already come across one place where I can join classes for that, so with netball too I'll be well away! Very amusing that the league is run by MANZA... I should have thought to check their site, seeing as the league I'm in here is also run by Aussies!

All us Aussie girls grow up doing netball at school

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The Manza girls are a good bunch.

Yeah... that's what I've never understood - I grew up playing netball at school in the UK and always assumed all other schools here played it too... but apparently not! Very sad...

I also saw an advert today in the Abwm weekly email about a netball league starting up, also at the Garden School. The Abwm is well worth joining. I loved their HelloKL course and met lots of great people through the association. http://www.abwm.com.my/ABWM_New/Home.html

Another thank you, ajw! I had a look at the abwm site a while back but didn't clock their HelloKL course - that sounds like a pretty good idea for someone like me who won't be benefitting from any kind of "induction" through a pre-move employer... will add your note to my "to check out/remember when we arrive" list, which is growing pretty lengthy already, eek!
