1. I hope you have all had a nice week?
It has been busy here at Synchro ERP....
I have finalized the merchandise for CastExpo in April
and have ordered some brilliant stuff, If you’re going
make sure you stop by booth #1463 and grab a freebie!
The training Team have been out and about helping our
wonderful customers.
The support team have been busy in the office and the
MD's are on important business in the Isle of Man.
It was our wonderful Sales and Marketing Director's
birthday on the 31st January and Leah wanted to send
her a special birthday message...
Leah has kept me busy this week and her favourite
activities were finger painting and swimming....

2. So Chinese new year is nearly upon us and everyone
here at Team Synchro would like to wish our Chinese
customers a Very Happy One.

3. Chinese New Year will begin on 10th February which
marks the start of the new year of the Snake.
The year will be 4711 on the Chinese calendar.
Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival.
It marks the end of the winter season and is the grandest
and most important festival of the year.
It is also the time for families to get together, which is
similar with Christmas Day to westerners.
Originating during the Shang Dynasty (about 17th - 11th
century BC), spring festival is full of rich
and colourful activities, and new hopes with the advent
of Spring and flowers blossoming.
Traditions...
As the Chinese use the lunar calendar for their festivals
the date of Chinese New Year changes from year to year.
The date corresponds to the moon (black moon) in
either late January or February - Traditionally

4. celebrations last for 15 days, ending on the date of the
full moon.
The Chinese zodiac follows a twelve year cycle, each of
the years being named after an animal. The Chinese
believe that people born on a particular year take on the
characteristics of the animal associated with that year.
As always I hope you've been enjoying the Facebook
posts.
Catch up next week :)
