A Message from the General Manager

HOPEFULLY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR I’LL BE TELLING A DIFFERENT STORY, FINGERS CROSSED, AND THERE WILL BE NOT ONLY LIGHT ON THE HORIZON BUT DATES ON OUR CALENDAR FOR THE BIGGEST BASH OF THE SUMMER AND THE BIGGEST, BEERIEST PARTY OF THE YEAR!

Dear Members,

I hope you all enjoyed a heartwarming festive season with loved ones, either in Singapore or in your respective home countries. For many of you, it would have been your first trip home in two years. I can only imagine the joyous reunions!

I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome back our existing Members and welcome our new ones. I am pleased to share that 250 new Members joined our community in 2021, which is quite a feat in these uncertain times. Thank you for choosing us over other Clubs. I am confident that you won’t be disappointed.

While our events have been unavoidably scaled down due to COVID-19, we are working hard to reinstate many of the celebrations and activities that the Club staged and hosted prior to the pandemic. Already, many of the smaller celebrations have returned – including our annual Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner, our Easter Brunch and our Mother’s Day Brunch. Please book early to avoid disappointment, as these are normally fully booked days if not weeks in advance. Needless to say, our epic events, namely Summerfest and Oktoberfest, are unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future. Hopefully this time next year I’ll be telling a different story, fingers crossed, and there will be not only light on the horizon but dates on our calendar for the biggest bash of the summer and the biggest, beeriest party of the year!

Change is the only constant, as the saying goes. While it’s something of a cliché, it’s certainly never been more applicable than it is today. In response to these fast-changing times, we’ve been working on a few changes of our own. Please look out for new systems, new menus, some new Club furniture, and new RFID membership cards in the months to come. We’ve also recruited some new staff members, so look out for a few new faces around the Club. Rest assured that we are constantly striving to improve the Swiss Club experience.

I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for patiently and graciously accepting the necessary inconveniences of COVID-19. Please do continue to observe all necessary protocols on Safe Management Measures (SMM) and VaccinationDifferentiated Safe Management Measures (VDS), and remind your Guests to do likewise.

Meanwhile, enjoy your recently renovated Clubhouse and restaurants, and look forward to the completion of Phase 2 of the renovation plans, now in progress.

Finally, on behalf of the Management and staff, I wish you and your families a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Let’s hope that the good far outweighs the bad, and that all future surprises will be pleasant ones.

Yours sincerely,

A. Lim
