A Message from the President
Dear Members,

I hope you and your families enjoyed the festive season. Some of you may have taken advantage of the new Vaccinated Travel Lanes and travelled to see loved ones after a long time apart. Others stayed back in Singapore and enjoyed the fantastic weather and some quality time at the Club.
The start of a new year is always a great moment to reflect a little on the past year and, more importantly, to look forward to a new year full of opportunities.
The year 2021 marked the 150th anniversary of our Club, and we had grand plans to celebrate this memorable event. Needless to say, the pandemicrelated restrictions made most of them impossible. Still, we provided the Club and the Members with a beautiful birthday gift in the form of our newly renovated Clubhouse.
The Committee and the Management will continue to identify and implement initiatives to enhance our offering and services for our Members. The largest project scheduled in 2022 is the renovation of our Pavilion. This initiative will offer Members a fantastic gym and studio with a view to the jungle as well as new function rooms for your private and company events. I want to take this opportunity to thank our Members for their tremendous support during the year. Our F&B offering is a good example, which Members enjoyed despite everchanging restrictions – from takeaway only to dining for five, to dining for eight, and back to dining for two.
Many thanks to Aaron, Adrian and their team for the great job they’ve done during this incredibly challenging year. They have continually had to adapt to new rules, redesigning or even postponing events, whilst always finding new ways to maintain the appeal of the Club.
Let’s all hope that the new year will be less dominated by the pandemic, offering us some greater normality again. Based on recent developments, this looks reasonably promising.
On behalf of my fellow Committee members, the Management team and all our staff, I wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year in 2022.
