A Message from the President

I WANT TO THANK YOU, OUR MEMBERS, FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS SUPPORT DURING THE YEAR. WE ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK, WHETHER VIA YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE MEMBER SURVEY OR DIRECT FEEDBACK TO THE TEAM.

Dear Swiss Club Members,

I am sure many of you took the opportunity to travel during the festive season, enjoying time with friends and family – something that had been challenging or even impossible for the last two years. For those who remained in Singapore, I hope you had the opportunity to enjoy some time at the Club.

As we bid farewell to 2022 – another year to remember – it is, as always, an excellent time to reflect on the past year and, even more importantly, look forward to a new year full of opportunities and, no doubt, some challenges.

In 2022, we finalised our major Club upgrading project. It started with the pool area, followed by the main Clubhouse, and concluded with our Pavilion receiving a well-deserved upgrade. I feel sure you’ll agree that it was worth the effort, and makes our Club an even better place in which to spend quality time in Singapore. For those Members who didn’t visit the Club often in 2022, perhaps spending more time at the Club can be part of your New Year’s resolution!

I am confident that you’ll also agree with me when I say that the Management team of the Swiss Club has done a tremendous job in 2022. Events have been successfully relaunched, with the Swiss National Day and the Oktoberfest as the clear highlights. We’ve also enjoyed many other smaller, well-executed events, from quiz nights to the glamorous 80s party. A massive thank you goes to the Management and the entire team for going the extra mile to deal with all the uncertainties and making the impossible happen.

I want to thank you, our Members, for your tremendous support during the year. We also thank you for your feedback, whether via your participation in the Member Survey or direct feedback to the team.

You can look forward to an action-packed 2023. The team has planned a lot of exciting sports and social activities as well as culinary promotions, dozens of smallerscale events and, of course, our key events from the Summerfest to the Swiss National Day celebrations and the Oktoberfest. We hope to see you participate in many of these wonderful gatherings. Your first opportunity will be the upcoming Chinese New Year festivities!

On behalf of the Management team, all our employees and my fellow Committee Members, I wish you and your loved ones Happy Holidays and a prosperous, healthy and Happy New Year in 2023.

T. von Rueti
