My dear fellow members, The General Committee has put aside Wednesday 3 March as possible date for

the Special General Meeting we have been waiting for. Notice and background documents will be mailed to members soon.

In the course of gathering feedback and running through many figures to compile background data for the Master Plan, much useful information has been gleaned.

Statistics clearly demonstrate that, generally, members who come to the Club for sports activities spend much more than others.

Naturally so, as it is likely they will come regularly and, that being the case, it is likely they will stay behind for refreshment and

The most internationally acclaimed British production of HAMLET for years arrives in Singapore for a short run at THE RAFFLES JUBILEE HALL FROM 23 TO 25 FEBRUARY 2004 AT 7 PM.

Tickets: $25 (Students), $65 (Adults).

Available at SISTIC outlets. Hotline: 6348 5555.

Website: www.sistic.com.sg This Hamlet is innovative and original without imposing and easy "interpretation" on one of the most complex and theatrical texts ever written. The style of the production is physical and dynamic, the imagery startling and original. Music is woven through the piece: the actors themselves play and sing a complex score by noted composer Thomas Johnson which is fully Integrated into the action, more in the manner of film than theatre. The text itself is unique, the structure of the controversial first quarto is used with dialogue from both that early acting text and the longer and later Folio.

T

Scenes combine poetry, choreography and music in a satisfying whole, so that the ghost draws on budo dance and possession rituals rather than clanking around in armour. The final bloodbath is a ritual played out to the menacing accompaniment of soprano and violin.

Directed by Paul Stebbings Musical score by Tom Johnson Produced by Grantly Marshall, the AMERICAN GROUP EUROPE and Art Promotion.

Humour is there too, Rosencrantz and Guildenstem are rediscovered

as commedia clowns and Yorick's skull springs to life.

TNT have established themselves as one of the most successful

and original international touring theatres. This is a rare opportunity to see the ensemble in Singapore.

1 Last year's Christmas Ladies' Luncheon certainly proved to be very different. For a change from the AWA choir, members from the Club put together a

delightfully varied show based on the Christmas theme. Songs performed by a number of members drew on both local flavour and on Santa and his

cohorts. The atmosphere in the Churchill Room was

certainly festive and Christmas cheer was in the air.

Each table was given a quiz to complete and winners were announced towards the end of

lunch. A wonderful surprise for the ladies came

in the form of Remy, dressed beautifully in shimmering black gown. She wowed the audience with song and dance number "I Am What I Am".

The amusing fashion show targeted those who were saving money over Christmas, and outfits consisted of items that could

be found in the home. Sam. the Club's

evergreen entertainer, looked particularly fetching in his "little number".

There was a fabulous spread for lunch and the ladies enjoyed both the food and the afternoon's entertainment.

Any score over, say 22, is not a bad 'choice' Balut Is a game played with five dice by two or more players. Each player in turn shakes the dice, numbered 1 to 6, using a leather box and throws them onto a pad or flat surface. Each player shall have up to three throws in each round and may put out any number of dice after either of the

Alsha Elliott will be starting a Bridge session for

Bridge The holiday season usually finds Singapore in an "aces and spaces" type situation, like a

dreaded no-trump hand, as so many people take offfor vacations. The Card Room, however,

seems to have been packed to capacity and

soon it may be necessary to set up additional tables in the bar area outside! The reason?

Bridge enthusiasts visiting children or friends in Singapore over Christmas and New Year know that they are assured of a warm welcome and a stimulating but friendly game at The Tangiin Club. Credit for this must surely go to our core

group of Bridge stalwarts, who have always ''encouraged newcomers, no matter what their level of expertise.

novices on Tuesday afternoons from 1.00 pm to 4.30 pm. If you don't have a partner, you will be paired. It promises to be a very friendly group, giving an opportunity to those who are new to

the game to uninhlbitedly sharpen their skills and experiment with strategies. If you'd like to join, please contact Aisha on 6468 2372 for more details. As with the regular Monday,

Wednesday and Friday games, all are very welcome.

Mark your calendars for the next Worldwide Bridge event - this will be a Charity Game held on Wednesday 17 March at 1.00 pm in the Raffles Room. It's sure to be an enjoyable afternoon with some unusual and challenging

hands - good Bridge and for a good cause.

Having been a recipient of their patience and

support, I firmly believe that, more than anything else, it is this nucleus of genteel but unsung

heroes(or rather heroines) that keeps the spirit of the game going strong. A big thank you to all of you from the growing band of humble

Enjoy what's left of our winter and pack in as much Bridge as you can!

some prefer to scrub straight, others balut.

That is really a personal preference. Balut always scores 30, regardless of which dice, straights are the sum of the dice 15 or 20 In consecutive numbers.

The aim is to score as many points as

possible by the end of the game - the maximum under these rules being 183.
