 Race to Rugby World Cup
 It was a privilege to have rugby enthusiasts and
 adventurers Ron Rutland and Adam Nunn visit
 the Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) on Sunday,
 29 May 2022. They were being hosted at the SCC by
 the Singapore chapter of the Rhinos rugby fraternity.

 Ron, having previously cycled from London to Tokyo to
 deliver the 2019 Rugby World Cup whistle together with
 his riding partner Adam, were here on route cycling
 from Tokyo to Paris to deliver the ceremonial match
 whistle for the opening game of the men’s Rugby World
 Cup in France which kicks off in September 2023.

 From Singapore, it will be island hopping across Indonesia, a ferry to Darwin, cycle to Sydney and the duo then
 fly to New Zealand to deliver the ceremonial whistle for the opening game of the women’s Rugby World Cup 2022
 beginning on October 8th.

 The next leg will be to cycle through South and North America, fly across to Iceland then the UK, before they
 embark on the final leg of cycling to Paris for the start of the RWC 2023.

 More than just an adventure, the duo plan to raise $200,000 for the ChildFund Rugby, a charity which offers
 opportunities for young people from disadvantaged communities to play, learn and lead through Rugby
 and sport.

 When asked what the most challenging aspect of the journey is, Ron quipped, “It is keeping the ceremonial
 whistle safe and making sure it makes it to both New Zealand and France in time for the respective
 Rugby World Cups.”

 The Singapore Cricket Club wishes them safe travels and may they inspire others to embark on similar journeys
 of giving back to the larger community through Sport.

 Well done to our Sections for their hard work competing against Singapore Recreation Club (SRC) and a big thank-you for winning
 us the Padang Shield this year!
 Every two years, one club will cross the Padang field to visit the other and renew ties through friendly competition and shared meals.
 We were to host our neighbour SRC in 2000 but unfortunately the Padang Shield Games had to be postponed due to the pandemic.
 This year we have finally been able to host this event, and it has been our privilege and honour to do so.
 Here’s to many more years of camaraderie between our clubs... Til the next time!

 Wine Circle Convenor: Naveen Gupta | Article by: Joanna Ossinger

The Wine Circle held an event at the STUMPS terrace on 22 June that gave members, especially those who couldn’t attend previous
events, an opportunity to sample different wines in a networking session. Attendees were treated to offerings of white and red, some
sparkling, from various places around the world.
The event offered a nice chance for some of our newer members to meet more people in the section, as well as members of the Club
leadership including President Zoher Motiwalla, some General Committee members and some representatives from the leadership of
other Sections who were our honored guests for the occasion
A special congratulations goes to Section Member Vijay Sirse, who was awarded a bottle of wine for his recent successful efforts to
recruit more members.
The Wine Circle continues to expand, and we would invite anyone interested in learning more or attending our events to reach out to
Ms. Cassie Wong at cassie.wong@scc.org.sg. The section has a number of events in the works in coming months. We don’t require
sophisticated knowledge of wines (though people with that talent are always welcome!) – we welcome anyone who enjoys a nice glass
now and then.

MY VISIT TO JURONG FROG FARM
On 16 April 2022
Written by Ralph Higgins (8) with his brother Gus Higgins (6).

My visit to the Jurong frog farm with my brother was pleasantly a lot better
than I assumed it would be.

Entering the farm, expecting to be bored, I imagined the bulk of the day was
going to be us just looking at the bullfrogs and taking in dry information.

It caught me by surprise when the guide dropped some interesting
information about the reason the bullfrog got its name, We all learned that
this particular creature was called the bullfrog because people thought they
sounded like a bull. What happened next was an unbelievable experience
we would not soon forget.

We got to hold and feed many frogs. And for those who have not
gone to the frog farm, here is a challenge for you: I caught 54
frogs - can you get more?

And while it might make many stomachs cringe, I enjoyed deep
fried crocodile meat and frog with tomato ketchup to round off the
amazing day at the Jurong Frog Farm.

WILLING HEARTS:
A QUEST TOWARDS ZERO HUNGER
On 7 May and 4 June 2022
Written by Shriya Asha Sharma (Grade 7, Canadian International School, Singapore)

It was 8:00 am on a Saturday and I jumped out of bed, excited
to begin my adventure at Willing Hearts. For those unaware
of what Willing Hearts is, it is a charity maintained entirely by
volunteers. According to the Willing Hearts website, “It operates
a soup kitchen that prepares, cooks, and serves more than
11,000 daily meals to over 70 locations over the island”. The
aged, disabled, low-income families, children from single-parent
households or other impoverished families, and migrant workers
in Singapore are all beneficiaries of the food that the volunteers
prepare. We were given this meaningful opportunity to support the
charity through the Singapore Cricket Club, where they asked for
volunteers as part of their community outreach program. My family
regularly volunteers with this charity, and we’ve always found the
experience very rewarding. And this time was no different.

We reached our destination and after signing in, were greeted by
the lovely smell of freshly cooked food motivating us to head straight
to the source of the fantastic aroma. After arriving at the
packing area, we proceeded to put on our mandatory PPE
(personal protective equipment) to ensure high standards
of hygiene which included aprons, a hairnet and a pair of
gloves. My mom and I put the PPE on straight away, eager
to start helping together with the familiar volunteers we saw.

My first duty was to pack the rice into the containers so
that the rest of the volunteers at my station could load in
the other food. At first, I found this a bit tricky as the rice
was steaming hot and the proportions had to be just right.
I kept at it and eventually started to get the hang of it! Sure
enough, when we reached the end of packing, I learned
a new skill and was quite proficient in putting the rice
strategically into the containers, avoiding food wastage and
over-serving.

After that my mom suggested that we make our way to the vegetable area where people
were washing, cutting, sorting and peeling vegetables. We found an empty spot,
grabbed the carrots and started peeling! It was not long after that we decided to
play a little game to see who could peel carrots the fastest and safe to say, it was
a tie. I was having so much fun that I didn’t even realise three hours had gone by
because as the saying goes, time flies when you are having fun!

Reflecting on my experience, I truly appreciate the many fascinating aspects of
Willing Hearts and how they connect to one of the UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals - Zero Hunger. Two goals are at the forefront of this effort. The first one
is the fact that the people volunteering at Willing Hearts put in a lot of time and
effort to make sure the food they make is healthy, nourishing and packed with
nutrients. Secondly, they also ensure that the quantity of the portions is just the
right amount for someone to finish and as a result, encouraging sustainability. This
practice of minimal food wastage guarantees that every last bit of food that has
been produced is used for the meals. Willing Hearts also serves as a collection
point for food donations - both from organizations and individuals. The volunteers
at Willing Hearts make sure that all the food that is donated is put to good use and
helps people in need. This is indeed “food for thought” for all of us. Knowing that
there are many people around the world with limited access to sufficient and healthy
food, we should consider donating to charities like Willing Hearts to pay it forward.

In addition to providing food, Willing Hearts also provides trauma-related services,
dentistry, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and optical care which helps
their beneficiaries, as stated by the website to “Assist and guide them towards
rehabilitating and reinstating themselves as useful members of our society.”

I left Willing Hearts that day inspired and thrilled to have done my little part to help
this organization and its noble cause. I realized that no matter who you are or what
level of skill you have, you can always do your bit to help a good cause. I would
say that my biggest takeaway from this experience is to never feel too shy to take
action for the causes I believe in and to always help where I can as it is one of the
biggest ways to contribute to the community.

With the summer almost fully upon us, The Hockey SCChool is
approaching its first year of operations. The SCChool has had
quietly been successful with 40 kids on its roster without any major
marketing.
We are going to complete Term 3 since inception and Term 4, when
we return from summer break, will be definitely bigger and better.
The Hockey SCChool is proud to announce that our U10 mixed
teams did ever so well in their first official competitive outing. Both
our teams finished in Gold and Silver positions in the Vesaki U10
4v4 Hockey Tournament. This delightful start has validated our
training methods and we look to continue in this vein.
Our coaching team has been growing and we now have on board
on a full-time basis, Kishon Sagayaraja. The SCC Men’s 2s
defender and NROC Level 1 coach handles our fledglings at the
SCChool. Together with parent volunteer and accomplished player
James Buchanan and SCC Ladies 1’s Goalkeeper Sally Aldridge,
Kishon puts our 7 and under kids through their paces.
We recently signed up Valerie Koh. The 21-year-old former
Singapore International (she should become current soon) is a
Community Coach (under assessment) and has been great with
the kids. She works along myself (SCC and The Hockey SCChool
Head Coach) with the 11 and older kids.
Paramjit Singh, the experience NROC Senior Coach handles
together with parent volunteers, Toby Gresham (SCC Hockey
Section Member and weekday evening Padang enthusiast) and
Rachel Flynn (SCC Ladies’ 1s captain) all the other kids in between
the two groups.
We are currently in negotiations to bring on board a top level
coach with title winning pedigree in the national schools division to
beef up our technical team to ensure The Hockey SCChool keeps
scaling new heights.
We have a camp slated for July on 18 to 22 July from 9 to 11am
daily and then again from 3 to 5 August at the same time on the
immaculate lawns of the Padang. Please drop me a note on join@
hockeyscchool.com for enquiries.

 The SCC Rugby Academy
 celebrates a decade of success on
 the Singapore rugby scene.
 By Anne-Marie Parnell

 Rugby is very much back alive and kicking in Singapore despite some of our toughest months ever. The pandemic was always going
 to be painful for team sports – isolation just doesn’t work on a rugby pitch. But the SCC Rugby Academy is now emerging on the other
 side – and this is our 10th anniversary year! Thankfully enough of the year remains to celebrate.
 Formed in January 2012, the Academy sprung out of the desire of players from the SCC Rugby Section to pass on to their kids the love
 of the game. In fact, many have literally grown up at the Academy - current members like Anna Cook, Sean Shepherd, Sam Webb, Rufus
 Barton, Jonathan Andersen, Aran Willetts and their families joined in the Club’s first year - some of those at our first ever training session.
 We’ve recently said a fond farewell to Simon Etheredge and his family. Simon was one of the founders and pillars of the Academy and
 recently headed back to New Zealand. And who knew that ten years on after taking their kids for a kick about on day one, Academy
 President Richard Cook and Academy Directors Marc Lansonneur and Clare Ferguson would still be involved, as well as Sarah Finley,
 who never wants to use the word ‘pod’ again! There’s been massive input from many other families too and each has left their indelible
 mark on the Club and we hope, in return, the Academy on them. They have helped make our dream a reality – a Club offering top quality
 rugby, touch and girls contact rugby training – to more than 500 kids across Singapore, striving to be a leading club in Southeast Asia.
 It’s been a decade of sad goodbyes too as inevitably Academy families have come and gone in the ebb and flow of life - many will enjoy
 the sport for the rest of their lives, for some it will be their lives - like Orson James who started on day one of the Academy - he now plays
 Wales U18.
 A mix of locals and expats, the Academy attracts kids from around 100 different schools across Singapore. One of our fastest growing
 sections is among our girls - with strong leadership and coaching building excellent Touch and contact Rugby teams over the last few
 years.
