REGULAR PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE -William Penn Dear Members, A happy 2019 to you and your family. We have come so far together! This year holds many opportunities, let’s make the most of it. Time flies as they say, so seize the day and turn that potential into a reality. Here at SGCC, we will continue to forge forward towards making the club vibrant by introducing new programmes that engage a wider spectrum of our members. The General Committee has convened a Constitution Review Committee (CRC). The configuration of the CRC will include the General Committee, The Trustees and a few Independent Members. Their role is to update our Constitution to better reflect the ongoing changes and to ensure the inclusion of new govenance, financial and regulatory requirements. This review will ensure the long term interest of all members. We will have this ready in time for the AGM in June 2019. As always, engagement with members will be part of this important process. The Club has been receiving a higher volume of compliments from members and guests who have noticed the changes in F&B and other physical changes in and around the club. This is all thanks to our GM and his capable Management team. Please do continue to encourage and support them in their initiatives. At this juncture, we are proud to announce the internal promotion of two of our staff taking on the responsibility of Heads of Department (HODs). Both Avelyn Tam (Finance) and Steven Goh (Sports & Recreation) have demonstrated great responsibility and leadership and we are confident that they will continue the good work. Avelyn was instrumental in securing the new ATM machine in our lobby while Steven lead the execution of the Sports Appreciation Camp. As a club, we believe strongly in investing in the development of our staff via training and leveraging on all available government schemes. This is my first attempt at crafting a Chinese New Year Greeting to all our dear members so here goes… 新年快乐,心想事成。 Wishing you and your family a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year, may all your wishes be fulfilled! Always in your service, TERRENCE FERNANDEZ PRESIDENT 2

REGULAR In the spotlight AWARENESS IS KEY T o ensure exclusivity and safety for all members, our security team will continue to be vigilant and proactive in conducting checks on all visitors to the Club. In order for the team to carry out their duties, we seek all members’ patience and cooperation, as this will help prevent trespassers from entering the Club’s premises. Here are a few transgressions commonly encountered by Security Staff. The Club is hoping to seek the full cooperation of members in adhering to them: A) Children should be supervised at all times for their safety as well as the avoidance of disturbance to other members. (View Clause 2.3 & 4.3) B) Members hosting guests are required to sign-in their guests upon entering the Club (View Clause 5) C) Outside food and beverage are not allowed to be consumed at the Club. (View Clause 8) D) Membership Cards are only to be used by the member, whose named is stated on the card, and cannot be used by another person. (View Clause 11) E) Only Member registered vehicles will be allowed entry to members’ car park. Guests will not have the privilege of parking at the members’ car park even upon request of a member. Guests have to park their vehicle at the designated visitor lots available. “At the end of the day, the goals are simple: Safety and Security”.
