Yes, come 25 October 2011, the Club will be celebrating its 40th Anniversary. The Club has indeed come a long way from its humble beginnings, located in a single-storey building at Dempsey Road, to a Club with 3 Clubhouses and a membership base of about 23,300. The highlights of the past forty years are chronologically listed on pages 6 to 8. As part of the commemoration of this special anniversary, the Club launched the complimentary CSC-PAssion Card for members in May 2011. Most members who opted in will receive their CSC-PAssion Cards by early Jul 2011, together with a complimentary sports utility bag. A series of activities and promotional discounts will be organised for our members at the Club’s outlets in Oct 2011. An Amazing Race, part of the biggest ever Public Service Sports Carnival, will be organised on 26 Nov 2011. The Race will end at Marina Barrage and Gardens By The Bay, the venue for the Carnival. A CSC Karaoke Singing Competition will be held, with preliminaries between Aug and Nov 2011. The finals will be held at the CSC Annual Countdown Party on 31 Dec 2011. (More details on page 10.) Over the past months, all feedback received from members, be they accolades or suggestions for improvements, were promptly attended to. As a result, Bukit Batok Clubhouse has included more pool deck furniture, tightened its maintenance process, resolved the high-pitched noise emitting from the aircon condensers that affected the residents nearby, and organised more social activities. At Tessensohn Clubhouse, the unpleasant smells and smoke from the kitchen of our neighbouring Clubhouse was resolved by installing a proper venting duct in the kitchen to extract smoke from the kitchen. We would like to thank our members for their feedback.

Special thanks to our sponsors: Dawood Exports Pte Ltd, Atos Wellness, and Ina Gail Pte Ltd (the exclusive distributor of Clinelle, Averine and SkinVitals products).

Really appreciate the chance to join in this enjoyable event. – Ms Ng The door gift was meaningful, as was the photos given to us on the spot. The emcee was engaging, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. – Daniel The lunch and entertainment were good. This mother’s day is definitely memorable for my mum and my whole family! – Kelly We enjoyed the lunch. The programme was just nice and entertaining. It was meant to be a surprise for our mother. When she walked in, she was shocked to see all her children there and she actually sat on the edge of the stage because her legs felt weak! – Mrs Seah 12 CSC played host to Comifest 2, an annual gathering of comics, characters and games for cosplay fans. Comifest was first held at the Suntec Convention Centre. This year, the greenery and waters of Bukit Batok Clubhouse drew the organisers away from the concrete jungle and into a luscious green-and-blue natural setting! Over the two days (4 to 5 June), the Club saw larger-thanlife characters who stepped out from the pages of manga and fantasy comics. They descended upon the clubhouse, decked out in a dazzling riot of exotic costumes, colourful hairstyles and gung-ho attitudes mirroring those of their manga characters'. For cosplay and manga fans in Singapore, Comifest 2 was indeed a feast for the eyes and mind, with manga characters galore! Participants and fans alike had a great time. Experienced cosplayer, Cassandra Thai, was dressed as Alice from Pandora Hearts, while her friend Jia Sin, a first-time participant, was there as Will of Abyss. Cassandra described the event as "awesome!" and "really fun", while Jia Sin said it was "fantastic" to be able to "wear fancy costumes which I don't get to do in school". Zhiwen, in the guise of sword-wielding Hitsugaya Toushirou, was also taking part in his first cosplay event and felt it was a great experience! It was a indeed treat for our members, visitors and photographers who came to capture the parade of flamboyant costumes and props.
