REGULARS PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR MEMBERS
I am pleased to share with you that we recently hosted
a visit from Honorary Member David Macey and his
wife Karen at the Club. Mr Macey, who is based in UK,
is the son of the late S.C. Macey, who was the Club’s
founder, benefactor and first Patron-in-Chief. During
his visit, Mr David Macey bestowed upon the Club
a commemorative bowl which was presented to his
father during the opening of the Serangoon Garden
Sports Club (old name of SGCC) in the 1950s. The
bowl is an important part of our Club’s heritage and
we would like to thank Mr Macey for this precious gift
which came at an opportune time as we celebrate the
Club’s 60th Anniversary this year.
The first major event to kick-off our 60th Anniversary
celebrations will be held on 2 August 2015. We will be
having a family fun walk, a carnival at the Main Lobby
and swimming pool area and a Music Festival. It will
be a full-day event and we encourage all members to
join in the fun. This event will be held in conjunction
with the SG50, the nation’s jubilee celebration. As
such, we will be having an Open House on that day
for all to partake in this double celebration.
We will be holding our 60th Anniversary Gala Dinner
on 16 October 2015. This gala dinner will be a special
one, as we will be raising funds for the needy and
disadvantaged in the community through proceeds
from the sale of dinner tickets and funds raised from
the charity auction planned for the event.
There will be a special edition SGCC 60th Anniversary
red wine for sale at all the F&B outlets from May
onwards. We also have a limited number of SGCC
60th Anniversary sets featuring a bottle of the red
wine with a pair of commemorative wine glasses for
sale - look out for the launch in May.
We recently introduced a new daily set lunch menu
at Atrium Cafe and Coffee Deli. We added new items
such as crispy prawns with creamy salted egg yolk,
chicken claypot rice and Thai-style chicken cutlet. We
will be introducing a new a la carte menu in mid-April
featuring new dishes such as Mala Spring Chicken,
Braised Soy Duck with 3-Flavour Rice and Crispy
Fried Sea Bass with Mango Salad. Do give our new
dishes a try.
Gym-goers will be pleased to know that the gym
will reopen from 6pm onwards during its scheduled
quarterly closure for maintenance and cleaning,
instead of a full day closure. We will also be
commencing waterproofing works to the roofs,
including the skylight roof at the Main Lobby, to
address the roof leakage problem.
2
In our sports fraternity, I would like to congratulate all
recipients of the yearly Sports Awards at the recent
Sports Appreciation Nite held on 20 March 2015.
The award recognises outstanding sportsmen and
sportswomen in the Club. This year, we have a total of
9 Merit Award winners and 1 Sustained Achievement
Award winner from sports such as bowling, tennis
and swimming. The Sustained Achievement Award
is a new award to reward those who had won the
Merit Award for 3 consecutive years and have shown
consistent good achievements throughout the years.
Once again, we are conducting our yearly Member
Satisfaction Survey. I would like to request your
support to participate in the survey as your input is
important to help us improve the Club. As part of the
Club’s efforts to achieve better cost savings through
the reduction in postage and printing costs, we will
not be sending members a copy of the survey booklet.
Members are strongly encouraged to do the survey
online and there will be a $5 F&B voucher reward
for participants who complete the survey online. For
those who prefer to use the physical survey forms,
they can still request for a copy at the Main Reception.
The survey is open to all members, including family
members who are at least 12 years of age.
In the upcoming months, you will see some changes to
the design of the ClubSpirit magazine and supplement,
as well as Happenings e-newsletter. Our publications
will sport a more modern look and feel and we hope
that you will enjoy reading them as much as before.
I hope to see you at the Club soon.
Yours Sincerely,
RANDY SNG
President

event, our new members interacted with fellow members as well as the General Committee members, the
Management team and staff. President Randy Sng opened the event with a speech and welcomed all new
members to the SGCC family. After enjoying a sumptuous lunch buffet, some members participated in fun
challenges based on the ever-popular “Minute To Win It” game show.

REGULARS
In The Spotlight
This column features some of the current issues and developments in the Club
which we would like to share with you. Have any feedback to relate to us?
Email us at [email protected].
Relocation of the
Bicycle Parking Area
We have relocated the bicycle
parking area, originally beside
the Security Manager’s office, to the area opposite
the Security Manager’s office. The new bicycle
parking area is now bigger and can accommodate
up to 17 bicycles.
Streamlined Rental of Towels and
Lockers Procedure
Use of Skate Scooters in the Club
Riding of skate scooters in the Club, especially
along walkways and car parks, is extremely
dangerous as accidents might occur. We would like
to remind members that the use of skate scooters
or skateboards is not allowed in the Club, as stated
in the Club Bye-Law (Clause 7.5). If you commute to
the Club using a skate scooter, you can leave your
scooter at the designated scooter parking area near
the Security Guardhouse before entering the Club.
We have recently simplified our procedure for the rental
of towels and lockers at the Gym counter. Members
only need to produce their membership card and the
staff will issue a charge chit for the member to sign.
When returning the towels or locker keys, members
must produce the charge chit or membership card for
the staff to acknowledge the return.
Staying in the Club after Closing Time
There are instances of members staying beyond
the Club’s closing time for private gatherings. We
would like to highlight to members that the Club’s
insurance policy does not cover any incidents that
occur after the Club’s operating hours. As such, we
seek members’ cooperation not to stay in the Club
after closing time.
Opting out of ClubSpirit
Magazine Mailing List
If you have been receiving multiple
copies of the magazine due to multiple
memberships in the household or
do not wish to receive the magazine,
you can opt out of the ClubSpirit
magazine mailing list by informing the
Membership Relations Team or email
[email protected]. You
may like to know that the ClubSpirit
magazine can be viewed on our website
(www.sgcc.com.sg/news-events/
clubspirit) and you can even refer to
past issues up to 6 months ago.
Children Jumping Into the Swimming
Pool
We have noticed that there are instances of children
jumping into the pool without looking out for other
swimmers. This is a very dangerous act as it might
lead to unnecessary accidents. We urge parents to
supervise their children when using the swimming pool.
Post-dated Cheques
Members are advised not to make out post-dated
cheques for the purpose of payment of their
statement of accounts. Post-dated cheques are
not accepted by banks. If members wish to make
payment on a particular future date, it would be
advisable to set up a standing order or one-off
automated payment using the Internet or phone
banking services. Members can visit our website
(www.sgcc.com.sg/membership/policies-schemes)
or approach any of the Reception or Membership
Relations staff for the Club’s bank account details.
Alternatively, members can hand in or mail their
cheques on the date they wish to date their cheques.
Reciprocal Car Park Arrangement with the French School
The Club has a reciprocal arrangement with the French School which allows the Club to utilize the school’s
parking lots after the school’s operating hours and during weekends and public holidays when the Club is in
need of additional car park space. In return, the Club accords the use of the Garden car park on weekdays
during the school term for parents of the children studying at the school to park their vehicles while picking up
and dropping off their kids.

SPECIAL
Special Visit From Honorary Member David Macey
28 January 2015
Blueprints of the Serangoon
Gardens estate
A
"Lo-Hei"
s the Club celebrates its 60th anniversary this
year, it was our pleasure to have hosted a timely
visit from Honorary Member David Macey,
his wife Karen Macey and their guests Mrs
Vivien Farquharson and Mr John Noulton at the Club.
Mr Macey is the son of the late S.C. Macey, who was the
Club’s founder, benefactor and first Patron-in-Chief.
Mr and Mrs Macey’s previous visit to the Club was in
2011.
Also gracing the occasion were Club Trustees Mr
Michael Khor, Mr Hendrick Koh and Mr Anthony Tan,
the Club’s first President Mr Henry Kwek and former
patron Dr Lau Teik Soon. In particular, Mr Kwek and Dr
Lau have been instrumental in transforming the Club
from a sports club in the early years to what it is today
– a family country club with a wide range of facilities.
Former Presidents Mr Thomas Tan, Mr Leong Keng
Thai and Mr Anthony Lim, together with the current
President Mr Randy Sng, General Committee members
and members of the management team were also
present at this special gathering.
Upon their arrival at the Main Clubhouse, Mr and
Mrs Macey and their guests were introduced to
the Heritage Wall, titled “Our Humble Beginnings –
1950s”. The highlight of the visit was when Mr Macey
showed us the blueprints of the Serangoon Gardens
estate and the Commemorative Bowl presented to his
father during the opening of the Serangoon Garden
Sports Club (old name of SGCC) on 10 March 1956.
After a photo-taking session at the Heritage Wall, the
party proceeded to Kensington Ballroom 3 for dinner.
Presenting of
Commemorative Bowl
Happy 61st Birthday, Mr Macey
Before dinner commenced, President Randy Sng
took the opportunity to thank Mr and Mrs Macey and
their guests for visiting the Club. The guests were
then treated to a sumptuous Chinese dinner, which
included ‘Yu Sheng’ to mark the approaching Chinese
New Year. Mr Macey delighted the Club when he
presented the Commemorative Bowl to President
Randy Sng, expressing his wishes for the Club to have
this important piece of heritage. Mr Macey was very
pleased and touched when we surprised him with
a birthday cake, as his 61st birthday was just round
the corner. After dinner, the party adjourned to Club
Twenty-Two for drinks. The visit concluded on a high
note, with Honorary Secretary Bob Mong and his band
mates from The Melodians performing a special Happy
Birthday song for Mr Macey.
It was most definitely our honor to have hosted Mr
and Mrs Macey and their guests during their visit to
Singapore. We look forward to seeing them again in the
near future.
David Macey was conferred the title of Honorary
Member in June 2010, in recognition of the generous
contributions of his father S.C. Macey to the Club.
The Commemorative Bowl bestowed by Mr David
Macey will be placed in the glass cabinet near the main
entrance.

SPECIAL
A Home Away From Home
O
The clubhouse in 1956 was also known as "the hut".
nce the Club’s only staff member, Ms Irene
Ee was also its first female employee and
to date its longest-serving employee, having
worked at the Club for over thirty years.
“In the past, people had never heard of Serangoon
Gardens Country Club. The taxi driver would ask,
‘Where? There is such a club in Serangoon Gardens
estate?”, Ms Ee, now a Membership Executive,
recounted. “Now, they know where it is even without
you having to tell them.”
The Club has come a long way since its days as a
humble “hut”. This year marks the 60th anniversary
of Serangoon Gardens Country Club (SGCC). First
established on 29 April 1955, it was initially known as
Serangoon Garden Sports Club. It was founded by
Squadron Leader Mr Steven Charles (S. C.) Macey,
a former member of the British Royal Air Force and
the Managing Director of Serangoon Gardens Estate
Limited, in charge of the housing development of
Serangoon Gardens estate.
An architect by training, Mr Macey noted that the
area had limited accessibility from other parts of
Singapore and approached the Rural Board for 5.65
acres (approximately 22,864 square metres) of land
along Kensington Park Road to set up a sports club
for residents, following the completion of the housing
project. However, with residents considering it the
obligation of the developer to provide a clubhouse that
was fully furnished, canvassing for membership and
raising funds turned out to be a formidable challenge.
Mr Macey then announced that his company would
pay for all expenses.

Mr S.C. Macey during his address before handing over the keys to
the Club
On 10 March 1956, Serangoon Garden Sports Club
was officially opened exclusively for residents of
Serangoon Gardens estate. In honor of Mr Macey’s
contributions, the main clubhouse was named “Macey
Building”. Members, consisting of mostly British
servicemen, would congregate for soccer and hockey
matches, billiards, darts, contract bridge or tombola.
Whenever rain flooded the soccer field, it would double
up as a swimming pool and fishing pond. With free
movie screenings also available at a makeshift openair cinema, the Club was bustling with life.
Football in the 70s
Enjoying a game of chess
As British troops pulled out of Singapore in the late
1960s and early 1970s, membership was made up
mostly of locals residing in the area. The Club was
later renamed Serangoon Gardens Recreation Club,
with games like soccer and netball increasingly
popular and many tournaments held. Mr Eddy Wee,
who has been with the Club since 1972 and a founding
member, recalls the times with fondness in his voice.
Now a 68-year-old retiree, he used to play soccer with
his friends at the Club and had represented the Club in
competitions at club and constituency levels. Mr Wee
reminisced, “The football field was not maintained
by anybody. Whenever the committee saw that the
football field was in very bad condition, they would
order a lorry-load of soil and dump it. The players
would help to fill up the potholes.”
The Club’s premises suffered from a lack of
maintenance due to dwindling membership. In
1981, the Club was redeveloped to form Serangoon
Gardens Country Club, under the encouragement and
foresight of Dr. Lau Teik Soon (Member of Parliament,
1976 to 1996 for Serangoon Gardens and Thomson
GRC). Dr Lau recalled, “What struck me was that here
was a huge piece of land with great potential. I felt
that, to serve those living in the area more adequately,
the Management Committee should embark on a new
development phase for the Club.”
Beginning on 27 June 1983 and overseen by Mr
Henry Kwek (first President of the Club), Phase One
culminated in the 3-storey main Clubhouse building.
Comprising a landscaped atrium, a computer games
room, a chess room, a restaurant and a discotheque,
it cost $4.2 million and was opened on 5 April 1986 by
Mr E. W. Barker, then Minister for Law. The swimming
pool and the annex building (including spa pools
and squash courts) were added under Phase Two,
enabling members to enjoy a more comprehensive
array of facilities.
In 1994, the 2-storey Heliconia Wing was constructed
under Phase Three, encompassing a jackpot room, a
10-lane bowling alley, a new restaurant and a 200-seat
Plans for the new clubhouse in 1981
auditorium. More recently, in 2008, the Clubhouse’s
right wing was torn down and rebuilt into a 3-storey
wing, adding facilities such as a sports bar (later
revamped into what is now known as the Crossroads
Lounge), a dance and music lounge, a new jackpot
room, a karaoke hall, mahjong rooms and a reading
room to the Club. In 2010, the 500-seat Kensington
ballroom was constructed on the 2nd level of the
Heliconia Wing. In late 2012, newer facilities like The
Hangout were created and the Main Lobby revamped.
The Club has constantly upgraded itself to keep up
with the times and to better serve its members.
Ms Beatrice Gomez, 74 and also a founding member,
regards the Club as her “second home”. Introduced
to the Club in the 1960s by her father-in-law, her
favourite memories include dancing at Club parties
with her late husband and their friends. Now a retiree,
she visits the Club a few times a week to enjoy its
facilities. She shared, “I swim, my grandchildren go to
the gym and we eat. Everything as and when we want.
It’s a second home.”

Chinese New Year Lion & Dragon Dance Performances
20 February 2015
We held our ever popular annual Lion & Dragon
Dance at the Main Lobby on the second day of
Chinese New Year, to usher in the year of the
Goat. Before the start of the event, a cute goat
mascot went round the lobby to mingle with the
audience and there were even lions to usher in
the Trustees, President and General Committee
members.
This was followed by a magnificent drum
performance to hype up the atmosphere. Club
President Randy Sng and Club Trustee Hendrick
Koh then opened the event proper with the dotting
of the lion’s eye, a tradition before the lion dance
to awaken the spirit of the lion and give it life.
Up next was the crowd’s favourite item, the
mei hua zhuang (The Plum Blossom Pole)
performance, which had the lion executing the
dangerous stunt of leaping on wooden poles
wedged into the ground. The excitement did not
stop there. The crowd was then awed by the
next performance, cai qing (Picking the Green)
in which three lions climbed up the poles and
plucked the vegetables attached to it.
After the amazing performances, adults and
children alike waited eagerly for their turns to
receive good luck oranges and ang pows from
the General Committee members and Trustees.

Bright Ideas
Getting creative with your little ones can be challenging. Inspire your child to
try something new with one of these innovative ideas from Stamford American
International School’s Early Years Specialists.
Musical Youth
“Go to a concert. The Singapore Symphony Orchestra has a concert
series called the SSO Babies Prom, suitable for audience members 2
years old and up, to create exposure to live music within a thrilling
musical adventure that children will love. Exposure to quality music is
a very important part of the Suzuki Method, even an hour of passive
listening a day will develop the child’s ear.”
Stamford Music teacher, Katherine Sullivan, introduces the violin
through the Suzuki method in Pre-Kindergarten to build an
understanding of ensemble playing while developing a love for music.
Bilingual Baby
“Visit a local library in Singapore and enjoy story time in Mandarin to
create exposure to the language. At home, subscribe to a Chinese TV
channel and enjoy a Chinese movie night together, showing your child
that as a family this is something you are all interested in will help
encourage them to speak more.”
Mandarin teacher, Violet Chan, introduces Stamford students from 2 to
5 years old to daily Mandarin through stories, music and movement,
cultivating interest in learning languages.
Art Attack
“Visit a range of arts experiences, from galleries to museums; temples
to multicultural artists, exposing your child to a wide range of visual
experiences will help deepen their awareness of different art forms.
Designate an area in your home to allow your children easy access to art
supplies and resources – great if mess scares you!”
Art Specialist, Tanya Vokietaitis, delivers specialist teaching instruction
from Kindergarten 1 at Stamford, experimenting with tools and
techniques to develop the skills and confidence to enhance creativity.
Play Time
“Take a walk on a variety of uneven surfaces; from a trail along the
Green Corridor to a sandy beach, uneven surfaces will help build optimal
strength and endurance. Climbing structures and hanging bars in outdoor
playgrounds also are a great way to strengthening many muscles at once.
For rainy days, blow up some balloons and get your children to try and
keep them off the floor – great for hand eye coordination.”
Stamford PE teacher, David Pendleton-Nash, delivers Physical Education
for 3 to 5 year olds at Stamford. A balanced assessment of the child’s
motor skills, from specialist teachers, ensures that the full range of skills
are developed to provide the foundation for many classroom activities.
