PAGE 1 THE TANGLIN CLUB
President’s Message
Dear Fellow Members
Going Green
Thanks to the hard work of our Energy Task Force (ETF), the Club
converted 4,000 light bulbs to new energy efficient bulbs. This
has meant that each year, we save 30,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh),
equivalent to $60,000/annum, approximately 5.5% of the Club’s
entire consumption in a year.
Now we embark upon our next initiative – the replacement of
the existing indoor tennis court lighting with energy efficient
LED lights. These courts currently consume about $4,000 in utility
cost per month. With improved LED technology, it is possible to
replace these lamps to achieve a dramatic reduction in power
consumption, and subsequently, a reduction in our utility bill, whilst
improving the overall brightness (lux level) and lower ambient
temperature for a better playing experience. Our specifications
are per the International Tennis Federation lighting standards
(Class I) for Indoor Tennis Court. We awarded the contract in midFebruary and the installation is expected to commence in April. We
anticipate that it will take 5 days per court. Your patience during
this project is appreciated. This step bodes well toward being a
more sustainability conscientious Club.
Library Renovation Update
Now that the design has been agreed by all the key stakeholders,
the project is in the hands of the Development and Planning SubCommittee (DPSC) for execution. Renovation works are expected
to start in early April. Please note that the contractors will be working
daily from 9.00am to 8.00pm, however, no noisy works will be done
between 12 noon and 2.00pm and after 6.00pm. We anticipate
that this project will take about 14 weeks, with a view to opening
by July. We thank you for your tolerance and apologise for any
inconvenience caused. For more information on the renovation,
please feel free to email to our Facilities Director Sunny at
[email protected].
Once the Library re-opens at the Main Clubhouse as a combined
reading room and library, the operating hours will be 9.00am to
8.00pm, daily, excluding public holidays. Previously, the Library
was open from 10.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Friday, 10.00am to
5.00pm Saturday, and 10.00am to 3.00pm Sunday. We hope that
Members will enjoy the broadened hours of operation.
New Guest Rooms
Further to the Development and Planning Sub-Committee (DPSC)
2015/16 Interim Report, five submissions were carefully evaluated
for the creation of 11 new guest rooms at the Sports Complex.
The shortlisted firms were interviewed by the DPSC, and the GC
subsequently approved DPSC's endorsement to include this project
at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) slated for 30 May. Last fiscal
year, the rooms created $1.4M. As written previously, this revenue
stream serves the Club’s financial health very well and as such, we
aim to increase revenue from this source.
Tangles
The proposed layout is currently before the GC for its endorsement.
At the time of printing, the drawings, costs and timeline had yet
to be reviewed, so additional news at this time is not possible. We
hope, however, to start this final phase of the SGM $2.5M project
by late April to bring you a refreshed Tangles Café soon.
Subscription Increase
Subscriptions were last increased in 2008 and we have
done well to contain costs. However, inflation since
2008 till-date (26%) has not been recovered except
through revenue growth. With 35% of our revenue
from subscriptions being fixed, the burden of cost
increases falls on our other 65%; F&B and facilities
prices will need to be increased disproportionately
and reduce our ability to deliver “everyday good
value” to Members. The GC has considered
carefully other revenue enhancing alternatives of
increases prices for F&B and facilities, including car
park fees but feels that a subscription increase is in
the interest of Members. The GC has therefore put
forth a proposal to increase subscriptions at this May
2016 AGM.
Annual General Meeting 2016
As mentioned in my previous message, the GC has
resolved that our 150th Annual General Meeting
(AGM) will take place on 30 May at the Churchill
Room. Please save the date. Besides sharing our fiscal
year 2016/2017 budget, other projects planned for
vote at this AGM are the subscription increase, the
proposed 11 new guest rooms project in the Sports
Complex, a major IT overhaul, and the appointment
of our auditors, among other Club Rule changes.
Next month, we will include a detailed report from
the IT Sub-Committee, to complement the IT focus
group discussions.
Members’ Dialogue on 25 April
I, joined by my fellow-GC colleagues, invite you
to attend our Members’ Dialogue on 25 April,
7.00pm, at the Theatrette. The DPSC will present its
proposal and field questions from Membership. It's
an excellent way to better inform yourself before the
vote is called.
I look forward to meeting you at the Members’
Dialogue later this month.
Regards
Robert Wiener

Editor’s Message
Dear Fellow Members
Member Satisfaction Survey
Many of you would have remembered the recent Clubwide Member Satisfaction Survey that was conducted
early this year. In that survey, over 750 Members responded
(a very generous sample size). My thanks again to all
Members who participated in that survey. An overall
summary of the survey results has been posted on page 1
of this month’s issue. For a detailed summary of the results,
please go to our Club website in the following link: http://
www.tanglinclub.org.sg/news-updates.html
I would like to briefly focus on the “Management
Communication” area of the survey.
On the whole, 85% of the survey participants are either
“satisfied”, or “very satisfied” with Management’s
communication effectiveness. An 85% satisfaction
number is an encouraging number, and this leaves 14%
of Members who feel neutral, and 1% who are either
“unsatisfied” or “very unsatisfied”.
To try and better understand the neutral and dissatisfied
Members, we went through the comments posted by
Members related to this question. My thanks to Members
for their constructive feedback. I’ve posted some of the
comments below, and our responses to them:
• “Too many emails”, “NewsBites… come just too
frequently…”, and “Too many e-blasts focused on the
same events”: Interestingly, we also see comments from
other Members such as “NewsBites frequency is good”,
“The email blasts… very effective and informative”, “Email
updates much better and more informative than old
newsletter”, and “Email updates much more informative”.
While it is difficult to please everyone, the team is closely
monitoring this point to ensure that we do not cross the
‘email fatigue’ line.
• “Newsletters are slightly slow in coming”: Apologies for
that. Workflow processes have been tightened to ensure
this doesn’t happen again.
• “Would have been good if we were better informed
about the Club’s recent charity efforts”: All Club charity
efforts have been posted in the past issues of our Club
magazine, usually in the month following the charity
event.
• “I might have missed it, but I seem not to get results
published of the numerous surveys…?”: We have posted
the results of our last two recent surveys on the Club
website (under the “News & Updates” section).
• “Give Members the option not to receive the hard copy
magazine”: If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving the
hardcopy of the Club magazine, please drop an email to
the Marcom team at [email protected].
Combined May/June Magazine Issue Trial
As a trial, we will be combining the magazine issues for the
months of May and June this year into a single combined
issue. The combined issue will highlight all events, activities,
and F&B promotions for the months of May and June, and
will be delivered to Members by 1 May 2016. The reasons
for the trial are as follows:
• Many of our Members go on vacation in June. As
such, June is the slowest month of the year for the Club,
operationally and events-wise, and thus a “low news”
month.
• Further contributing to June being a “low news” month
is the 30 May Club Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The June issue will not feature any results of the 30 May
AGM (such as resolutions passed, and the new General
Committee), since the final magazine draft copy will
need to go to the printers around the 18th of May.
• All Sections will be dissolved at the 30 May AGM, and it
will take several weeks before the new sub-committees
and section committees are formed and ratified, further
contributing to the “low news” month in June.
• The recent December 2015 Members’ Communications
Survey shows that Members who have subscribed to
NewsBites prefer the NewsBites email platform for new
updates on Club events and information, than the
magazine.
• As introduced approximately 20 months ago, a printed
news pamphlet will be included in the June statement mail,
if there is any information that needs to be disseminated
to Members in June.
• The combined issue trial will represent savings of
approximately $8,000.
The outcome of the combined issue trial will be evaluated
to see if it is viable moving forward. During this period, the
Club’s electronic communications channels (NewsBites,
the Club website, and the digital screens) will continue
to serve Members any new last-minute updates or events
that are not in the combined issue.
That’s all the updates for now. I wish you a pleasant, wellengaged, and meaningful life.
Enjoy our magazine.

General Manager’s Message
"... throughout the year, we will
endeavour to address key issues,
with a view to further enhancing
your satisfaction. "
Dear Members
Introducing Executive Chef, Eric Cheam
Last month, the Team, joined by Members of the General
Committee, gathered to wish Executive Chef Louis Tay a
fond farewell. Chef Louis faithfully served the Club for over
seven years and his award-winning culinary expertise will be
much missed.
The Great Aussie BBQ
In celebration of ANZAC Day, the Chefs will be putting
“shrimp on the barbie” and a whole lot more for this
family-friendly BBQ, inclusive of live music featuring
music from down under, and beer promotions from
“Little Creatures”.
This month, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our
new Executive Chef, Eric Cheam, most recently from the
Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Prior to the Mandarin Oriental, Chef
Eric was the Chef de Cuisine at the Marina Bay Sands, where
he seamlessly served events as large as 6,500. Besides being a
certified on-the-job trainer, Eric is a certified risk management
auditor, and a level three supervisory Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Point (HACCP) officer, invaluable to his new role at the
helm of our Culinary Team, that sees approximately $6 Million
in groceries processed across approximately 600,000 meals
each year. Chef Eric is very much looking forward to hearing
culinary feedback from you. Please join me in making Chef
Eric feel welcomed. Pages 15-16 feature a profile on Chef Eric,
so please do take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with
his background.
Tour de Singapura
Fitness fans, unite! Aziz and the Gym Team are ‘rolling out’
The Tour de Singapura, a 30-day cycling competition
that requires you to ride a minimum of 70 km per week.
Page 35 has more details, or have a chat with Aziz.
Mad about Mediterranean
As part of our continual quest to bring you inspiring new
dishes, our culinary adventure, this month, sees us profile the
Mediterranean delights of Italy, Spain, France, Turkey and
Greece. Our Tavern and Wheelhouse salad bars have been
accented with a Mediterranean twist as has the Wheelhouse
Express Lunch line-up. Our Mediterranean Odyssey also sees
the Churchill Room whip up a Mediterranean Set Dinner nightly
in April. So if you are mad about Med, you will want to join us for
this month-long promotion by resident guest Chef Esmeraldo,
and Chef Eric – Eric’s specialty.
“Plugged-in” Parenting
Mom and Dads, while today’s multi-media environment
can be a learning aid and an ally, it can also be a
source of conflict or a convenient ‘babysitter’. Join
Cheryl Ng, accredited parenting facilitator with Focus
on the Family Singapore to help you decide where to
draw the line.
Greater Exclusivity
March saw our 3-month parking trial kick-off, and so far,
I’d like to thank you for the rather smooth first month. Main
Clubhouse parking is exclusively reserved for Members
only, whilst a reduced guest parking allocation has
been redirected to the Sports & Recreation Complex.
This progressive step in our security plan is being taken
to further enhance Tanglin’s exclusivity and safety. We
thank you for your patience and support during this trial.
Pizza lovers, take note that the Tavern, Fireplace, Terrace,
Wet Bar and Wheelhouse all feature a thin crust gourmet
pizza promotion month-long, including Quattro Formaggi,
Capricciosa, Il Giardino, Frutti di Mare, Funghi, and Siciliano,
for $14.95.
Member Satisfaction Survey
Thank you to those of you who participated in our recent
Satisfaction Survey. Page 1 includes a summary, while
the details have been updated onto our website so
you can further study the results. We are digesting each
and every comment to benefit fully from the insights
contained within the survey feedback and throughout
the year, we will endeavour to address key issues, with a
view to further enhancing your satisfaction.
Sunday is ‘MEDday’ at Tanglin. The Churchill Sunday lunch,
Wheelhouse Sunday lunch and Wheelhouse Sunday dinner will
feature an outstanding Med-spread (please see page 22).
Warmly
Or if you fancy getting hands on with pasta-making, please
mark your calendars for our cooking class on 14 April where
you will learn how to make spinach linguine, squid ink pasta
and cheese ravioli. After all your hard work, you’ll be able to
delight in your efforts.

MR SIA YONG
31 August 1927 – 20 February 2016
The Early Years
Sia Yong, SY to his friends, was
born on 31 August 1927, in Zhao
An County, Fujian Province,
China. His father, Sia Siong San,
an intelligence officer in the
Kuomintang government, had
three wives. According to SY, “His
first wife bore him a daughter but
stopped there. He married again,
but the second wife was barren.
So, he got himself a third wife who
bore him two sons, my younger
brother and I.” His mother had to
hand him over to the second wife
as she was childless. He added
that, “It was the custom in those
days. So, I was actually raised by
my “second mother”, and I was
closer to her than to my natural
mother, who raised my younger
brother.”
He had a peripatetic childhood
as his father’s intelligence work
covered Hong Kong, Myanmar,
Thailand and Malaya. When the Second World War broke
out, his family moved from Penang to Singapore. By then,
the Japanese had occupied Singapore.
With his schooling interrupted by the Japanese Occupation,
he went out to work. He was, variously, an apprentice
mechanic, a carpenter, a hawker selling eggs and a
seaman. When the War ended, he returned to school, but
was asked to leave because he failed mathematics badly.
The Journalist
A friend who knew of his linguistic ability recommended
him a job at the Malayan Broadcasting Corporation. SY,
who spoke Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese and Hakka
fluently, was soon reading the news in all those dialects and
Mandarin. SY said that he quit after a few months because
he did not like working for the British. By then, he had also
taught himself English by comparing news reports in Chinese
and English newspapers and listening to the BBC.
His father’s intelligence connections got him a job as a
reporter at the Nanyang Siang Pau, a Chinese Language
daily newspaper. He spent 11 years there covering crime,
foreign news, culture and sports. He became the editor
of the Arts and Culture section of the newspaper. Owing
to his considerable facility in English and Chinese, he was
promoted to chief translator. In October 1956, a few months
after his marriage, SY was arrested by the Lim Yew Hock
government for his “strongly worded” articles condemning
conscription and taxation and for supporting trade unionists
like Lim Chin Siong. As he was not born in Singapore, the
government intended to banish him to China for being a
trouble maker.
After representations by the Singapore Union of Journalists
("SUJ") on his behalf, the Chief Minister Mr Lim Yew Hock
agreed to review the arrest. The spokesman for the SUJ
told Mr Lim that, “The entire editorial staff of the Nanyang
PAGE 9 THE TANGLIN CLUB
Siang Pau, including people
of all political persuasions and
including, one assumes, supporters
of the Labour Front, have staked
their lives and property on Mr Sia’s
non-involvement in subversive
activities.” The spokesman added
that SY’s big interest was music,
and that he was spending a lot
of time on his cello and piano
lessons. He was also a talented
singer, and was rehearsing for a
musical production.
Eventually, those representations
and his father’s intelligence
connections saved him. After
being detained for 40 days at
Outram Jail, he was released,
on condition that he forsook
journalism.
The Captain of Industry
He went to work for Lam Soon
in Kuala Lumpur. Lam Soon was
a manufacturer of cooking oil
and soap. SY said that although he had no experience, they
wanted someone who was trustworthy and honest. He spent 7
years with them and help established the Petaling Jaya Rotary
Club and the Malayan Chamber of Commerce.
He returned to Singapore when his father became ill. He
joined Soon Peng Yam of the now-defunct Sim Lim group and
enjoyed an illustrious 24-year career with them. He got along
very well with his boss, as they shared similar backgrounds.
What they lacked in formal schooling they more than made
up for with drive and a willingness to learn and try new things.
They developed the group into a conglomerate and their
businesses included trading, mining, timber, finance and
property development. Sim Lim Square and Sim Lim Tower
were developed by them.
Between the 1970s and early 1980s, SY was president of the
Singapore National Shippers Council ("SNSC"), the Real Estate
Developers Association of Singapore and the Singapore
Finance House Association. At the SNSC, he led the fight
against the Far Eastern Freight Conference ("FEFC"), a cartel of
shipping companies which monopolised the traffic between
Europe and the Far East. Under his able leadership, the SNSC
broke the FEFC’s monopoly.
He also served on the boards of many companies, associations
and charities including Cold Storage, the Singapore Chinese
Chamber of Commerce and the Singapore Cancer Society.
SY retired in 1986 as Vice-Chairman of the Sim Lim group.
The Singa-Sino Friendship Association
In 1997, his friend, the Chinese Ambassador to Singapore,
Ambassador Zhang Qing, asked him to start a friendship
association for networking between the two countries. SY
accepted the challenge and established the Singa-Sino
Friendship Association ("SSFA") and became its president.
According to SY, the idea was to do anything which is friendly
and on a people-to-people basis. The SSFA’s
activities included not only economic and
cultural partnerships, but also immersion
activities for new immigrants from China. The
SSFA printed several thousand copies of a
book written by Ambassador Zhang about
his stay in Singapore, and distributed them to
new arrivals from China.
The SSFA successfully hosted numerous
delegations from all parts of China. SY
personally led several delegations to China.
Tanglin Club Members who went on a SSFA
tour to China in 2002 would remember
the warm hospitality of the Chinese hosts.
They would also remember that at the end
of a sumptuous dinner in Xian, SY broke
into a spirited rendition of O Sole Mio. For
his contributions to the SSFA, the Chinese
government made him a “Friendship
Ambassador”. In 2007, after 10 years at
the helm, SY stepped down as president
of SSFA.
The Tanglin Club
One day, he was invited to The Tanglin
Club (“Club”) for lunch by some business
associates. When the bill came, he was
disappointed that he could not pay as he
was not a Member. He got an application
form, found 6 friendly sponsors, and became
a Member in 1967.
In 1988, the Hong Kong Club, a social club
in Hong Kong re-developed its existing
clubhouse into a 20-storey building. A Hong
Kong developer financed the construction
of the building, 8 floors of which housed the
Hong Kong Club. The Hong Kong Club and
the Hong Kong developer shared equally
the rental income for the remaining 12 floors
for 15 years, after which, the said rental
income would belong to the Hong Kong
Club absolutely. Apart from getting a new
clubhouse gratis, the Hong Kong Club would
be receiving substantial and recurrent rental
income from its tenants (“HK Club Model”).
SY served on the General Committee ("GC")
of the Club in 1993. The GC wanted to redevelop the land (on which the Sports Centre
now stands) on the HK Club Model, and it
applied to the Authorities for permission to
re-develop the said land into a multi-storey
building for recreational and commercial
use. Later that year, the Club received
in-principle planning approval from the
Authorities for its proposed re-development.
At the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of
the Club in 1994, the incumbent GC Members
who supported the re-development of the
said land on the HK Club Model, including SY,
were not re-elected. The new GC, elected
to be continued on pg 12 ►
"It was an honour to have had the opportunity to be invited to have drinks
with Sia Yong on each occasion I was at the Tavern. The 25 years I have
known him have been years of great stories, introductions to dignitaries
from China mostly, and encouragement to keep working on the General
Committee. I will dearly miss you, Sir."
—Robert Wiener
"I am honoured to have known you and to have shared the pleasure of your
company for the past 25 years. Those many joyful moments with you in the
Tavern, full of laughter, will forever remain a cherished memory. Thank you
for sharing your many experiences in life and for all your interesting stories,
for your kind generosity, wisdom and wit. I am sad to see you leave us and I
will miss you my dear friend."
—Paul Wright
"For several years in the late 1970s, Mr Sia Yong represented the Chinese
Chamber of Commerce in the Council of the Singapore Cancer Society
and was responsible for raising major donations for the Society. Later, he
was elected as a member of the Council and played a major role in its
programmes. I was privileged to work with him in the Council for over 20
years and remain grateful to him for his unselfish support, great wisdom and
sound advice."
—Raj Nambiar
"I am one of those who occasionally had the pleasure of sharing a drink or
two with Sia Yong in his daily session. Sadly to say, his presence at the Tavern
will be significantly missed.
—Ho Weng Toh
"Sia Yong epitomised all the virtues of a Chinese gentleman. He was polite,
helpful and kind towards all his friends and staff members. He was a friend,
a colleague, and a client. Sia Yong was articulate in both English and
Mandarin."
—Peter S K Koh
"It will be difficult to imagine the Tavern without Sia Yong. It had always
been a pleasure to see him there in the afternoons. I'm sure anybody who
shared that pleasure will never forget him. He was particularly helpful to me
during my years on the General Committee. Rest in peace, Sia Yong."
—Rhys Jones
"My wife and I were saddened to receive notification of the demise of Mr Sia
Yong. In addition to his family’s sad loss, he will be missed at the Club in so
many ways. I cannot imagine the Tavern in the mid-afternoon without the
presence of Mr Sia Yong occupying his stool under the air-conditioner, with
a Black Label glass in hand and a row of beer-mats strategically placed
on the counter in front of him. My wife and I will certainly raise a glass to an
outstanding Member and one of nature’s gentlemen."
—Don Gallop
"Mr Sia loved foie gras. Whenever we met, he would request me to prepare
the dish for him and his friends at the Tavern Bar. He was such a gentleman
and treated me as a friend rather than just a staff, often sharing his valuable
and interesting life experiences with me. For 7 days after we heard the news
of his passing, we would place a glass of his favourite whiskey and a plate
of foie gras on the table of his favourite seat to remember him. I will miss him
dearly. Rest in peace, Mr Sia."
—Executive Chef Louis Tay
"We are deeply saddened by the news of Mr Sia’s passing. It is a big loss to
all of us who had known Mr Sia at The Tanglin Club for the past many years.
He was a charming, helpful and encouraging gentleman, and it was such a
joy interacting with him daily at the Tavern Bar. He was a friend and mentor,
often providing us snippets of wisdom and inspiration. We will miss Mr Sia
dearly and treasure all the wonderful memories we shared."
—Tavern Bar Team

PAGE 11 THE TANGLIN CLUB
◄ continued from pg 10
at the AGM, did not pursue the said re-development, and the
in-principle planning approval lapsed in 1995.
SY, which for him meant, “still young”, was a creature of
habit. Since his retirement, his daily routine would take him to
the Tavern at 3.00pm to renew his acquaintance with Mr J
Walker. SY was reported to have said that if he did not drink,
he wouldn’t be able to sleep.
As was his wont, SY would take his usual seat at the centre
of the bar. Susan (or the bartender on duty) would hand him
12 coasters. Whenever he felt thirsty, he would give Susan a
coaster in exchange for a whisky. By 6.30pm, Susan would
have all his 12 coasters, and a happy SY would be chauffeured
home. It was, as they say, a good day at the office.
He loved the Club and was particularly proud of its
cosmopolitan membership and its many ancient traditions.
He was a stickler for Club rules, especially on matters like
decorum and dress code.
SY had a wicked sense of humour. When asked why he had
so few wrinkles, he said that he ironed his face occasionally.
He was a voracious reader. His wide reading, colourful
background and larger-than-life personality made him a
consummate conversationalist. You could see the twinkle
in his eyes when he launched into an impassioned and
learned discourse on the glories of Chinese civilisation. On
another occasion, he would explain to you why The Brothers
Karamazov is Dostoyevsky’s best novel. He was
equally at home when he regaled Members with his
struggles as a young journalist in a British colony or
the horrors of life under the Japanese Occupation.
He would introduce you to the grandeur of Western
Opera, and let you know, ex cathedra, that
Enrico Caruso and not Mario Lanza or Luciano
Pavarotti, was the greatest tenor of all time. And,
if you are lucky, you may even be treated to a
solemn lecture on why drinking whisky is good for
your health!
A brilliant raconteur and a bon vivant, he was a kind,
gentle, and generous soul, who lived a full, happy and
long life. As long, as the Teochews would say, as a
bale of cloth. A natty dresser; an elegant gentleman
of the old school; an eternal optimist with an infectious
laughter; he was a favourite with the ladies.
I was privileged to be his friend. Whenever we took
our leave (at the Tavern), we would always say, 明天见
(míng tiān jiàn) or see you tomorrow.
SY is survived by his 4 children, Hui Leng, Eng Beng, Eng
Teck and Hui Leong, their spouses and 6 grandchildren,
Ju Kun, Ju Ling, Ee Min, Shao Ming, Clive and William.
He will be dearly missed and will remain forever in
our hearts.
Farewell, SY. May you rest in peace.
Sim Yong Chan
FAREWELL TO FELLOW MEMBERS
SALLY TOMKINS
The Members and Staff of The Tanglin Club are deeply saddened by the passing on
of Mrs Sally Tomkins, at her home in Taunton, England on 12 December 2015, and
express our heartfelt condolences to her family.
Mrs Tomkins, beloved wife of Peter Tomkins and mother of Elizabeth Seah, first
moved to Singapore in October of 1961 and joined the Club in February 1962. Mr
& Mrs Tomkins became Life Members in 1983 for their contribution made to the
redevelopment of the new Club building. She spent many a happy time in the Club
over the years.
She is dearly missed by Peter, Elizabeth and Cyril and her three grandchildren,
Matthew, Timothy and Jessica.
BRIAN BOGAARS
The Members and Staff of the Tanglin Club are deeply saddened by the
passing on of Mr Brian Bogaars and express our sincere condolences to his family.
Mr Bogaars was called home on 19 December 2015 at the age of 87.
Mr Bogaars had been a Member of the Club for over four decades and is
fondly remembered by the staff for his friendly demeanour. His wife, Mrs Joan
Bogaars, and his family would like to thank all Members and staff for their kind
expression of sympathy in their bereavement.
There’s always a reason for living,
Though sad your heart may be.
There’s always another horizon,
Beyond the one you see.

Member News • Quoted & Noted
“Why can't we have business discussions in the Club? It is ridiculous.”
The Bye-laws state that "Members who wish to discuss business when that discussion will require a conspicuous display of
papers, computers, trade samples or other business materials may use any areas in the Club except in the Churchill Room,
Main Lobby and Tavern.”
Members who wish to use computers or other electronic devices at designated areas of the Club must ensure that these
devices are put on silent mode at all times.
"I really wish you kept the Library open later. It is too restrictive.
When are we moving back?"
We apologise for the delay in consensus building. Renovations
will begin soon, we will reopen in July, with extended operational
hours – 9.00am to 8.00pm daily.
“I hope you will enhance draught offerings at the Club. I can't
help but feel they are sub-par and over-priced.”
Good news. Asia Pacific Breweries has increased our draught
pours from two to five at both the Tavern and the Wet Bar. We
now serve Heineken, Tiger, Old Speckled Hen, Archi pelago IPA
and Samui, and Erdinger. As of March, we also dropped the
price per jug of Tiger from $24.80 to $22.80. Do let us know your
feedback about the new draught offerings.
“It would be great if kids could enjoy the salad bar at the
Wheelhouse, and the new express lunch offering, at a
kids’ price.”
Good news. We now offer the salad bar at $7.20 and the
express lunch at $8.20 for kids.
“I really wish you would offer Ben & Jerry's ice-cream at
the Wheelhouse. The Tavern has it and I wish we could
enjoy it at the Wheelhouse too.”
No problem. We've now added Chunky Monkey,
Strawberry Cheesecake and New York Super Fudge in the
Wheelhouse menu. Enjoy!
“It was with absolute delight that we spotted a brand new
sign at the ground floor entrance from the car park.
Thank you for the "Guide dogs welcome" stand embraced
by The Tanglin Club. Here is an enlightened example of
inclusion and civil tolerance and an openness to Members,
relatives and friends who are frequently discriminated against in many social venues. Typically, this is out of ignorance of the
extraordinary training these remarkable guide dogs undergo in the service of their visually challenged owners.
The Club and its Members should be very proud of this heartening leadership in Singapore.”
We are encouraged to know that Members like you are supportive of such initiatives, and hope that in the little way we can,
this will benefit and improve the quality of life of Members and guests who are visually challenged.
PAGE 13 THE TANGLIN CLUB
“I find it rather concerning that some Members choose to dine at the Terrace or Wet Bar after a sweaty workout,
in their sports attire! Apart from it being against the Club’s bye-laws, and unhygienic, I don’t experience F&B staff
handling the situation well.”
“I have been a Member for several decades now and I simply wish to state my absolute agreement with the tougher
stance that the Committee is taking to uphold the Club’s standards. I found the account of the guest abuse in the last
issue appalling! Keep up the good work!”
Thank you both for your feedback. Tanglin takes great pride in our Club Rules and Bye-laws established by our own
Members to complement everyone’s overall experience at the Club. Our Club Rules and Bye-Laws are in place to
ensure the level of enjoyment you receive while visiting. Under Bye-Law 12(a), sports attire should not be worn unless
it is just walking through the various facilities, including the Main Lobby and Outlets. Under Bye-Law 12(a), penultimate
paragraph, swimwear and wet exercise clothes are not allowed at all Food and Beverage Outlets.
We have recently reinstated our Duty Management roster to ensure that there is always someone from management
to assist staff with such matters. Please note that the Duty Manager’s mobile is 9011 0611. We would also ask all
Members to help us ensure our high standards by taking time to familiarise yourself with the Rules and Bye-Laws. We
also request Members to please inform your guests so that they similarly respect Tanglin’s culture.
“It would mean so much to me and
my children if there was the possibility
to invite the kids to the Tea Room –
not daily, but all dressed up and well
behaved for a special event. I heard
you did this for Valentine’s Day, but we
were unfortunately out of town. Any
chance of another similar event?”
Our Valentine’s High Tea was indeed
a real treat for the little ones. You’ll be
pleased to know that we have another
planned – this time for Mother’s Day.
We are featuring a gorgeous Sunday
Brunch at the Churchill Room and a
more casual Lunch at the Wheelhouse.
Our Mother’s Day High Tea will begin
at 3.30pm and is detailed on page 28.
There are also some complimentary
crafts that weekend that the kids might
enjoy, detailed on page 27.
“We can't thank you enough for
adding the new Chinese Restaurant to
The Tanglin Club. The food is exquisite
– beautifully presented in Chinese
banquet style and the service is superb.
Kingsley and Pauline have been so
welcoming and efficient. I especially loved the double boiled soups and BBQ trio combo beautifully presented in a
lacquer basket. Also, the Abalone Tofu and the Beef Cubes with Longan was a delightfully unusual combination, and
the bean curd mousse was superb!“
We're delighted to receive such positive praise for Tang Yun. Thank you. And now that the Chinese New Year demand
has settled, there is plenty of room to try it, if you haven't as yet. For reservations, please call 6622 0555 or email
[email protected].
“I really wish we could wear jeans to Tang Yun. Would this be possible in the near future?”
We hear you and have good news. As approved by the General Committee and House Committee, diners at Tang
Yun may now wear proper jeans on any day. For more information, please see our ‘Top 10 Rules’ on pages 7-8.

Food & Beverage • Events
NEW EXECUTIVE CHEF,
ERIC CHEAM
The Club would like to express our sincerest thanks to Chef Louis Tay for his
contributions over the past 7 years. We are very pleased to announce the
appointment of Mr Eric Cheam as our new Executive Chef.
Eric graduated from the Singapore Hotel and Tourism Education Centre (SHATEC)
with a Diploma in Culinary Skills and possesses more than 15 years of experience in
food preparation accumulated in the slew of 5-star hotels where he has worked.
Eric embarked on his career with the renowned international hotel chain, Raffles
Hotels & Resorts group, learning kitchens’ best practices right from the beginning. He
moved on to the Mandarin Oriental and Marina Bay Sands (MBS) as Chef de Cuisine
subsequently. As part of the pre-opening team in MBS, Eric was heavily involved in
formulating and implementing operating supplies and equipment/fixtures, policies
and procedures for all kitchens. He also successfully managed and served meals for
mass turnouts of up to 6,500 delegates seamlessly.
Prior to joining The Tanglin Club, Eric was rehired by the Mandarin Oriental as an
Executive Sous Chef. This time, along with a culinary brigade of 90 chefs under him,
he was tasked the duty of ensuring the efficient operation of all the F&B outlets
and banquet events. Eric took a hands-on approach, working closely with personnel
from different departments, at improving the overall kitchen hygiene, recipes
costing/engineering, food wastage, food quality, and much more. During this
second stint at the Mandarin Oriental, being at the helm of food preparation for a
number of distinguished events such as the Morgan Stanley Summit, Singapore Air
Show and Formula One Night Race were just some of the highlights of Eric’s many
achievements.
Eric fervently believes in continuous learning for both himself and his team. Besides
being a certified on-the-job trainer, Eric is also a certified risk management auditor
and level three supervisory Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) officer,
who has an in-depth knowledge of the implementation of HACCP policies and
procedures to ensure proper control of food safety hazards in the kitchen. He is
also familiar with food waste management, another important area that the Club is
exploring – to control the disposal of waste materials in a way that matches with the
best principles of environmental considerations.
Eric has received many accolades throughout his career, namely: Best Appetiser
& Best Action Dessert for Track Chef 2015 Formula 1 Competition; Hong Kong
International Culinary Classic, The Gourmet Team Challenge – Gold Award; from
2004 to 2012, he successfully clinched numerous awards from the FHA The Gourmet
Team Challenge. He has also been invited as Guest Chef for the Singapore Food
Promotion in Dubai, Manila and Jakarta.
Eric is married with two children aged 3 and 6 years old. His favourite cuisines are
Mediterranean, Italian and Pacific with a touch of Asian.
We trust that with his knowledge and expertise, he will be able to take on new
challenges to propel The Tanglin Club to the next level in providing the utmost quality
food to Members and their families.
Please join us to welcome Eric on board and extend your warmest support to him.
We are sure that he is looking forward to meeting all of you.

MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES (MSF) FILM
SCREENING: LIVING IN EMERGENCY
A critically-acclaimed documentary film directed by Mark N. Hopkins, it was
among the 15 documentaries shortlisted for the Best Documentary Oscar by the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the 82nd Academy Awards. Set
in war-torn Congo and post-conflict Liberia, Living in Emergency interweaves the
stories of four doctors as they struggle to provide emergency medical care in
extreme conditions.
It is the first uncensored film about Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF or Doctors
Without Borders) and seeks to viscerally portray the real life of doctors in the
field as they confront the many difficulties and dilemmas of working in extreme
conditions with limited resources.
The film will be followed by a 20-minute Q&A session with Mr Alvin Teo, a pharmacist
whose field assignments include Pakistan, South Sudan, Syria, and Ukraine.

FOR THE PARENTS
PLUGGED-IN PARENTING TALK
Saturday, 30 April
2.30pm to 3.30pm
Wheelhouse Function Room
Member $5 | Guest $8
Inclusive of light refreshments
Speaker: Cheryl Ng, Focus on the Family Singapore
In today’s multi-media world where many of our children are media and digital natives, the media is many things
to many people. It can be an ally, a teaching aid; however, it can also be a source of conflict or a convenient
“babysitter”. This talk will help parents decide where to draw the line, and help their children draw lines of their
own. Get plugged-in on the why and how to use the media to pull your family together, rather than let it push
you apart.
At the end of the talk, parents will:
• Understand the impact of various forms of media and how it affects children’s perceptions, attitudes and
behaviours
• Know how to make rules without making enemies
• Use practical skills to engage with their children and leverage on media and technology
About the Speaker
Cheryl Ng is an accredited parenting facilitator with Focus on the Family Singapore. She dedicated the early part
of her career to pursuing her childhood dream of teaching, touching the lives of numerous teenagers in junior
colleges for almost 10 years, before switching her attention to bringing up her own children.
Today, she continues to indulge in her passion for young people as an adjunct lecturer at a polytechnic. Her
belief in the strength of the family fuels her work in family life education.

Wheelhouse Function Room
Member $5 | Guest $8
Minimum of 20 persons to sign up for the
event to proceed
A dynamic, revolutionary book that will be
added to our Library this April is ‘Lifestyle
Beyond Cancer, Beyond Miracles’ by
fellow Member Dee Page. The book tells
of resources within ourselves that we are
rarely taught are there and available to
help us live quality lives no matter what our
circumstances. Revealed through sharing
the story of her journey through 3 episodes
of cancer and surviving beyond the odds,
Dee eloquently opens the reader to ideas that explore
beyond the reader’s conditioned beliefs. In turn, he or she
can flourish in the face of current adversity and help others
to do so.
Dr Ian Gawler believes the information in the book ‘could
mean the difference between life and death’. A cancer
fighter claims ‘it is the most helpful book on cancer’ that she
has read. Both a notable lawyer and a CEO health worker
reported that the book could be of benefit to people facing
challenges on many different levels, and not just those
with cancer.
One TV personality agrees with several other readers that
the way it is written makes the reader feel that the author
Dee is speaking to them personally, that it is easy to read, yet
packed with hope.
The book is available for loan at the Club Library.

‘A Helping Hand: Delicious Recipes in English & Tagalog’
is the only dual language English/Filipino cookbook in
Singapore. Helpful for the entire household, this beautifully
illustrated book contains over 80 mouth-watering, yet
practical, Western and local recipes. The English sections
are hugely readable, filled with anecdotes and personality;
the Tagalog parts contain clear, step-by-step instructions
and tips as well as a detailed explanation of ingredients.
‘A Helping Hand’ is full of failsafe recipes for every occasion,
from breakfast to dinner parties and is perfect for people
who like to entertain effortlessly. Violet Oon, Singapore’s
Food Ambassador comments “The Tagalog translations
are an inspired idea. Its glossy pages hold the promise of
everyone’s favourites, from chicken pie to mee goreng.”
Sylvia Tan, cookbook author and newspaper columnist is
also a fan: "This is an engaging and delightful collection
of family recipes which any family would use. And since it
is also written in Tagalog, your household help would also
appreciate it. I loved the personal asides found in each
recipe and yes, the gorgeous pictures!”
Get your copy of ‘A Helping Hand: Delicious Recipes
in English & Tagalog’ at the Book Launch and meet the
author, Frog Michaels. Signed copies of the cookbook,
which has an RRP of $39.99, will be sold at the exclusive
launch price of just $30. We look forward to seeing you
there!
Author Frog Michaels, aside from being a Club Member,
is a freelance writer and columnist and contributes

Daily Telegraph and Singapore Airlines’ award-winning
magazine, SilverKris. Frog has lived in Singapore for many
years with her husband, whose family is from Singapore,
and two children. Her blog, changmoh.com, which charts
the musings of an English girl in Singapore who thinks she’s
local, was voted one of the country’s top-10 lifestyle blogs.

BOOK OF THE MONTH:
DEPRAVED HEART BY
PATRICIA CORNWELL
The death of Chanel Gilbert has
virtually everyone convinced it’s
an accident. But Dr Kay Scarpetta
knows better. Her razor-sharp
instinct tells her that the death of
this Hollywood mogul’s daughter is
anything but an accident.
Scarpetta is sidetracked when she is
sent a surveillance film of her niece
Lucy – from nearly twenty years ago.
The clip reveals some disturbing
secrets, but before she can show it
to anyone, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) raids Lucy’s estate
for proof of crime that could land her
in prison for life.

is leaving evidence only Scarpetta

Chanel’s death. But who is pulling the
strings? If it’s who Scarpetta thinks it
is, they won’t stop until everyone she
loves is destroyed.

A Root Cause of Aging
Wednesday, 13 April
7.00pm to 9.00pm
Gym
Complimentary for all Members
How old are you on the inside? A new device reveals how quickly
you’re ageing. Find out your body age at this talk.
Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGEs) are harmful
compounds in the body that have been shown to be a primary
cause of aging and age-related health issues.
So as you get older, have you ever wondered why you have less
energy and more aches and pain?
The answer in part is not age, but AGEs, which are compounds in
the body that scientists & researchers have linked to ageing.
Excess AGEs will cause healthy cells, tissues, organs and the system
to slowly decay. The result is premature aging, which affects our
appearance, as well as the overall function of the organs in our
bodies.

former residence of a Javanese Prince, traditional Javanese wood-villas
and the plantation owner’s house from the early 20th Century.

Balut Section
After a thundering session in January, one would
expect a calmer February. No sirree, not with
19 players turning up – including 4 new Section
Members and a new guest. We stated from
the outset that Balut is a funny old game where
newbies tend to tear up the form book, while
punters who take the long odds go home happy!
The assembled players groaned very loudly when
told that there would be no tossing of the Yu Sheng
(as Chinese New Year had ended), and nary a
breath was drawn when told, "Let’s play". Dice in
cups were rattled with venom and slammed down
with enough gusto to stop a spoonful of won ton
going down the throat at the Wheelhouse.
True to form, the newbies had their day. Tan Su Sie
attained the highest total score of 645 points, and
Bansi decided that the newbies should not claim
all by taking the highest game applause
with her 137 points. The surprise package
of the evening was guest Maya Boon
Ma Wong who trumped everyone with
a total score of 657 points.
Our policy is that if a guest wins, they do
get a prize, but the Section Member with
the next highest score gets the bragging
rights. We were in a great mood to
give away prizes, and presented the
envelopes to Nicky Hardy for her total
score of 614 in January, and Bansi the
prize of the highest game score of 141
points in that game.
It’s still too early to start the leader board
be in the running for the Balut Max
trophy. However, that will change soon
enough!

Hello everybody! The Lunar New Year was ushered in with a great
“Lo Hei” and the dinner spread for this session was wonderful with
everyone eating their fill. We would like to thank our Club President,
Mr Robert Weiner, for gracing the event. Everyone who attended
had a generous share of salmon Yu Sheng and there was good
cheer all round.
We then went on to play our usual Monthly Section Fund Games
and the Section Fund Night was well-contested for. The ‘Most Wins’
of the night was hotly contested by Mr Hugh Scheffner, Mr Chong
Zi Cheng, Dr Ng Boon Keng and Mr Alex Yew. Dr Ng managed to
just edge out everyone to take the prize, while Mr Yew managed
to salvage the night to clinch the highest break. Congratulations to
both Dr Ng and Mr Yew!
The John Wilks Handicap Snooker Competition 2016 is currently
ongoing and the first rounds have already seen some very
intense competition amongst the players. We look forward to an
exciting finish.
The year has started moving along quickly

Year, also called the Spring Festival, was celebrated by the Bridge players of
the Tanglin Club on 19 February at the Raffles Room.
There were 14 ½ tables and the Mitchel
movement was used for easy facilitation. The
contest was vigorous and the winners were:
It is the grandest and most important event for the Chinese around the world,
and this year, it is the Year of the Monkey. Originally during the Shang dynasty
in 11BC, the festival used to be observed to fight against the monster “Nian”
who liked to eat children and livestock. The monster was afraid of the colour
red and loud sounds. Therefore, people decorated their houses in red and
set off firecrackers to expel the monster. Today, it is an occasion for feasting,
family reunions, and for friends to get together.

The sumptuous high tea consisted of many delectable items of food. “Lo
hei”, or tossing the “Yu Sheng”, which symbolises abundance, prosperity and
vigour, is also a time for making wishes. One Bridge player was heard wishing
for a suitable boy for her daughter! The ladies were in high spirits and many
adorned themselves in red outfits. Each player was given a bag of 2 mandarin
oranges for luck.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and looked
forward to the coming year with eager
anticipation and renewed hope in their hearts.

UPCOMING CHOIR PERFORMANCE
FOR MOTHER’S DAY, 8 MAY 2016
The month of May is a very special month world-wide, for this is
the month that we show our appreciation towards our mothers,
and mother figures – to recognise the ones who care for us, love
us unconditionally, instil values, guide us, help us to keep things in
perspective and mould us into good human beings. Interestingly,
celebrations of Mothers and Motherhood can be traced as far
back as the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in
honour of the Mother Goddesses, Rhea and Cybele. These
celebrations later spread out to the United Kingdom, Europe
and at the start of the 20th century to America and other parts of
the world.
In recent times, it has become a wonderful tradition for family
members to find creative ways to show Mothers how much they
are loved, valued and appreciated. Flowers, gifts, restaurant
treats, concert tickets, holidays abroad and well-kept surprises
are the order of the day. In Singapore, Mother's Day is
celebrated on the second Sunday of May which will be on
8 May 2016. For the occasion this year, our Club is planning
a special programme which will show appreciation in many
ways, one of which is a performance by the Tanglin Club
Choir. Performance details will be found in NewsBites closer
to the date. We do hope you will bring your mother to this
lovely event!
Apart from Mother’s Day, the Choir will
also be holding regular performances
throughout the year for the entertainment
of Members and guests. We shall be
presenting a varied repertoire of songs,
from well-known classics, old favourites
and popular modern numbers, for your
enjoyment. Please keep an eye out for
our performance details and dates in the
NewsBites and in the Club magazine.
We look forward to seeing you in the
audience – and we also look forward to
any of you who would like to join us and
sing in the choir.

CHINESE NEW YEAR BALL
The Chinese New Year Ball on 13 February 2016 was
off to a great start with the Monkey Dance. Dancing
with the “monkeys” was a Face Changing Master
from China who enthralled the large crowd with his
multiple face changes. Dance Ensemble Singapore
was spectacular with their 30 performers exhibiting 4
performances of Chinese dance and martial arts. It
is no wonder that they are on television annually on
Chinese New Year Eve. Guest Singer Daphne Yeo
performed 3 Chinese songs.
The “Lo Hei” dinner was catered by our very own
Club Chinese restaurant Tang Yun. Both dancers
and non-dancers had a marvellous time with the
food, entertainment and fellowship. Resident Band,
Locomotion, performed the music for dancing. Dr
Charlotte Yung and Mr Spencer Chan were our
emcees for the evening. Special thanks go to Madam
Yan Choong Lian, Founder and Artistic Director
of Dance Ensemble Singapore, for a wonderful
performance befitting the Year of the Monkey.

DARTS YU SHENG CELEBRATION
No Lunar New Year get-together would be complete without
the tossing of Yu Sheng (or “Lo Hei” in Cantonese) with our Darts
friends.
Symbolising abundance and prosperity, this Teochew raw fish
salad enjoyed during Chinese New Year in Singapore and
Malaysia is almost ritualistic, with requisite auspicious words yelled
out as different ingredients are added.
As with all food, the Yu Sheng experience isn’t just about tradition
and good fortune, it has to taste good. Over the years, we Darters
have enjoyed the taste and the wonderful company of dear
friends.
MC Cheong, as usual, made the gathering so exciting and
entertaining, in conveying the blessings of good fortune for
the year ahead, while enjoying time with the darters. His
amazing determination to give away prizes is indeed an
outstanding quality we all have seen in him over the years.
Thank you MC, Nancy Chua, Cielito and the staff from the
Sports & Recreation team for making it a special evening
for us.

Lawn Bowls Section
The Lawn Bowls Section has been very active in
promoting Lawn Bowling as a very worthwhile sports and
social activity for our Tanglin Club Members.
The Section has a large number of bowls of various
sizes to suit both our male and female Members, as
well as for the youth. These bowls are available for loan
to the bowlers, free of charge. They are stored at the
4th floor storeroom, next to the Bowling Green. Interested
Members may obtain the store and locker keys at the
Sports Reception Desk. To make things even easier,
some bowls have been stacked on the shelves for easier
access by new bowlers who may bowl at any time of
the day.
The Lawn Bowls Section has regular friendly bowling
sessions on Wednesdays, commencing at 6.00pm, and
on Sundays at 4.00pm. Interested Tanglin Club Members
are welcome to join us in these social or friendly games.
On other days, Members may also indicate their interest
to bowl, and our regular bowlers would be happy to
assist you to get started in the game. Lawn Bowling is a
social activity that Members of all ages can participate
and enjoy.
For example, we had and will have the following events for
2016:
The Bowls Singapore Carnival was held on 17 January at
the Kallang Bowl at which 6 Members participated.
● The Lawn Bowls Section also held a Members and staff
game on 18 January.
● Our Tanglin Club Inter-Club Pairs League was held from 17
February.
● The National Singles was held at the Kallang Bowls on 21
February.
● The Lion City Cup will be held from 21 to 24 July at both the
Tanglin Club Bowling Green and Kallang Bowls.
● On 15 and 17 April, the Lawn Bowls Section will host a
visiting team, Reynella Bowling Club of South Australia.
● From 30 April to 1 May, our bowlers will compete in the
Royal Bangkok Sports Club Interport Games in Bangkok. We
expect to field 16 Members.
● One of the highlights of the year for our bowlers will surely
be the planned trip to Darwin, Australia, sometime in August
or September. Last year, our bowlers had a wonderful time
bowling and holidaying in Cairns, Queensland, as reported
in the November 2015 issue.
●
Graham, Lawn Bowls Captain, inducting a young Club Member and parent into bowling
Contrary to common misconception, it is definitely not
a slow and passive game, nor is it merely for old retirees.
For most clubs overseas, and even for some Singapore
clubs, many young people actively participate in both
friendly games and in tournaments. In fact, so many
games and tournaments take place every year within
Singapore and in the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN). Our Club is always a favourite venue
for many visiting teams from other countries such as
Australia, Thailand and Malaysia.
There will be many other activities for 2016, so we urge all
Members to look out for our announcements of such activities
that they can participate in. The Lawn Bowls Members are
more than happy to talk to you and introduce you to the
game. Make a start – join as a Section Member, or just give
yourself a try on the days mentioned above.
Look out for the Sports Family Day, scheduled for Sunday, 3
April, from 10.00 am to 4.00pm. Have some fun lawn bowling
with your children here at the Club.

TANGLIN CLUB JUNIOR TOURNAMENT SERIES #1
The first junior tournament was held this year and we had good turnout. There were many close matches across the boys and
girls events and many of the kids had multiple back to back matches so it was a physical test. Many thanks to the 40XV coaching
team (Ken, Malcum, David, Eric, Mary, and Jarrod) for their help.
This compact weekend tournament is a fantastic way for the kids to efficiently log in their match play experience and bond with
other Club Members. It is usually held a week before the national tournament, Spex, hence a good opportunity to get some preSpex match play in. We look forward to seeing everyone on court in May for the 2nd leg of the series.

Ten-Pin Bowling Section
ANNUAL TEN PIN BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP
29 January 2016
To provide a competitive edge to our Bowling Section Members, the inaugural Annual Ten-Pin Bowling Championship was held
at Raffles Town Club on Friday, 29 January. A good number of people turned up, enough to play two lanes each by the men
and ladies.
It was wonderful that we had several young people who were plucky enough to join the oldies at play: young Annabelle, Tian
Ahn and Aaron. There is something truly joyful about the energy of the youth so it was a delightful to watch them as they bowled
with style.
In the Ladies’ group, Pamela Daswani dazzled
everyone with her consistent play which earned
her 1st Place, winning herself a Ten-Pin Bowlingshaped trophy. The dark horse was Phine who
progressed from “Longkang Queen” to take
the 1st Runner Up place and secure a silver
medal! She was as surprised as everyone else.
She attributed it to a change in a lower weight
ball. The 2nd Runner Up was Nancy Chua who
played an elegant game.
Without a doubt, the men bowled with great
aplomb. The sounds of their strikes resonated
throughout the hall. The star of the day was
young Tian Ahn who easily bowled himself to 1st
Place in the Men’s section and rose to be the
Overall Champion. He was also awarded the
Challenge Trophy, generously donated by Club
Vice-President Eugene Lim. The 1st Runner Up
was our youthful MC Cheong, followed by Peter
Lim who came in as the 2nd Runner Up.
The prizes and medals were handed out by Lana, Eugene’s gracious wife, at the annual dinner for the Ten Pin Bowling Section
following the afternoon’s games. Peter was at hand to organise the day and evening activities. He also initiated the lucky draw
with prizes which were donated by Section Members. The dinner was held at our new Chinese restaurant, Tang Yun, and it took
place just the night before its grand opening. The sumptuous menu was selected by Nancy Chua.
All the Members of the Committee had worked really hard and all the efforts were paid off with a lovely afternoon and evening.
