Our deepest gratitude to our Members for continuing to support the Club and to the staff for The F&B Department set about on a menu re-engineering project tirelessly serving our Members. and the new menus have been very positively received by Members. We retained the more popular dishes and added many new and exciting dishes including a broader breakfast selection, a lighter range of dishes with a Mediterranean theme and also many more vegetarian dishes and healthier options. The Finance Department continued with its work on achieving greater efficiencies through the digitization of more of its processes and activating more of the features of the current accounting software for improved departmental reporting and also improved front-end Member experiences for restaurant and banquet bookings. While full team sports and competitions have not resumed, the various Sports Sections together with the Sports Department have worked tirelessly at setting up safety procedures and protocols in line with government measures and devising many new formats of the games and training routines so Members can continue to participate in matches and training to maintain that edge for when the national leagues programmes resume. Our Membership figures remain robust with just a slight dip in numbers; SCC welcomed over 300 new Members looking for a comfortable and safe club to call their second home, enjoy premium facilities and services, and socialise over recreational activities – particularly at a period of travel restrictions. The F&B menu re-engineering project saw the addition of a lighter range of Mediterranean- themed dishes and many healthier vegetarian options. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 AR3 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Staff and Members alike toasted and cheered towards the end of 2020 when our licence application to ‘Pivot to Permissible Activities’ was approved, enabling us to open up the Main Lounge, Stumps and the Stumps Terrace with safe measures in place. Slowly but surely, we are also seeing banquet facilities bookings return to the Clubhouse and look forward to many more to come as safe measures continue to ease. Working around the physical capacity limits, many social workshops and talks were held virtually instead or off-site so Members continued to have other avenues to interact with one another in meaningful ways. A new portfolio was introduced this year – Member Engagement – with the twin mandate to enhance Member interaction through more participative events, activities and hobby groups, and additionally tasked to set up programmes to foster a more caring SCC by giving something back to the larger Singapore society through Community Outreach Programmes. By the end of the year, we had the frameworks in place for the SCC Book Club and the SCC Running & Brisk Walking Club and I am pleased to note that they have been well-received and participated in by the Membership. The pandemic did not deter us from engaging with the community Our Members continued with the Club’s community engagement initiatives after safe at large.

  • Strategies and Psychological Skills Training Experience in Malaysia National Rugby Team During the Asia Rugby Championship
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 02, 2020 6035 Strategies And Psychological Skills Training Experience In Malaysia National Rugby Team During The Asia Rugby Championship Ahmad Fadzlee Ahmad Idriss ,Thariq Khan Azizuddin Khan, Zulakbal Abd Karim & Ali Md Nadzalan Faculty of Sport Science and Coaching, Sultan Idris Education University Malaysia [email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the application, experiences, and perceptions of the psychological skills training (PST) among Malaysian national rugby 15’s players during the Asian Rugby Championship (ARC). In this study the mixed method research design (Exploratory Sequential Mix-Method) using questionnaire (quantitative) and interview (qualitative) methods were employed. Firstly, the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) questionnaire was administered with all 25 players. Using the MANOVA statistical analysis the study findings showed that there were only significant differences in the two aspects of strategy namely automacity and goal setting (p <0.017) out of nine psychological performance strategies during the ARC 2018. In terms of psychological strategy based on player position and experience, there were significant differences only in each aspect of the strategy encompasses goal setting and automacity only (p <0.017). Secondly, semi structured interviews were conducted with 10 key players, the results indicated that 70 percent of players were unable to provide accurate information on the use of psychological strategies during competition. There is some inconsistency comparing both quantitative and qualitative data. The implications of this combined analysis indicate that there is no difference in the use of sports psychology strategies overall or in terms of player position and experience.
