Despite the economic and financial uncertainty in the first half of 2009, the Club performed very well. There was an increase in the number of members supporting the various social and sporting activities organized by the Club. The participation rate for STAR Games saw a 4.7% increase over that of FY 08/09. These are very encouraging indicators that members are keen to participate in the activities organised by the Club and are enjoying them. This will motivate the management to strive harder to enhance our services and upgrade the Club’s facilities to meet the members’ needs. For FY 10/11, the Club will improve the existing facilities and explore new initiatives to provide better facilities for our members. The Club will venture into new destinations when organising short tours for our members. More family based activities will also be organized to enable family bonding. Activities that have proven to be popular with our members will continue to be organised and improved upon. A Fruit Machine management system has been introduced in April 2010 that will speed up the payment of credits as well as implementing a loyalty program to the players. A daily and monthly mystery bonus payout from the cashcade is in place to increase the chances of winning for the players. However, we urge the members to exercise restraint and prudence when enjoying these fruit machines. The Club will also be improving on its connectivity and accessibility. Cable television will be installed in all the Clubhouses, so that members can enjoy viewing more channels. All the premises will be WIFI enabled. The website will WIFI be revamped to make it more user friendly, interactive and appealing. Over the next 2 months, the Club has planned a variety of activities and events to meet the varying needs of members. Activities that will be organised include Mother’s Day Special, Family Day, Children’s Camp, enrichment classes for children, cooking classes for adults, family based activities and the ever popular local and overseas tours. MOTHERS DAY Do check them out either in the Fusion magazine, the Club’s website or on the recently installed LCDs at any of the Clubhouses. 4 GM’s Desk From The From 9th June 2010 is a significant date for our Club.
