The Secretariat has grown together with the workload. One only has to look at this annual report to see the amount of work that has gone in – overseas competitions, training camps, workshops, coaches and judges’ development – the calendar is chock full of activities. Indeed, at times, I wonder if we are doing too much. The high turn-over rate of the Secretariat is a warning sign and the continuing budget deficit is another. Perhaps, the in-coming Board might want to be a bit more introspective and review the priorities of the Association. The answer is not going to be easy. For example, we know we need to increase membership to generate income. That entails reaching out to the community and engaging the clubs among others. It means conducting activities as stated above; which in turn, increases our operating cost. It may mean that fund-raising activities need to be permanent features in our calendar. Thankfully, we are now operating under our new constitution and for the first time in SG ‘s history, our club members can vote and stand for election. Together we can work on resolving these issues. On the high-performance front, we are also achieving stability. Competition results from our gymnasts, including our developmental teams, are encouraging. One highlight was the qualification of our WAG gymnast, Tamara Anika Ong, for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. With our programmes in place, we have been able to convince SportSG to release enhanced funding for the engagement of a Head Coach for WAG and a Pathway Manager for all disciplines. Moving forward, our high-performance goal can no longer be just podium finishes at regional games, such as the SEA Games, but rather consistent representation at the World and Olympics arenas. With the fraternity working as one, we can do it. Yours Respectfully, Choy Kah Kin Singapore Gymnastics Annual report 2018/2019 5 | Page Treasurer’s Report FY18/19 Financial Report Singapore Gymnastics’ financial result for the year was an operating loss of $118,989 against a planned operating loss of $154,090. The planned loss revolved around an investment in the organisations resources in two areas; the building of the infrastructure to enable the organisation to grow and capitalise on current and new revenue streams, and to resource the capacity and capability of the National Training Centre coaching team to be able to deliver on the long term high performance goals. SG was able to secure a 12.8% increase in SportSG funding in FY18/19 and an addition increase in FY19/20 funding of 16.2% to assist with this investment. The FY18/19 saw a concentrated effort on developing the infrastructure to be able to capture, engage and build the membership base in the upcoming years with the introduction of the national database and the redevelopment of the coach education framework. The framework not only builds the capacity and capability of our coaching community but is also an additional revenue stream that can and will assist with the organisation’s sustainability. There was also a focus on the key fundraising event which was the Charity Golf and Dinner held in November 2018. The success and structure of the donations for the Charity Golf has also secured $80,000 from the SportSG One Team Singapore Funding (OTSF) which will be taken into the accounts in FY19/20. Effectively this reduces the deficit incurred in FY18/19 to $38,989. Major points concerning the Financial Statement: • In FY18/19 the fundraising Charity Golf and Dinner had
