The competition was held at Changi resort and all participants had a great golf outing and dinner. We would also like to convey special thanks to our sponsor for the commemorative item given out during the event. Look out for photos of yourself and friends in the following pages. Our National Day celebrations are just over and this year was special as Singapore celebrates its 50th year of independence. Many of us thoroughly enjoyed watching the NDP parade which had many of our members involved. There was an open house at our Seasports centre during that week and many visitors got to try out its many exciting facilities. Looking ahead we are organising a mooncake lantern party for children and the very popular Oktoberfest is ON. Do note that you have to sign up early as Oktoberfest sells out fast. Construction of the new golf course is on schedule and we are updating you in this issue. The club is planning many new facilities for the future and the Engagement committee will be holding sessions to gather feedback for planning. Do speak to them about your ideas. On the international sporting scene, congratulations to our member Joey Yeo for winning the Bowling World Open women singles championship. We are very proud of her and hope that this will inspire more of our members to reach the top echelons of their sports. You can read about her exploits here. There will be a change of leadership at NSRCC as our Club President, Chief of Defence Force LG Ng Chee Meng has retired and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. I am sure he will still visit our club regularly to see us and check on our progress. Taking over as Club President is MG Perry Lim, who is no stranger to our club and we look forward to his leadership bringing our club to the next level of development. Have a good read, Sze Wah resort view 4 seen&heard Joey Yeo Wins Inaugural Bowling World Open SRCC’s very own Joey Yeo has won January and was part of the Singapore Nthe inaugural Bowling World Open team in last year’s Asian Games in women’s singles title in Japan.
