Thur Jul 14, 2011 Monthly Gathering at Riverside

 "The aim of the monthly gathering is to enable social networking among SHCians, for new and old SilverHairs to meet one another." – Terence Seah

Hi, Members!  

For our July gathering, let’s come away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown city area and meet outdoors at the Sengkang Riverside Park to play kampung games, and fly kite.  Mushroom Cafe in the Park has no walls; it opens out to the rolling landscaped greenery by the Punggol River.  

Many of you enjoyed "March 2011 Walk – Sengkang Riverside PCN" on March 12 this year.  Freda Lim liked its "country-like scenery"! If you can, do come early to take in a brief walk among the trails, and the panoramic view from the hillock.

On the agenda is "kampung games" like gasing, chapteh, hopscotch, five stones, marbles, red seeds, skipping rope, paper ball, hantam bola, fighting spiders, kite-flying, etc.  Many of you remembered these games that we used to play in the old days (Read Rosalind Lee’s post "Reminiscenses of the good old days" Feb 10, 2010).  If you have these games or other games, do bring along and we’ll have fun replaying them.

If you wish, can stay after 9.30 pm for line-dancing.  Some of the popular pieces: Electric Slide, Chilli ChaCha, Come Dance With Me, Cowboy Motion, Honky Tonk Stomp, Stroll Along ChaCha.

  • Date : Thursday, July 14, 2011  
  • Time : 5 pm – 9.30 pm  
  • Place : Mushroom Cafe in the Park, Sengkang Riverside Park, Anchorvale Street  

How to get there by LRT : Arrive at Sengkang MRT. Ride the LRT to Farmway Station (2 stops from Sengkang MRT).  Walk 5 mins towards Punggol River. Cross the bridge and walk towards the Cafe with the ‘big red mushroom’ signboard.  There is no bus service along Anchorvale Street.

Bicycle – accessible from Hougang (via PCN), Rivervale, Compassvale, Anchorvale, Fernvale 

Program :

  1. Registration and Introduction of SHC members and new members
  2. Fellowship and interaction  
  3. Kampung games  (Bring picnic mats/foldable chairs)
  4. Kite flying  (I hope there’s a good wind on that day)
  5. Line-dancing after 9.30 pm (Bring your preferred music/player)  
  6. Discussion – next monthly gathering  
  7. Any other matters  

Please note this gathering is for members only.   If your friends wish to join in, they are welcome to first sign up as members.  Also, do have on your nametag when you arrive; this will greatly facilitate introduction.
