Travel has always been a top activity of SilverHairs.  We have worked all our lives, and we have not seen so many places. Some of us yean to go to Bangkok every year.  I go every month, and it is still exciting.  But there are so many other places.  There is China, India, Callifornia, Mexico (World Cup comng), Artic cruise, around Vancouver, etc, etc.  No end, our dreams and our pockets will decide.

An European Train travel 14 countries, How about Genting, Penang, or even Bali, or even Perth, Brisbane.  Too many, where do you want to go.  Your wishes, make it come true.

All your travel dreams will work well, if planned in advance, and you go with friends, people you know.  Maybe you want to go to Europe next year, but dont know who to go with.  Well, there is always someone who wants to go to Europe too.  Talk about it.  Let’s others know where you would like  go.  Maybe, both of you will pair up.

Well, we will set a date where all interested in travel can come together.  We will gather you in groups, by cities or groups, or …. The rest will be up to you. So, speak up and register your interest here.

This event is strictly for SHC members only.  However, you go with finally, is up to you.  Have fun.

Eurail global passes, click here:  http://www.eurail.com/eurail-passes/global-pass.  Organise yourself in groups of 4.

   I have better put this down in writing before I leave Singapore next week.  Then i shall be away for a few weeks.  Some of you think, wow, I come up with marvel ideas and interesting events.  Honestly, my upstairs is quite crowded, or I rather say clouded.  The real ideas come from SilverHairs members.  These are the members who have enjoyed the friendship they had made from SHC events.  They want to help others come out of their apartments. I feel very good and satisfied when someone calls me and say, Terence, you wont believe it.  I had a tea party this after, and then followed by a movie, and ….  Well I cannot enjoy this rush, but many have.

Back to May.  What shall we have?  Do you know how many members spend their waking up hours as well as sleeping hours?  Yes, in the financial markets, buying and selling local equities, European and US too.  Recently, some made money from the fall in penny stalks. Others made a bundle.  The typical question is always “What tips do you have”.  For some, it will be how to sign up and with who, which ….

How about we have a day or late afternoon?  May be a Saturday afternoon.  The experts come and share.  The regulars talk with other regulars.  The newbies, come hear from the other newbies.    Share what you are doing in the US markets,in the European markets, what’s new.

We will gather in small groups.  Maybe by markets.  maybe by the type of markets – currencies, stocks, bonds, …..Tell us here what you are interested here.  You will be surprised how many will come up to help you.

Somewhere in the middle of April, we will come up with a place, if you dont say anything, I may consider suggesting Hans.

Payment::

Please make payment transfer to Karen Thio at POSB account 207-31089-1. Let us know your transfer reference number.

Most of us love to have friends whom we can get together.  We all love activities.  We want to join activities. And we want to meet new people and catch up with old friends. Since the Club started, I have always love to see SilverHairs meet up with other old SilverHairs, and meet new ones too. Let’s see how fast this program catch up with our membership.

First of all, I have found a place to hold a beachside potluck.  I accidentally found the place while doing an evening walk.  There are new BBQ pits around.  It is located somewhere in Changi, near some river mouth.  There is a jetty nearby, with some boats there, to ferry people to the islands.  The place looks new.  I have seen many Malay families gather there with tents, home cook food, doing cycing there.

I like to organise a big picnic there,  Once I have identified the place, I shall indicate the date and the time, likely an afternoon 2-6 pm.  And, of course, if my diary is free from any travel. Likely date:  within April 2014. Somehow, I had cut down my travel after the MH370 issue.  No program, food or drinks has been planned.  Let’s build the program from here.

All members are invited.  Non-members are also invited.

1. Members – $10
2. Non-members – $15
3. If you cook a dish for 4-5 people (not buy) eg curry, stew, I shall discount $8
4. If you bake a cake, or make a dessert for at least 4-5 people (not buy), I shall discount $8.
5. If you lead an activity eg a singalong, I shall discount $5.
6. If you register yourself personally for this event, there is a discount of $1.
7. If you bring along another member or non-member of the opposite sex, there is a discount of 10%.

Let’s start.  Run wild with your ideas.  If ok, I shall say yes, If no, I shall say no within 24 hours.

Update:

• Date:  Sat 26 April 2014
• Venue:  Changi Beach Park
• Exact location:  Carpark A, near BBQ pit 6
• Time:  1400 hours to 1800 hours.

During the earlier days of the SilverHairsClub, we had held a couple of BBQs at the East Coast Park.  On some occasions, the event coincide with the cycling activity.  On one occasion, it was a standalone late afternoon, and I remembered we almost had to beg the rain to stay up in the skies.

Perhaps, it is time to have another one.  Here’s the map.

Let’s say:

We get the charcoal, the starters, the drinks, the water, the BBQ sauce, the plates, the fork and spoons, cups, ice, rubbish bags, the tissue paper from the shop, near Area C.  We have a reasonable charge.

We book two pits from the National Park.

We get to park at carpark C1.  There is an under pass to Marine Parade Promenade.

We get to swim, sun tan and laze around the greens.  Show off our swimming gear, play netball or badminton.  Or go cycling after the BBQ makan.

And, we have an afternoon BBQ, say 12nn to 1600 hrs.

And, everybody brings one pc of sausage, 200 grams of beef or a corb of jargon or one pc of chicken wings from their supermarket.

And, we clean up the place by 1600 hrs.  We can also not clean the place up, and pay someone to clean it up behind us.

Date confirmed –  Sat 18 May 2013 at BBQ pits C13 & C14.

The Mar monthly gathering, EO’d by Hew Lee was just over.  We have to plan for the next gathering.  I now like to switch quickly to the May gathering.

The monthly gatherings are planned with the intention of meeting the Club’s objective.  It’s meant for you to find new friends and catch up with old friends.  It’s may get a bit boring if we stick all the while to Hans Cafe; but it has the benefit of space, flexibility and no requirement to commit to a fixed number of pax.  Retirees start coming in from 4pm, while those working start strolling in after 6.30pm.  And, the gathering is usually held on a weekday.  We are now trying a Saturday morning.

Together with Jassmine Teo, who is in charge of the online Fleamart, I have thought of having the May monthly gathering to coincide with a small fleamart.  Am working out the details.

1. Venue:  The Good Morning Nanyang Cafe, opp Royal Park hotel, 20 Upper Pickering Street.  Right at Exit A of Clarke Quay MRT station.
2. Date:  Sat 4 May 2013; but not confirmed.  But, it will be a Saturday morning.
3. Time:  0900 hrs to 1300 hrs.
4. Fleamart stalls: limited to 4.  Strictly for members only.  Fleamart tables:  Not sure what and how we can cost it.  Although I think it will be $10  to $15 for a table space.
5. About the place:  I had a coffee set, but it does have chicken curry with rice, and non-complicated food.  There is an aircon area about the size of a bedroom,  an outside dining area, about the size of a bus and and outer open space area for something which we have not thought of.  Maybe able to play badminton, if we can get approval from the Hong Lim community centre.
6. After the gathering, you can go shopping.  Cylists, runners and walkists can also meet here.
7. About the crowds:  No idea really, I think few companies open on a Sat; but the air is fresh, and the place has open wide space.
8. How much do we charge?  No thoughts yet; although the owner has said he needs to prepare for the food and drinks.  Will let you know later.  It is likely to be less than $10 per pax, and $2 more for each family members and non-members.
9. Car Park:  There is a nice open air car park space beside the venue.  I think about 15 cars can park there.  Didnt think of CBC charges, although I encourage all to take the MRT as you just need to walk up.

I am looking for an EO to raise his/her hand to run this event.  You can find your own co-EO if you are comfortable about doing so.  We need to finalise the details with the owner, confirm the date and time, inform our members in the Club, set a cost, approve the fleamart holders and start a registration list.  EOs usually make a lot of friends.

This monthly gathering and fleamart event is strictly for participation by SHC members only.  The fleamart may be patronised by some members of the public.  As this place is open to the public, non-members and/or members bringing their families and friends will be charged at $2 above member price.

I look forward to you being among the early ones to register for the event.  Also, fleamart stall holders can register here, stating what you intend to sell, subject to approval by the EO.
