Category: SHC Monthly gatherings

The photographs of the Flea Mart are out.  Nice blue skies from late Sat afternoon to early evening.  Event Organiser:  LH Jie.  Spot anybody you know?  The Mar 2008 monthly gathering is also held at the same time.

Tell us what you think?  Should we hold the flea mart again?  Once a month, or once a year.  Any suggestions on improving this event.  Good comments or not so good comments, your feedback is important.  Same location, different location.  Same time or different days?

Frequently, I have been asked if non-SHC members can join our functions.  So, I like to clarify as follows.  For a gathering or activity to be classified as a SHC activity,  it can only be attended by SHC members.

At the same time, I would also encourage SHCians to organise their own gatherings or activities, and still make use of this forum.  However, please do not call or classify the activity or gathering as a SHC activity, if non-SHC members are invited to attend.  You are encouraged to invited other SHC members to attend your activities and particiate in your interests.

I hope this clarifies "What is an SHC activity?".

Hi all SHCians,

For the first time, we will combine a monthly gathering, with another activity "SHC Flea mart".  Originally, the plan was to hold the monthly gathering at the Han’s cafe and Cake house at Great Eastern Centre.  But, since then, we have now firmed the location of the 1st SHC Flea mart,  at Bali Lane, we shall combine the two events.  The hope is that once a year, we will combine one monthly gathering with the SHC Flea Mart.

We have a 99% chance these two events are ON.  The likely dates are 8, 9 or 15 March, afternoon.  Please note these dates as the announcement will be made very very soon.

This monthly gathering strictly for SilverHairsClub members only.  Flea Mart buyers will come from members and the public.

SilverHairsClub Jan event was held at the Hans Cafe on 17 Jan 2008.  The gathering was divided into two groups – one, the retired SilverHairs and second, the still-working SilverHairs.

Do you like the arrangement of the place?  What about the F&B arrangements?  Share with us your ideas and thoughts for the next event.  How should we go about having a topic of discussion here.  Or, should we continue with no agenda?  What about your views of having two groups?

It is very likely we will hold the next gathering at the Hans cafe, on a Saturday afternoon, and have about 200 SHC members attending.  Would you like to raise your hand, and be the next Event Organiser at the Hans Cafe?

Hi SHCians,

During this Chinese New Year month, how about having something different?  Dim-sum, raw fish or go easy on Chinese tea?  Name a place, somewhere where the venue wont mind our noise.  We can decide  by Jan 17.  Cheers.

As of 8 Jan 2008, the tentative (99% confirmed) venue for the Chinese New Year event is "Fortunate Restaurant at Toa Payoh (Block 181, Lorong 4, next to the Toa Payoh libary).  We will have a small dim sum menu for lunch, starting at 1100 hrs and finishing at 1400 hrs.  I plan to block 6 tables of 10 each.  The date is Sat, 16 Feb 2008.  More details after Jan 17.

After the lunch, cyclists can proceed to the East Coast for their cycling event at 4pm.  Yew Kwong thinks this arrangement is workable.  Let’s try it out.

The numbers are growing; and it has become pretty tight with a number of places we currently use for the monthly gathering.  We cannot expand due to limited places.  Do you know of a place with the following specifications.

1. Something like Hans Cafe at Great Eastern would be excellent.  The venue has F&B, and we don’t have to get involved with serving food, collecting monies and cleaning the tables.
2. Preferably where the coffee or tea is less than $2.
3. Plenty of seats, although a minimum of 50 is desired.  SilverHairs need to sit after 10 minutes of standing.
4. Very flexible with numbers; meaning committment to numbers can be made one week before actual event.
5. The venue should preferably not be a function room, with boring four walls.  A setting in an auditorium, a cafe, a restaurant (especially off peak times), a food court (off-peak), a swimming pool in a condo ground.

Do you have a place in mind?  But, not to rule out other places, your recommendation most appreciated.

Terence Seah

Terence,

             I don’t mind organising the above Party but the problem is getting a suitable venue for SHCians to Sing, Dance and "Yam Seng" the night away. Anyone with brilliant ideas?
