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?".

“For a gathering or activity to be classified as a SHC activity, it can only be attended by SHC members”.
Perhaps it is a tad too long.
I’d rather say that “A gathering/activity classified as a SHC activity can only be attended by SHC members”.
It’s nice of the SHC Administrator to allow use of this space for SHCians to also post invitations to non-SHC activities, the difference of which is sometimes separated by a mere whisker, like also inviting children of SHCians to some form of “family gatherings”.
Have some flexibility and versatility for “special needs” of SHC members, esp manageable needs like children tag along or passionate grounds (spoken or unspoken).
Leave discretion/flexibility to the EO’s discretion and graciousness, on case by case basis.
Solid Gold for graciousness in our society.

If SHC members need to be chaperon on dates then there is no hope for our society.
I will be broader than A. Any lawful activities by members for members are OK.
We must be discerning if we are organising a commercial-like activities. Irregardless of whether a company is incorporated, think of a corporate entity where the players are SHC members. The other players like suppliers and customers can be outsiders. No efficient organisation can be fully self-sufficient. It must interact and exchange with its environment.
Our flea market is a case in point. Let’s see…
SHC organised activities should be strictly for SHC members, no two says about it. If SHC organise FAMILY DAY gatherings, then children of members should be allowed.
Other than FAMILY DAY gatherings, no other activities should NON-MEMBERS be allowed, that include members’ children.

I am with you, KT, for greater grace.
Unless it is an arcane SHC occasion, then strict members only without exception.
Social activities like gatherings may have gracious versatility, on rare case by case.
Most activities, only SHCians attend.
From the last one month, on five occasions, I realised most who joined in are ladies.
I would be compassionate (and would err) to those mothers who have some rare needs.
Like a child meeting his mother after his class nearby. No issue for him to join in the last half an hour.
My experience with people of all walks of life and different backgrounds from humble to royalty,in private, public and people sectors for the last four decades signals the importance and true meaning of graciousness and human touch.
Flexibility in unforeseen and rare circumstances goes a long way with the humanity’s love, care and concern.

Agree. Why wait. Wanna do it, do it now! Lets have a “Babies Nite” tomorrow after the flea market.
All sugar dagdies can bring their babes along.
All honey mummies can parade their toy boys in G-strings.
Hee hee.

Correctly said, the imbalance of the sexes, would like to know from our founder, Terence, the ratio of both males and females membership.
If is is highly loopsided, high time a campaign be formulated. At least Danz will be the happy man to have an equality.

Alamak, so fast meh, to have “babies nite” on Saturday. Even with sugar daddies and honey mummies, it can’t work that fast, better to hold a “Babes Nite”.

Does that mean you’re not bringing your G-string again?
No money, no honey?
Win the Singapore National Dish Contest and takeaway babe of your choice. Mutally consenting adults in the dimly lighted fields in front of Scorebot.
Now we know why Ter insisted on not having lights.
But we have night scope and luminescent enhancement technology. We also sell Animal Planet specials in flea market- original tiger shows.
Hee-hee.
