SHC October monthly gathering at Hans Cafe, Thur Oct 14, 2010

This Post is reassigned to Henry Yip, original author Terence Seah

The next monthly gathering is scheduled for Thurs, Oct 14, 2010.  The venue is Hans Cafe at Great Eastern building, Upper Pickering Street, from 1700 to 2030 hrs.

There has been a suggestion to hold the event at Newton Circus Hawkers centre.  But, as I have not surveyed it yet, we may hold it another day.  If you know of a venue, large enough to accommodate our monthly gathering crowds, do share with us.  The venue should be near a MRT station, has no requirement for us to place fixed headcounts or menu orders, has its own chairs and tables, simple order from its F&B counter and noise tolerant.  Hopefully, we can accommodate the needs of retirees and still working SilverHairs.

The aim of the monthly gathering is to enable social networking among SHCians, for new and old SilverHairs to meet one another.  If you are new, please write an introduction or profile here on this club forum.  This way, others will get to know you.  And if you wish to meet other like-minded members, please indicate in the comments when you register.

I encourage you to register personally on this Post, if you plan to come.  This event is strictly for SHC members only.  Please do not bring friends or associates.  The EO will be announced soon.

If you wish to be the EO, please write to me.  I need some help with registration, hope you can volunteer.

Do register here.

  1. Hi Terence,
    Just wondering if my sister Marge Weichmann has been registered as a member yet? She’ll be here this Friday, so could you pls help me to register her name in SHC so that I could bring her to some of the events when she’s here? Pls let me know what you’ll need and I’ll furnish you whatever I can provide on her details. Many thanks. Regards, Lisa Ong

  19. For the Oct Monthly gathering, Henry Yip has accepted the role of EO. Get to know him too; he is a fun-loving cheerful Singaporean.

    He will also be asking for some help; so let’s hear what he wants or needs.

    Hans Cafe will be allocating as usual the same space at the back of the dining area for the SilverHairsClub. You can start coming at 5pm; and I guess most will knock off at 2030 hrs. Have fun. And thank you Henry.

    This Post is now assigned to you. You may edit the Post as you see fit.

  80. Buddy Yip,

    Congratulations on doing a superb job as an EO for Oct Gathering! Must commend you for your diligent efforts in taking the extra mile to ensure the Newbies are well introduced to existing members and you’re indeed a good & natural ‘Ice Breaker’! Most of us are comfortably tucked at a corner, totally engrossed in good conversations with existing & new members, and you ought to be proud of your task as a First-Timer!

    Keep up your jovial & cheerful disposition buddy, ~~ you’re certainly of great help for future SHC events!

    Cheers!

  81. Hi Henry

    Thanks for organising this monthly meet. It’s my second time
    at such a gathering….nice ambience and chit chat…..

    Cheers and Kudos for a job well done!

    Keep it up!
    Gabriella

  82. Buddy Henry,

    Yes,I certainly agreed with what Sue has said. A Great EO.

    Thks for orgainising this lively gathering. I am sure those attended fully agreed. Also thk Dolly for the help in registration.

    Sue, left early and did not able to say hello to you. Take care, c u another time.

    Lilian
    Cheers !!!

  83. Hey Henry,

    Well you have done it! First time EO with roaring success so does that mean that this is the start of many more events that you will organise? We are looking forward to that and I am sure I speak for a few of us, right SueC and LilianT?

    I am glad that I manage to attend although I told you that it would be a tentative for me. I met and caught up with some SHC friends that I have not seen regularly enough and felt it was an evening well spent.

    Gingko#69 what a novel way of signing up and all very much in tune with the christmas carols that Henry was trying to get everyone in the mood with! Haha

  84. Dear Carly, SueC, GabriellaC, LillianT & CatY,
    Heart felt thanks for all yr warm & kind gestures. Thanks for attributing this event as successfull, and it was very clearly no less due to all yr infectious enthusiasm & very sporting dispositions. Thanks all who came & hope U did enjoyed yourselves. And now return the thread to chief. “Chief, mission complete”…….” PARADE FALL-OUT” hahaha

    ……Through the years, We all will be together, If the Fates allow, Hang a shining star On the highest bough,
    And have yourself A merry merry holiday seasons now…………

  85. Hi Brother Henry Yip,

    Despite being a first time E.O., you were full of enthusiasm and energy moving around introducing newbies to us. As such newbies felt at ease.

    Need I say more , Sue Chan, Catherine Yeo and Caroline Gee etc… can attest to it. :) Well done ! ***

    Cat Yeo has mentioned above that we are all looking forward to your next E.O. posting . Wanna what you have in store for us.

  86. Hi Bro StevenC, hai mayo swee chiao? hahaha, U r always the kind gentlemen, my next outing will be asisting Carly jie in her next block buster event, ‘ The Summer Romance 2011′
    It will sound like ( with heavy guitars & drums) …..Summer lovin’ had me a blast……..hahaha

  92. I did in Sep, always love the fragrant harbour….

    no news fm the congressional currency wars…might as well zzz, GT, chat again soon , on behalf of SHC Sing to SHC HK ” hv a nice weekend cheers”

  93. Hi HenryY,

    Wow, I read the last SHC monthly gathering as full of excitement. Does sound like you will be running another event sometime again in the future. You defintely have found many guys and gals to help you.

    Yes, SHC can have many social events; but the monthly gathering has to be unique to offer a platform for SHCians to meet new and old SilverHairs.

    Now, we have to start working on the Nov and Dec monthly gatherings. Again, time for a hands-up call for the EO.

    Terence Seah

  94. Hi HenryY, Geraldine,

    Altho I was in HK this Monday, I didn’t have time to go wild at Lan Kwai Fong as I was there on an overnight activity.

    But Tuesday, I went to Kaohsiung, saw something which gave a stretch to our minds. A standing room gathering, where guys and gals dressed to attend a social gathering on an afternoon. A great way to mix aroundf and get to know one another.we will go for it.

    Terence Seah

  95. WOW Henry, looks like your ‘virgin’ event was a hit…..too bad I had classes to teach and could not make it kekekekeke.

    King Seng had sent me some 40 photos but I am holdng back for a couple of days to see if there are more photos coming from the other members before uploading them

    Cheers
    Sock

  100. Hi Sockie #99 & King Seng, many2 thks for the pics.

    Hi Terence #94 agree tht ‘a standing room gathering’ is the most ideal, yea go for it matey haha

    Hi Freda #98, yes the earlier V get into the mood the better hahaha

    …cheers3…cheers2 all the way……
