The online Fleamart for November is now open for advertisements.Please familiarize yourselves with the rules governing the fleamart before posting.

• Rules

• Only buy and sell items by "individual" registered SHC members permitted. Price can be listed.
• Email addresses can be published. No telephone numbers or contact addresses allowed.
  
• As this is advertising, replies will not be permitted. Replies will be deleted. Interested buyers will have to contact the seller via email. 
• Individual membership cannot advertise "corporate" items. MLM items are not allowed.
• Members will have to publish the fleamart/sale items personally, not through another member.
• Maximum of 5 lines per advertisement in the comment box. Maximum of two advertisements per member.

Hi everbody,

Very often, email addresses are exchanged during social get-togethers.  Sometimes, invitations are sent out from one member to another member or group.  Sometimes, members display their email addresses on the forum.  As a result, a big list of emails can be collected over time.

Members who wish to send unsolicited emails, please do ask for permission from the members first.  It is not nice to send unsolicited emails.  For complaints, please respect the receiver’s request.

If you have a joke or story to tell, you may do so over this forum, thus reducing the number of complaints from members, especially when there are multiple responses.

Thank you.

SilverHairsClub started in Oct 2005.  With some friends, we conceived the idea of a social group for Singaporeans, over 45.  The idea was to develop a small group of friends whom we could enjoy our time through the years.  However, being novices in this area, the original group of founders were not sure of its success; but we decided to build it on a small scale, step by step.  To keep it as a platform for SilverHairs to meet other SilverHairs, we adopted a few taboos, more because we did not know how to manage these discussions.

While SilverHairsClub is seen as a blog or forum, it is now very much a Club for members to meet and interact with one another.  SilverHairsClub is both virtual and online; and yet it functions as a Club where members meet.  SilverHairsClub.com serves as a focal point for sharing and interaction.  A place where members get together to organise events, chat about this and that, and knowing other members with similar likes and dislikes.

SHC has undergone some small changes over the years.  In the coming months, I hope to see a bigger platform where members can get to meet new and more members.  On the ownership of SilverHairsClub and SilverHairsClub.com, I have made the  move to transit it from an individual ownership (myself) to SilverHairs Enterprise Pte Ltd.  Hopefully, this will receive better recognition and acceptance within the Singapore community.

So, this month is our 6th anniversary, or our 6th birthday.  I hope you will celebrate this birthday occasion with other fellow SHCians.  Happy Birthday to SilverHairsClub.

Since Oct 2005, the SilverHairsClub has only accepted individual membership. This means that only individuals or couples over the age of 45 can join in an individual capacity.  Although they may be working for a company, they cannot represent the company or participate in SHC activities on a corporate level.

WEF 15 Oct 2011, we will accept corporate memberships.

1. Members joining SHC as a corporate member will have their name displayed with their company name displayed beside their name.
2. Corporate memberships can only be respresented by a person or any number of persons who is 45 years and above.
3. The rules specifying no discussion on politics, sex, race, religion, direct selling and MLM will apply.
4. Advertising is not automatically permitted on the SilverHairsClub forum.  However, if the corporate member wishes to advertise, they may write to admin@SilverHairsClub.com.
5. Until end Dec 2011, corporate memberships are free. So, if you would also like to represent your company, it is best to do so now.  A joining fee will be implemented on/from 1 Jan 2012.
6. All corporate members must write an introduction of the company they represent.  As long as it clearly tells what the company is doing, the introduction will be accepted. It is important you state your position in the company.
7. Corporate members are allowed to invite members to their functions, participate in promotional and marketing events.  However, advertising or promotions on the forum is not permitted.

To join, please write to admin@silverhairsclub.com.

I hope that corporate memberships will improve and enhance the objective of providing a platform for SilverHairs, over 45 to meet new and more friends.  Hopefully, other advantages and benefits will follow.  It is all up to us as members, as we develop the club’s culture along the way.

SilverHairsClub is your club; for members who are 45 years and over.  You can share your thoughts with other members to find better value for your money.

For example, you can pool buying.  And assuming, you are looking to buy, say, an IPAD3.  And, you have discussed with Apple that if you can get 20 buyers, you would be able to get a 15% discount.  Please feel free to write a new Post, find out who’s interested, and when you reach 20, you can get these interested buyers to buy an IPAD3 together.  Obviously, the discount has to be good to attract fellow members.  This is only an example.  But, do not use this as an advertising platform.

Another example, you want to join a SPA but you need 4 people to get an "out of this world" discount.  Sure, go ahead and share with other ladies your idea.  Do remember there are  cheats around.  Again, this must not be an advertising for the company.  You can discuss with fellow members via email too.

Feel free to discuss comparative prices of NTUC, Tops, Cold Storage and Seng Shiong stores for products like chicken, milk, bread, plums, eggs, etc.  If you start this comparison, please remember to keep track of the Post and not leave it dangling.  This will encourage other members to regularly give their feedback, even monthly.

It’s ok to compare insurances which are essential to us, especially as we get older.  Only thing is to avoid getting into direct selling.

Feel free to get into this if you are comfortable doing so.

Hi guys!

It’s time to look at travelling for next year: And this post is inspired by the new Expedia.com.sg site in today’s newspaper. Yes, there are dozens of offers to all destinations with Air Asia… including my favourite: Thailand!

Please log in to the site within the next five days (till 9th October) and get special packages with hotel and flight.

I’m looking at going to Chiang Mai in February 2012 for the Flower Festival (Feb 3 – 5) which will feature dazzling flower displays, parades and beauty contests: a great photo/video opportunity! Besides, there’s all the food, craft shopping, sightseeing, etc, etc.

On checking the website, the offers for a five night stay (Feb 3 – 8) can be as low as S$280 per person twin-sharing. This includes flight, hotel and breakfast at a good tourist-class hotel.

So, if any of you are keen please register your interest and I’ll come back with details and recommendations. This is not a guided tour package and I will only help co-ordinate the trip if there are enough SHC members wanting to go.

Hi Cycling Friends

Keeping this event alive as ordered.!    

Although Changi Beach Park had received good reviews during last month’s cycling cum pot-luck gathering, most veterans requested to go back to ECP – Siglap Park Connector. 

First time venture into this connector was led by Douglas in Aug.  So, we are going to re-visit it again this month.  Most likely, the mid-rangers will stop at Kembagan MRT for a cuppa while waiting for the long-rangers to come back from their Bedok circuit.

• As usual, we meet @ 4pm : ECP Marina Cove MacDonald (inside)
• Proceed to bike rental kiosk @ 4.30pm

If you are going to join us, kindly register in the comments section here.

Those confirmed going :

1. Ah Nee
2. Lily
3. Dolly
4. Janie
5. Carly
6. John Howe
7. Andrew Yeung
8. Charles Chua
9. Kum Hong

Cycling Team – Douglas, Ah Nee & Lily

PS :  Douglas will be out of town @ the OCBC KL cycling event. 

        Goodluck to you Douglas.!    

Dear friends………..

I would like to invite all of you to join me at the Paya Lebar Kovan
