The SilverHairsClub is for Singaporeans, over 45.  The taboos on activities and discussions of the club are "No politics, sex, religion, race, direct selling and MLM".  Its objective is to provide a platform for SHCians to meet new and more friends.<\/p>\n

From time to time, we get requests from expatriates and PRs to join SHC.  The answer is we will exercise discretion, and membership is subject to our approval.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that only individuals are allowed to join this virtual but real social club.  In other words, corporations or companies or external organisations are not allowed to join SHC.  Corporations cannot be represented by a member, altho members may be part of that organisation.<\/p>\n

As this is a "free to join" club, advertising is not permitted on the forum and during club activities.  Therefore, we do not support promoting external organsiations.  There are requests from members to promote external organisations or sell products.  I am reviewing this but unfortunately, I have not found a solution to meet such requests.  Basically, we do not have the human resources.<\/p>\n

However, SHC has always been very open to members who are entrepreneurial, runs their own business and able to provide handy men services.  Some degree of mention of what you do will be accepted on this forum. Again, external organisations are not permitted to be mentioned here.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of what can be accepted on this forum:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    You are attending a sales talk at ABC company.  You may invited other members to join you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    You are the owner of XYZ flower shop, and you can offer flowers at discounts of 10% to members.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    You provide PC fixing services, and would like members to know.  You may mention this in  your profile when you introduce yourself to fellow members.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    You can organise activities at BBB karaoke, and invite members to participate. This is acceptable, as long as you are attending.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some examples of what would not be accepted on this forum:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n
      You put up news that there is a sales or service available at ABC company.  ABC company does not belong to you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      You are a member of HHH club, and you like other members to join.  You would like to put up some advertising.  We do not promote external organsiations.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \n
      You read some news in the newspapers about a company offering health products.  You would like to copy this information for other members.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Some of you have expressed disappointment and even anger at this rules.  I am not so sure how to handle this.  SHC does not have a management or a committee.  We are unable to monitor or keep track of all activities and going-ons.  So, a simple set of rules is sufficient.<\/p>\n

      If in doubt, feel free to write to me.  You are free to express your views and comments here too.<\/p>\n
