Dear Members,<\/p>\n

August is around the corner soon and so is the monthly gathering but I am still unable to proceed due to the following constraints:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1.  No EO yet : Any volunteers?<\/font><\/li>\n
  2. Venue : Cant find any suitable venues, eventhough there were 2 proposals for consideration which I am not too keen to pursue.  Sembawang Park which we can incorporate monthly gathering coupled with cycling event at 1 go and another cafe around the China Sq Central.  Any other venues some members may want to help to propose, pls let me know<\/font><\/li>\n
  3. Cost : Both venues’ cost of food are on the high side, ie for Cafe (China Sq), 1 drink and quarter pie will cost ard $10\/pax.  Negotiation by member to get them to reduce abit was not successful as they claimed higher operating cost and lean profit.  As for Sembawang Park, was told that it will be around $25 – $30\/pax much depending on the total headcount as well as the foods that we wanted.  I am hoping to look at less than $10 – Any lobang for this – Pls share with us also.<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    The July monthly gathering at Sengkang Riverside Park was actually very nice whereby the ambience n the food are of reasonable price.  However, sad to say that we got complaints from the Cafe operator that we did not comply with their rules there.<\/p>\n

    I personally like to hold the monthly gathering at the Bra Cafe mainly cos it is nice & cosy place for fellowship which Pioneer and New members can communicate each other much easier.  Self introduction of the new members can also be easily heard by each and everyone in the cafe itself.  But the only setback is that, Bra Cafe is unable to accommodate more than 40paxs.  <\/p>\n

    Hence, in the event that I am unable to get another new venue for the monthly gathering, I will have the monthly gathering at Bra Cafe with only max headcount of 40paxs.<\/p>\n

    So, let’s hear from all members concerned.  Al your comments are valuable to us….<\/p>\n

    Cheers… Dolly <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
