COMMODORE’S MESSAGE Dear fellow members,

IN REVIEW

The Club faced a few challenges in 2014. The Committee made a very difficult decision to close the Bridge restaurant in February due to declining patronage and manpower constraints. Jones Lang LaSalle was engaged to be our intermediary in searching for a suitable tenant with fresh dining options for members. We hope a new operator will come onbaord soon. Breakdown of our forklifts at the marina caused inconvenience to some boaters between March and June. Both Marina Bulls have since been repaired and in operation from end June. Maintenance regime of the forklifts was reviewed, training of forklift drivers in servicing the forklift was carried out and a more reliable company for maintenance of the machines was appointed. All these are put in place to prevent similar occurrence in future. One major accomplishment this year is the opening of our Marina Lodge Extension Wing, which went into full operation in January 2014. Do give your support by patronizing the Marina Lodge, where you and your guests can enjoy exceptionally special rates for the stay. Other areas of improvements include the new children’s playground which was installed in June 2014. Replacement of three pontoons in the wet berth and major repairs of pontoons at the Lay-by were completed in August 2014. In March the Committee passed a resolution to loan the original Lipton Cup to Singapore Sports Museum for a minimum display period of three and a maximum of five years. The Singapore Sports Museum (SSM) was opened on 9th October and the original Lipton Cup is being placed in a prominent location in Gallery 2 – ‘Chasing the Dream’ where it showcase the early sports clubs with strong heritage in Singapore. Other clubs in this section of the Museum include Singapore

Cricket Club, Singapore Recreation Club, Singapore Turf Club, Singapore Sailing Federation. We are proud that RSYC could play a role in preserving the Singapore’s sport heritage. The committee was happy to see the industry’s “old hands” joining our key management team – General Manager Trevor De Silva, Marina Manager Chan Nai Eng and Executive Chef Chua Kim Hai. Their experience and professionalism are necessary in bringing the Club up to next higher level.

HONORARY MEMBER

We are pleased to announce and welcome Mr S Iswaran – Minister, Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Home Affairs and Second Minister for Trade and Industry – who has graciously accepted our invitation to become our fifth Honorary Member. We look forward to more collaborations with the West Coast Grassroots organisation, where Mr Iswaran is MP of the West Coast GRC.

LOOKING AHEAD

Year 2015 marks the Club’s 15-year anniversary at our present clubhouse and the management and committee are working to create more social and recreational activities for members; which ultimately bring members back to the Club. Further development of the Club include construction of breakwater along our main pontoon along the West Coast Pier and a wet berth at H and I for larger yachts – details of which are being worked out by the committee. More information will be made available to members in due time.

UPCOMING EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

In recognition of notable milestones in the past few years, the Committee has decided to organise the RSYC Annual Dinner on Friday 21 November 2014, which will feature an exquisite 7-course Chinese Dinner specially designed and prepared by our executive chef and

Please note that the Wharf and Beacon Bar will end their operations early that day, in order to prepare for the grand feast. Please see details in this magazine.

FOOD & BEVERAGE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS The Events Team is planning weekends of fun for your kids at RSYC. We will set up the bouncy castle at the pool on Saturdays and Sundays in the daytime, and screen wholesome family movies during the evenings, just after dinner time. This will be a perfect way to spend your weekends at the Club. The team is also planning a 3-day workshop for the children that will add something meaningful to their leisure time. The programme details can be found on page 6.

MARINA LODGE Don’t forget to use your 30% discount at the Marina Lodge during the school holidays. Why not stay at your RSYC home, and avail yourselves of the activities being planned for your family.

Join us and make ComCare kids happy this November! Here’s your chance to put a great big smile on a youngster’s face! This year, RSYC is once again organising the Annual Charity Cruise, but with a slight difference.

Gracing the event on Saturday 22 November is MP for West Coast GRC and Minister in the PM’s Office, Mr S Iswaran, who will flag off the boats from RSYC Marina. This will be a great time for bonding and giving back to our community! So if you have a boat, and/or a jet-ski and some spare time, do join in the fun! Donations in cash or kind are also welcome.
