Guest Rooms UpdateIn the December edition of our Club magazine, I shared with you that the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) granted us approval to construct more rooms in the former spa located on the 5th floor of the Sports Complex. Since then, we prepared the Tender specifications and progressed through our Tender process. We will be evaluating the submissions this month, and in the near future, we will be sharing the submission highlights with you, along with the business case, to assist you with your evaluation of our upcoming proposal.

Maintaining the ‘Club Standard’On a final note, in response to Member sentiment that the Club is too accessible to non-Members, we recently asked Management to enforce proximity card access to the Sports Complex, restrict Singapore resident Reciprocal Club Members from accessing the Club, and generally to ensure that Members sign in “their” Guests. We kindly seek your cooperation and support to ensure the comfort, safety, security and exclusivity of our Club. I would also like to share that March 2016 will see us restrict all guest parking to the Sports Complex, on a three-month trial. This will help us better control non-Member access. The Committee encourages you to please read future updates on these important matters and to ensure that your guests understand Clubhouse Rules. Collectively, we seek your support to ensure we uphold our Club’s high standards. Once again, Happy New Year. The General Committee looks forward to serving you in 2016.

Yours faithfully

P r e s i d e n t ’ s M e s s a g e

Robert WienerPresident

Dear Fellow Members

Happy New YearThere’s a renewed enthusiasm in the air and a freshness that comes with welcoming the new calendar year. I am joined by the General Committee, in wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous 2016. As a Committee, we’ve now served you about eight months and we promise you continued progress in the months ahead. As your President, it was a privilege to host the annual Tree Lighting. It is truly a fantastic tradition and wonderful to see our Community come together for this special occasion. The sheer enjoyment on the faces of Members, some young and some not so very young, was heartening. A special thank you to our very own Tanglin Choir; they sung brilliantly. For a glimpse of the merry-making, we’ve included a two-page spread of the highlights on pages 31-32. Introducing Tang YunWe were delighted to have received about 150 submissions from Members in response to our naming contest. We formulated our new name by blending two submissions to arrive at Tang Yun. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to invite you all to join us Saturday, 30 January, for Tang Yun’s Grand Opening. The Lion Dance will commence at 11.28am sharp, and will be followed by delicious samples from our new Chinese restaurant culinary team. Business Centre/TanglesWith the relocation of the Administration Office from the Main Clubhouse to the 4th

level of the Sports & Recreation Complex, the refurbishment of our Function Rooms (Raffles, Claymore and Draycott), and the completion of our Chinese Restaurant, our design focus shifts toward the final two components of the SGM-approved $2.5 Million project – the Business Centre, and Tangles Cafe. The House and Development and Planning Sub-Committees, joined by management, are busy assessing floor plan options. We will be updating you in due course. LibraryI would also like to thank those of you who shared your views about the new Library design. We have taken on board some of the feedback and incorporated changes like: more soft seating, warmer wood tones and the removal of the contemporary feature carpet. Whilst effecting these changes has caused a slight delay, it is important, process-wise, that we do so. As a General Committee, we are listening carefully to Member feedback and have acted accordingly to ensure optimum Member satisfaction. The Tender Documents were revised, and a Tender call was published in the Newspaper. We’ll continue to keep you posted on our progress.

"As a General Committee, we are listening carefully to Member feedback and have acted accordingly to ensure optimum

Fellow Members,

What a busy year 2015 has been for the Club! On top of the 150th anniversary celebration events that were happening throughout the year, the following charity events were organised in the Club as well:

• In the month of May, the Golf Section organised a golf charity event, and raised $39,496 for the Special Olympics Singapore.• Also in the month of May, the Dance Section held a dance event, and raised $10,000 for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS).• In the month of October, the Club invited 130 underprivileged children to a Pool-side carnival. About 50 Club Members volunteered their time to chaperon the children on the event day itself. Smiles from the children abounded as they splashed and played in the pools, and were treated to clown stilt walkers, a magic show, cotton candy, and fun-food. • Also, in the month of October, the Club raised $391,950, of which $195,975 went to the President’s Challenge, and the remaining half went to the following club-elected charities: Kidney Dialysis Foundation, Food from the Heart and Focus on the Family.

Truly the year 2015 has been a fulfilling one for the Club in the area of giving back to the community. Well done Tanglin Club!

Moving on. A Members Communications survey was recently conducted. My thanks to the 359 Members who participated in the survey. Your participation has provided valuable data to help guide the Marketing & Communications (a.k.a. Marcom) team in its decision moving forward in shaping the Club’s communication tools (magazine, website, Digital displays, etc). Congratulations to Ms Karen Goh, Dr Derrick Yeo, and Mr Tan Soo Ren, who have won the 3 prizes from the survey contest ($288 TC dining vouchers, a bottle of Hendricks Gin worth $99, and a Bottega Prosecco Gold NV worth $60, respectively).

I thought I would share some interesting results from the MemComms survey:

The age structure of the survey participants are as follows:

Age Group of Readership: Size< 35 4%35-45 19%46-56 23%57-67 30%68-78 20%> 78 4%

Of the 359 Members who participated in the survey, 70% of the survey participants agree or strongly agree that the quality of content in the magazine is good.

Similarly, 71% of the survey participants like the current look and style of the magazine.

While the above two numbers do indicate that the magazine’s current content structure, look and style are generally well received by the membership, several negative feedback points were given by some members as well. The team will be looking into these points in detail to see how they can be addressed.

"Truly the year 2015 has been a fulfilling one for the Club in the area of giving back to the community."

The top 6 most popular magazine sections voted by the participants are (in descending order of popularity): Food & Beverage; Events; General Manager’s Message; President’s Message; Wine & Dine; and finally Cinema.

78% of the survey participants prefer the Club magazine to be labelled "The Tanglin Club", while 18% prefer the name "The Tanglin Times". As such, the name of the magazine will remain as it is currently.

On the question “What do you think we should include to make the magazine better?”, interestingly, 9% of the participants felt that no further changes to the magazine is required. 44% of the participants provided many varied suggestions on what could be done to make the magazine better, while the remaining 47% had no comments. Moving forward, the Marcom team will be analysing these suggestions to see how the magazine can be improved based on them.

On the question on whether Members prefer to still have a physical copy of the magazine or the digital version, 41% still prefer the printed copy, 31% prefer the digital copy, and the remaining 28% are indifferent. As such, we will still continue to print the physical magazine for the general membership. Concurrently, for Members who would like to opt-out of receiving a physical copy, and instead receive a digital copy, the Club currently offers a notification service called NewsBites, which sends a notification email to Members, whenever a new issue of Club magazine digital copy is ready. Within that notification email will be a direct hyperlink to the digital copy. To opt-out of the physical magazine copy and subscribe to NewsBites, please drop an email to the Marcom team at [email protected].

On the question “What other communication channels would you like to see in this Club?”, the top-2 significant feedback points were:

• No change needed (50%)• Facebook (42%)

The popularity of the “Facebook” suggestion is significant, and as such, the team will do more feasibility studies on this suggestion.

That’s it on the survey.

I wish you a rich and fulfilling 2016.

G e n e r a l M a n a g e r ’ s M e s s a g e

Dear Members,

On behalf of the Management and Staff, I’d like to wish you and your family, a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2016!

Room for improvementA fresh new year always seems to bring with it the hope of an even better year ahead. As your General Manager, it brings me great satisfaction to have witnessed Member engagement soar in 2015. Almost 50,000 more meals were served year-long, representing unprecedented F&B growth at The Tanglin Club. Whilst we often measure engagement as a proxy for satisfaction, it is very important that we take the time to specifically gauge your satisfaction levels to better understand where we can improve. As we enhance the Club, our financial position strengthens, enabling us to better provide you every day good value. I have prepared a summary of recent value enhancements on pages 13-14. Do take a few minutes to review these pages.

At your service Member satisfaction is our top priority. The Team and I are very much committed to doing all that we can to ensure your optimum enjoyment of the Club. As noted in my December message, January sees us reach out to you with a Club-wide, Member satisfaction survey. This tool is a repeat of the inaugural satisfaction survey we issued last year. We will be measuring where we have improved, and where there is need for further improvement. This data then guides the General Committee and Management toward ensuring enhanced outcomes for the Membership and helps us better allocate our resources. So, we very much encourage you to make time to share your thoughts in this very important exercise. The survey is available both in hard copy and online and only takes about 5 minutes of your time.

Win $1,288To incentivise online submissions, those who electronically submit their survey response will be eligible to win $1,288 in F&B dining vouchers, whilst those submitting hard copies will have an opportunity to win $288 in vouchers. For your convenience, we will make available an iPad from Front Desk, to facilitate online participation. Front Desk will also have hard copies available for you.

You will be able to participate in the survey from Monday, 11 January 2016, until Valentine’s Day. The online link will be issued to all those registered for NewsBites, midnight of 11 January.

Join NewsBitesIf you are not registered to receive NewsBites, and wish to register, please email [email protected]. These are very handy updates that make an excellent way to keep current on Club news, promotions, and events. Some Club news, contests and promotions are only published on NewsBites, so it is certainly beneficial to sign up.

Featuring IshikawaFollowing a sensational Spanish promotion in the Churchill Room last month, we now spin the globe to Japan, and feature Ishikawa. Though our sake paired dinner on 7 January instantly sold out, our

Guest Chef Norman Lim will be on hand to deliver Ishikawa Sunday Lunch on 10, 17, and 24 January. He will also prepare a special set dinner in the Churchill Room on dedicated evenings. Please refer to the pages ahead for more details. Month-long, we are also selling gorgeous Ishikawa Yamanaka Lacquerware in the Tea Room. Do make some time to view the displays and plan to join us for the demonstration on the 27th. In the spirit of Japan, you’ll also note various beverage promotions detailed on pages 27-28 for you to enjoy!

Double your happinessWine lovers, come ’wine down’ at the Tea Room during its inaugural ‘Double Happiness Happy Hour’. Daily, from 6.00pm to 8.00pm, you can enjoy 1-for-1 Wynns Coonawarra Estate, Riesling or Cabernet Shiraz, for only $8.95. Our cheese and charcuterie boards will also be available to complement the wine, so gather your friends and join us.

Jumbo DoublesWhilst on the subject of double, I’d like to draw your attention to the Club’s 17th International Jumbo Doubles Squash Tournament on page 45. It’s one of the most exciting events of the Sports & Recreation calendar.

Tang Yun’s Grand OpeningAnd on a final note, I join the President, and encourage all of you to join us Saturday 30, January at 11.00am for our Chinese Restaurant’s Grand Opening. The Lion Dance will kick off the festivities with a bang, precisely at 11.28am. See you there!

Warmly

CHINESE NEW YEAR OPERATING HOURS

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LBBS? CONTINUING THE TANGLIN LEGACY

Under the new Limited Buy Back Scheme (LBBS), Members can sell their Membership to the Club for half the prevailing $50,000 entrance fee, which means that the Seller will receive $25,000 in the sale transaction. Any Ordinary or Life Member of the Club can register as a Seller and tender his membership for buy back as long as his or her monthly subscriptions have been fully paid for the preceding six months, and continue to be paid until the Club confirms completion of the sale to the new Member.

A parent Member can also transfer his Membership to his or her child, provided the child is at least aged 25 and on the Waiting List as of 18 May 2015. However, the parent Member will have to forgo the $25,000 Seller’s fee and the child still pays the full $50,000 prevailing entrance fee.

If you are interested to sign up for the LBBS, do fill up the form available at the Front Office or contact the Membership Department, Ms Darshani, at [email protected].

DOING OUR PART FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: TURN OFF YOUR IDLING ENGINE

In support of the National Environment Agency’s (NEA) initiative, we urge all motorists to switch off their vehicle engines when they are stationary in the Club premises. This is to avoid air pollution, noise and fuel wastage.

Under the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations Section 21, it is an offence to leave the vehicle engine idling when stationary, for reasons other than traffic conditions.

INTRODUCING

We are pleased to inform you that we have selected the name of our new Chinese Restaurant – “騰雲” (“Tang Yun”).

The Chinese character “騰” means “to soar, or to rise”, while the Chinese character “雲” is the word for “cloud”.

Based on the 145 entries from our recent Contest, we shortlisted two entries and finalised the name as a merger of these two suggestions. The name (“Tang” in Cantonese, and “Yun” in Mandarin) is a worldplay on our Club’s name, and apt as the restaurant will be serving Cantonese cuisine.

Congratulations to Dr Koh Ho Peng and Datuk Tan Kok Hiang! Dr Koh’s reason for the name is that this is the place where you can enjoy and feel you are on cloud nine. Datuk Tan commented that it’s got ‘Tang’ as short for ‘Tanglin’ and this is the place where families can gather for a meal.

A big thank you to all Members for your participation and wonderful support.

THE TANGLIN CLUB’S FEATURE IN THE STRAITS TIMES ON 16 DECEMBER 2015

We are pleased to inform Members that The Tanglin Club was featured in The Straits Times on 16 December 2015.

On Monday, 14 December 2015, our General Committee Members gathered for the planting of a Saraca tree at the poolside area, to mark our 150th anniversary. The tree, similar to the one planted 25 years ago by then club president George Sandosham, marks a significant period of growth and prosperity both at the Club and in Singapore.

M e m b e r N e w s • Q u o t e d & N o t e d

"Congrats on the excellent job you are doing at the Club. Regarding Tangles, it's a nice spot but a bit dreary. Is it possible to change the lighting and the colour scheme, and perhaps put in some lively music befitting a sports bar? I think it will make a big difference."

Many thanks for your email and kind words. With regards to Tangles, as per the Special General Meeting (SGM) in March 2015, Tangles is due for some renovation works. It is unclear at this time precisely what it will entail, but we suspect by June, that we should have a refreshed look. Tangles is the final piece to the Chinese Restaurant, Function Room, Admin Office, Business Centre, Tangles project for $2.5M. We will note your feedback for the design team’s consideration.

"We celebrated our son's marriage solemnisation at the Club and would like to express our thanks and deep appreciation to Mugu and Jeffrey for all their efforts in making our special day most memorable.

Mugu was very patient and accommodating in planning the lunch menu. Our guests enjoyed the meal tremendously and so did we. We also applaud Mugu's and Jeffrey's meticulous and excellent efforts in decorating the room for this happy occasion. All of us were wowed by the beautiful and dignified yet festive look of the table setting from the gold tablecloth, mirror pieces on the table and the lovely crockery and cutlery. The lit up Christmas tree was a sight to behold! We and our guests had a great time and many "kodak" moments to remember this wonderful day."

We are absolutely delighted that Mugu and Jeffrey were able to make your son’s marriage solemnisation memorable. It is very heartening that you have taken the time to let us know. Thank you.

"The ladies restroom is always clean thanks to the lovely cleaning aunties, but perhaps a welcome addition to each individual cubicle would be the toilet seat foam cleaner dispensers. Some Members leave the toilets in a real state."

Consider it done! We will implement a trial of this product.

"Just a note to thank the Team for your help with the revised menu for my annual dinner. The food was fine and everyone appreciated it, particularly the roast turkey and the Christmas pudding. Everything was well organised as usual and the service was up to its usual high standard. We all had a lovely evening. Incidentally, the Christmas decorations are beautiful this year, and contributed to the festive atmosphere. Thank you again for your help."

Yes, indeed; the Team did a lovely job with the Christmas décor this year. Thank you for noticing. We’re delighted that you once again supported the Club by hosting your holiday party with us and hope you’ll be back again next year.

"I was privileged to take part in the 50km Spinning Bike Challenge at the Gymnasium on Saturday, 14 November. Like many of the Club’s events, this event was also well organised. This was largely due to the efforts put in by Aziz beforehand. In addition, Aziz went out of his way to help me prepare for the Challenge by measuring me for the Spinning Bike and also by giving me tips on how to approach it. Although I have personally thanked Aziz for "going the extra mile", I think it’s only right and proper that I bring his fine efforts to your attention. It is people like Aziz who make the Club what it is today."

Hear Hear! Thank you for making the time to commend Aziz. We’re lucky to have him, his expertise and his boundless energy! You will see Aziz has loads more planned to keep you spinning on page 31!

"For the last couple of months, I have not been receiving The Tanglin Club magazine. When I enquired with Kumar at the Front Desk to get an additional copy, he said they were all out. I wonder why the delivery is so erratic. Is the Club relying on SingPost?"

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We will investigate to ensure gaps are filled as soon as possible. Yes, we do use SingPost for the mailing of our magazines. We also encourage Members to refer to our digital version available on the Club website, and enrol to receive our twice weekly NewsBites e-newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed to our NewsBites and would like to do so, please let us know via email at [email protected].

Riedel Wine Glass Tasting by Georg J Riedel

Hallow’green Club Party

"This is rather a long time coming, but we wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed a great night at the Club on ‘Hallow’green'. A lot of work obviously went into it, and everything went so well, from the décor, to music, and of course, food and drink. A special mention must be made of the staff who were marvellous throughout. Even through the late-night World Cup rugby viewing at the Wet Bar and Verandah, the staff didn’t flag! Although we had seats in the Tavern, where we had a great time, we especially loved the way the poolside had been decorated, and were only sorry that the band down there, which was excellent, was a bit under-appreciated. There seemed to be nobody left in the Wheelhouse to enjoy them, but we went down to give show our appreciation. All in all, it was a most enjoyable evening, so many thanks to you and your staff."

The Team had a blast at Hallow’green too. It makes for a nice change for us as well. Almost 800 Members and guests joined us and the reviews were really encouraging. We’ll be planning for more fun in 2016. Keep your eye on our upcoming events.

"The ‘Riedel Wine Glass Tasting by Georg J Riedel’ event was a fascinating, informative, educational and sensual experience. A presentation any oenophile should attend. The tapas were a nice stylish conclusion to the event. We will be updating our Riedel collection! The black draping to the tables and chairs were very elegant and appropriate. The room looked very impressive and serious on entry.

In addition, the Club Party was stylish, fun and appropriate to the 150th Club Anniversary. Congratulations and thank you for all the effort you put in."

Thank you for your kind words and support. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed our events. Please stay tuned for our upcoming events in 2016.

"Compliments to the Team! Lately we've noticed some great improvements made to the Club. Even the small details, such as the music at the Wet Bar, which has created a nicer atmosphere at the space."

We are happy to know that you like the improvements. The team is continually working on making things better so Members can enjoy the facilities and services that we offer here.

TANGLESYear-long, we have been offering a daily ‘Express Lunch Buffet’ inclusive of soup, salads, mains, desserts, coffee/tea, and GST for $13.50. It’s no surprise that patronage has more than doubled at Tangles. If you haven’t yet taken advantage of this terrific value, do drop by Tangles soon. Our culinary team whips up a different theme each day of the week from Thai to Indian, to local eats and Tanglin favourites like Oxtail Stew.

CHURCHILL ROOMAs we turned 150th, in honour of our founding year, 1865, our crew re-introduced the ‘Churchill Executive Lunch Buffet’ at $18.65, with a gorgeous array of antipasti and salads, inclusive of soup, desserts, coffee/tea, and GST. For six weeks we ran our Señor Churchill promotion and we are pleased to report that during this promotion, Churchill saw numerous sell-outs! Come January, we spin the globe from Spain to Japan, with delicious products from Ishikawa. Do plan to join us!

TEA ROOMAlthough the Tea Room had a lovely menu, prices were simply unattractive, with a corresponding low level of uptake. So we took all of our delicious wraps and sandwiches and reduced them to $9.80, from prices previously as high as $16.90. We reduced our ‘Scones Tea Set for 2’ from $13 to $6.80 and our ‘Full Tea Set for 2’, from $26 to $19.80. As a result, you may have noticed that patronage has noticeably increased. Next month, you’ll want to swing by for our ‘Double Happiness Happy Hour’ when we feature two glasses of Wynns Coonawarra Estate wine for $8.95! That’s definitely something to toast to!

TAVERN/FIREPLACELoads of value-engineering has taken place at the Tavern and Fireplace. Previously, a single serve of soup and salad was $20.30, but we subsequently made the salad bar free-flow, added desserts and dropped the price by $5.50 to a mere $14.80. In honour of our founding year,

for $18.65, we created a ‘Tze Char Set’ which includes soup, two dishes and rice which naturally has proven very popular. Our Steamed Cod Fish was reduced from $25.30 to $20.95. Baby Kai Lan was reduced from $6.90 to $4.75, and even our Charcuteria was reduced from $22 to $18.95.

Prices for our Tanglin Classics were very much overhauled. Bangers and Mash, previously $16.80, is now $12.80. Shepherd’s Pie used to be priced at $15.60 and was recently dropped to $12.80 as well. Steak & Kidney Pie decreased too; it was previously $16.90 and now $14.80. Our Burger was reduced from $14.55 to $11.80, whilst the Rack of Lamb saw a reduction from $35.85 to $28.80. We also upgraded our Fish & Chips. Dory was replaced by Snapper which costs four times as much, per kilo, plus we added more fries and reduced the price to $12.95. We’ve made all these great value enhancements, and we’re pleased to say that this list isn’t even exhaustive. There are lots of other better prices to enjoy.

EVERY DAY GOOD VALUE

It’s been an incredible year. With one month remaining in this financial year, we have already served about 50,000 more meals than in the prior year for the corresponding period. We are delighted to have your growing support and engagement. With bolstered patronage, our financial position is strengthened by helping us cover our fixed costs, and therefore, it enables us to find ways to create more every day good value for you and your family. We hope you have already noticed the positive shifts, but if not, the following is a summary of some of the key value enhancements that the F&B Team has made for you as a way of saying thank you for your growing support!

SWEET TREATSSweet September saw diners in the Wheelhouse enjoy complimentary desserts and October selected desserts for $1.50, and come January, Members can enjoy permanent reductions in the desserts section. As examples, Cherries Jubilee and Crepe Suzette were $9.80 and both dropped to $7.95, and our Cheese Board from $11.80 to $10.80. The nightly Tea Room sell-off of baked goods has been permanently increased from 30% off to 50%.

BOTTOMS UPFor those who enjoy a tipple, you’ll have noticed that we made Monday’s corkage free, Tiger Tuesdays for 1-for-1 draught, Whiskey Wednesdays, monthly 1-4-1 whiskey promotions, and the Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label NV was decreased from $106.50 to $78.00 – deals not to be missed. And to ensure bubbles that won’t burst your budget, we negotiated a new Prosecco deal and are pleased to now serve Bottega Prosecco NV for only $42.95 per bottle, or $8.95 a glass. Now, in January, we introduce whisky by the bottle at great prices and we'll store it for you at the Wet Bar. However, if tea is more your speed, you will be pleased to know that Club-wide, we enhance our tea to TWG and though it costs more, the same low price of $3 for tea, has been retained.

MUSIC TO YOUR EARSYou may have also noticed that we have found more occasions for musicians to liven up the mood at the Club. Be it our Señor Churchill’s strollers, to our duets in the Tea Room, to fabulous choirs, be them all the way from England to our very own Tanglin Choir, to a club-full of live bands at Hallow’green, we hope we have delivered tunes to suit all preferences. We also lightly play piped music in the Lobby and the Tea Room and recently enhanced the sound at the Wet Bar.

WHEELHOUSESome of you may be wondering why value enhancements haven’t focused on the Wheelhouse. Whilst we did change the soup and salad bar to a free-flow format, you may be interested to note that approximately half of the 550,000 meals served a year at the Club are enjoyed at the Wheelhouse. Its prices are made attractive by a subsidy investment by the Club of approximately $500,000. With this subsidy, you are enjoying terrific value every day.

TANG YUNAnd the best saved till last – Tanglin finally opens its doors to Tang Yun, our first Cantonese restaurant in our 150 year history, just in time to usher in the Year of the Monkey. The soft opening is 2 January, and for the first three weeks, we will be offering a 50% discount to diners wishing to help us prepare for our grand opening. Seats are restricted, and grow weekly from 38 pax, to 68, and finally, in the 3rd week, to 80 pax. Do plan to join us for the grand opening on Saturday, 30 January, at 11.00am. The Lion Dance will begin at 11.28am, followed by a ribbon cutting and a complimentary feast for all to enjoy!

Granted all the extra patronage and support has strained our service levels, we do sincerely apologise if at times we have let you down. Do let us know where you feel there is room for improvement. With your feedback, we will endeavour to serve you and your families even better in 2016.

YAMANAKA LACQUERWARE DEMONSTRATION Join us for a Yamanaka Lacquerware demonstration by craftsman, Mr Okada, who is the director of Okada-ya Shiki. Besides an introduction to Yamanaka Lacquerware, look forward to a traditional gold leaf (gold foil) pasting demonstration.

Wednesday, 27 January3.30pm to 5.00pmFireplaceMember/Guest: $5Light bites and green tea will be providedMaximum of 30 participants only

OWN A PIECE OF TRADITION TODAYYAMANAKA LACQUERWARE MERCHANDISE SALE– EXCLUSIVE PRICES FOR MEMBERSFor a span of 400 years, Ishikawa was ruled by some of the most talented samurais who summoned highly skilled craftsmen from all over Japan, turning Ishikawa Prefecture into a region that fostered cultural development. Between 1570 and 1592, Japanese craftsmen who had moved to the Ishikawa Prefecture first developed Yamanaka Lacquerware.

Till today, the Ishikawa Prefecture boasts of being the area with the highest output of lacquerware in Japan. One of its specialties lies in its special Japanese technique of carving the wooden frame (kiji) of the object that is to be lacquered. This technique allows objects to be finished with the beautiful wavy design of the wood’s grain.

This 7 to 27 January, we will be displaying the intricate Yamanaka Lacquerware in the glass cabinets facing the Tea Room. From uniquely handcrafted iPhone cases, fountain pens, mouse pads, ornament plates, to sake ceremony sets, there is something for everyone.

If you are interested to purchase an item, please let our staff at the Tea Room know.

BOOK OF THE MONTH: NEMESISThe next high-octane thriller in the FBI series featuring Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock from # 1 New York Times–bestselling author Catherine Coulter.

When Special Agent Lacey Sherlock foils a terrorist attack at JFK airport, she thinks her job is done and turns the reins over to the New York FBI. But stopping the grenade-carrying crazy was only the beginning. Another plot unfolds nearly simultaneously with a bomb at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The terrorist at JFK refuses to speak to anyone but Sherlock. She heads back with counterterrorist Special Agent Cal McLain to try to get him to talk.

Meanwhile, Savich—with the help of Agent Griffin Hammersmith—has his hands full trying to track an elusive murderer who looks like a Hollywood Dracula. When Dracula’s attempts to kill Savich collide with Sherlock’s terrorist case, very strange things happen.

Who is really behind the bombing attack at St. Patrick’s? How does Savich’s mysterious killer fit into Sherlock’s terrorism investigation? Savich and Sherlock race against the clock, as more lives are in danger with every passing minute.

Research shows that children’s early reading achievement scores are strong predictors of later language proficiency and academic achievement scores. Children, apart from being instructed on how to read, should also be inducted into leisure reading as early as possible so that they develop into proficient and avid readers. In view of this, this awareness talk aims to provide parents with information on important milestones in reading among young children so that their ability to acquire age appropriate reading skills are maximised. In addition, information will be provided on quality children’s literature and how to nurture in children a love for reading at a young age so that they become lifelong readers.

About the SpeakerDr Chitra Shegar was an Assistant Professor at the English Language and Literature Department of National Institute of Education (NIE) Singapore from 2004 to 2015. Her areas of specialisation are Language Acquisition, Children’s Literature and Literacy instruction.

Currently, she is the Director of Reading Edge Academy Pte Ltd and advises several Singapore educational institutions on reading projects.

November is that time of the year when we look forward to bouncing back from being dazed, abused and amused over the years in the annual Staff vs Section game. While we have sworn Revenge (full battle cry please!), the Staff have looked at us in a bemused fashion, and then gone ahead to put us in our place. This year they were kinder, in that they beat us by just over 200 points. As a comparison, some of the previous beatings had left us groaning in absolute despair and asking 3 questions: "How? Why? Again?"

After a bit of a repast, a huge thank you to the Staff for their much appreciated work from Convenor Rick Bryant, 24 players sat down to do battle. Staff beat the Players in most of the areas and took kindly to limiting their overall lead. The who's who of the winners are Aru for the highest total score, Mary Lee for the highest game score, and Devraj and Raj as the highest scoring pair. Sudin, Clara Tan, Hendry Goh and James Soh sewed up the other prizes on offer too. Our thanks to Club President Robert Weiner for gracing the occasion, and our heartfelt thanks to all the Staff who could make it to another memorable game.

We went in to the final game of the year with 4 players in the running for the Championship and the Balut Max trophy. With a "Tally Ho!" from Rick we were off and running. From the noise and rubble, Sethuraman trickled over the line to take the Champions trophy with a best of 6 games score of 3,652, Mavis Light as runner-up a scant 11 points behind and Bansi Sethuraman bagging the 2nd runner up 20 points adrift. Anthony Rawilson's cameo appearance and 694 points total score got him that prize; Grace Goh slammed a 152 game high in the final session and took that prize. The pairs trophy was won by Lilian Lee and Mavis, and Nina Menon took home the prize for the being the highest scorer in the Inter-Club games. The Balut Max trophy, donated by Fatema Sadiq, was won in its inaugural by Mavis. Well done Mavis on fighting off all comers for the big one!

The assembled then filed into The Fireplace, and after a short speech of "Have Fun!" from Rick, we tucked in, slurped and supped to a very necessary and well deserved merry evening. Balut, as you know, can be exhausting.

Happy New Year 2016 to one and all! Here’s wishing everyone a fabulous New Year ahead!

2015 ended with a number of highlights with our Annual Christmas Snooker Marathon being held on 5 December 2015 followed by a sumptuous Dinner. Photos to follow in next issue! Our usual section fund night in November ended up with confirmation that we now have very serious contenders for the top spots in the Billiards Section with Tom Chamberlain coming up tops as the undisputed winner for the night and eagerly sending challenges to the likes of Arshad Bhojani and Cheung Yew Tak who were conspicuously absent!

A major highlight at the end of the year was the Ewing Cup played against the Singapore Cricket Club. The Tanglin Club put up a formidable team and an incredible fight, but the Singapore Cricket Club, fresh from their year-long training with World Champion Peter Gilchrist, gave us a fight that we could not win. Thankfully, there was enough whiskey and laughter all round to make the afternoon simply a really enjoyable one! Thank you to our amazing team for playing that day – all deserving honourable mentions: Yew Tak, Hugh, Davin, Neville, KK Chong, Zhi Cheng, Adrian and Alex.

Please do check with the S&R Counter for upcoming matches and events – we look forward to seeing more non-section members at the tables!

Once again, our Christmas Bridge event was completely SOLD OUT with an overwhelming response of close to eighty Members and guests.

As the players streamed into the Raffles Room, beaming approvingly of the festive decorations, each was greeted with a glass of Proscecco or juice with soda. Ladies came appropriately attired in Christmassy colours of red, green or white, lending a joyous cheer to the whole occasion.

Lunch commenced a little after twelve noon and the two rows of sumptuous spread with two carving stations certainly made the traffic flow seem rather smooth. The traditional ham and turkey with the yummy Christmas pudding, mince pies and apple strudel again scored top marks.

During the short break, the winners of the annual Club Championships were announced.

Overall Club Champion: Rohini AryaPairs Championships: Dora Tan & Lata Iyer

Players then took their positions in the two sections, efficiently organized for easy movement and running of the game.

The winners of the afternoon were:

It was a delightful afternoon of good food, festive cheer and fellowship, and thanks to all for making the event so successful.

OVERALL CLUB CHAMPIONThis was based on the percentage of the best 50 games played throughout the year and the winner for 2015 was Rohini Arya.

Congratulations and well done, Rohini.

PAIRS CHAMPIONSHIPSSaturday, 21 November 2015

As we had only 5 tables, it was decided to have just one session for this event. Play started at 10am and the tournament was over by 1pm. Players then adjourned to The Tavern for an enjoyable lunch.

The winners were: Dora Tan and Lata Iyer

Congratulations to the winners and we would certainly encourage more Members to participate in this event next year.

A TREE LIGHTING EVENT TO REMEMBER! Whilst writing this article on behalf of the Choir Section, I am still on a "high" from our Tanglin Club 2015 Tree Lighting Event. It has to be the best I have ever experienced. From the Choir's holding area at the Raffles Room, we could monitor crowd presence. From 5.30pm, the lobby was filling up fast and the excitement was palpable. By 6.30pm, the place was packed full of grownups and children standing shoulder to shoulder with hardly any room to move. The Tanglin Club Choir (24 of us) was augmented by The Schola Cantorum Singapore to make up a total of more than 40 strong.

With the men in their black and white outfits and Santa hats, and the ladies glammed up in black with red accessories, we made an impressive appearance along the full length of the staircase. Against the backdrop of dimmed lights and the view of a sea of faces surrounding the splendour of a magnificent Christmas tree, the Choir sang Star Carol, followed by a sing-a-long for Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bell Rock, Joy to the World and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The adults and children swayed to the rhythm of the music and sang along with us. For the Choristers, it was an evening to remember and cherish.

The big applause from the crowd, with some wolf whistles thrown in, was testament that everyone enjoyed listening to us and that both young and old were having a good time. Our General Manager, Josie Tulipano, summed it up for us in a lovely way by simply saying "The Choir embraced the Audience".

The Tanglin Club Choristers would like to express our appreciation and thanks to Albert Tay (Choir Director), Chong Lee Khim (Pianist), The Schola Cantorum Singapore, and The Tanglin Club staff involved (F&B, Events, and Technical teams), who extended us their services so willingly. Without you, we would not have shone so brightly.

The sing-along of Christmas carols, led by the Dance Section Choir and Musicians followed. Dance Thrilogy, with young dancers who were the Singapore finalists in Asia’s Got Talent, presented 3 dance items of jazz, ballet and tap. The event with 139 participants was a sold out affair and maintained the Dance Section’s record of 4 fully booked events for the year. To many Members, It was a memorable finish to the Club’s 150th Anniversary.

Events Executive Anqi will now be taking over the administration for the Dance Section. In appreciation of her past service, the Dance Sub-committee Members presented Sports & Recreation Co-ordinator Uma with a token of appreciation.

The year 2015 was a successful one for the Darts Section. It is with much pride that we declare that our membership presently stands at an encouraging number of almost 90 Members!

DARTS AND THE YEAR 2015

We have had a full calendar of events of games as well as social gatherings beginning with the Darts Lo Hei early in February 2015. The Sixth Annual Darts Championship was held in July followed by the Members vs Staff Friendly Match in August. Then the Inter Club Darts Leagues 2015 graced our darts calendar. It was indeed a challenge when we had to play with the highly skilled players of the league. Many enthusiastic Darts Members were present to support and watch the brilliant darts match.

The annual POT event in September at the Singapore Cricket Club brought about much fun and hype. It was an exciting afternoon followed by a wonderful evening dinner reception.

We look forward to more exciting encounters with the newly formed Darts Ladies Team.

Year 2015 was filled with rewarding and interactive games, and we continue to expand our membership through social events.

All Darts Members make it a date on the second Saturday of every month to enjoy a truly wonderful social gathering at the Tangles. It is free of charge for all Darts Members.

COURSES VISITED ON THE TRIP - MAE JO GOLF RESORT & SPA - CHIANG MAI - THAILAND, ALPINE GOLF RESORT - CHIANG MAI, CHIANGMAI HIGHLANDS GOLF COURSE AND ROYAL CHIANGMAI GOLF RESORT

GOLF SECTION OUTING TO CHIANG MAI

It was an early start at the airport on 5 November for the 15 participants keen to escape the haze and enjoy slightly cooler climes and blue skies in Chiang Mai. We had no sooner arrived than we were on the first tee of the Mae Jo golf resort. Despite the lightning-fast greens, everyone agreed it was a very pleasant course, but the next day, we were even more impressed by the Alpine Chiang Mai, set amidst beautiful scenery. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we turned up on day 3 at the Chiang Mai Highlands Resort, which was awesome, and then on the last day, we reverted to an older course, Royal Chiangmai, to facilitate transfer to the airport for our flight back home. All the courses were in excellent condition and it was such a privilege to be able to play on such beautiful courses in such a stunning location.

There were novelty competitions every day as well as overall prizes for the best scores over the 4 days, so most of the golfers won a prize at some stage of the outing. However, Anthony Teo and Nancy Miller were crowned King and Queen of the tournament, with Paul Gelardi and Jean Murdoch as first runners-up. Well done to all of them!

Apart from golf, we had a great time sampling Thai food, enjoying a well-earned post-golf massage or two, and the ladies especially appreciated the fact that our hotel was right in the middle of the main street with nightly market stalls.

All in all, it was a really successful trip and many thanks to Alex Eow for all his hard work in organising the goody bags, flights and competitions.

The Annual Squash Club Championship Finals was held on 7 November 2015. The afternoon proved to be one filled with edge of seat excitement peppered with a couple of upsets but nonetheless one filled with good camaraderie and plenty of beer!

In the Veteran Category Plate Finals, we had a somewhat dubious pair of Phil Rossiter and Don Hanna going head to head literally – with all the challenges on the let/stroke calls! You could say that Phil ultimately won both the verbal and physical challenge of the match! Well done Phil!

In the Veteran Category Main Finals, we saw a very fit Al Aspen go up against a somewhat weathered but still formidable Darcy McColl. However, this time age did not prevail against beauty and the somewhat youthful Al Aspen forged ahead to win the match. Great win Al! The Open Plate Final was down to Tony Faneco and David Palmer. David took every advantage of the fact that Tony was just being Tony and played a great game giving himself a well-deserved victory! Good job David! The Main Open Final looked set to be a historic match from the very beginning. It was down to seven-time champion Shane Hagan versus a very determined Marc Nicholson. The match went into a couple of tie-breakers with the final match played like almost a death match with a winner take all mentality. Suffice to say, the match could have gone either way, but Marc played an almost flawless game to win the day. Congratulations Marc! Thank you everyone for your participation in making this year’s championship a well-remembered one. Honourable mentions go to our returning squashers like Henry Mullen and we must not forget the stalwarts like Bill Gartshore and Steve Wright. Richard Hill also deserves a mention for being ever so photogenic! Congratulations again to all our winners and see you all again at 2016’s championships!

STA INTERCLUB LADIES DOUBLES BThe STA Interclub Ladies Doubles B this year had nine teams participating in the round robin tournament. We played eight matches over the weekends through September and October. The competition was strong and intense for the three line format. We battled through the hazy conditions for the majority of the matches. The results were tallied and we finished as the runner up with two points behind the dominant winning team. An overall successful result for our Tanglin Ladies STA Interclub doubles team this year.

Kudos to Bianca Choy who played many of the decider matches and won three crucial matches with her partners.

Thank you to The Tanglin Club for its support and to Lilian Lum our Ladies Tennis Captain for her skilful team management.

JUNIOR TENNIS NEWSThe haze went away and the little children came out to play!

TANGLIN CLUB JUNIOR TOURNAMENT SERIES #4The final junior tournament for 2015 was held on 13 & 14 November. It was a great event showcasing some quality tennis. In addition, it was very nice to see some new faces. After a brief rain delay on Friday, the kids were busy non-stop with round robin play across a series of singles events.

FRIENDLY WITH SWISS CLUBOn 22 November, the juniors from The Tanglin Club hosted a team from the Swiss Club for a Sunday junior friendly match. Players competed in singles and doubles matches in 10’s and 12’s age categories. It was great to see the kids enjoying tennis and forging new friendships.

Many thanks to Pierre and Ken of 40XV who put in an incredible amount of effort to make the event a successful one. The team t-shirts (in Club colours, no less!) that were sponsored by 40XV was a really nice surprise. A big thank you also goes out to the Club’s Sports & Recreation Executive, Cielito, who works really hard behind the scene to ensure that the Club’s events run smoothly.

OUR JUNIOR MAKING NEWSCongratulations to Clare Cheng, who was a part of Team Singapore at the Southeast Asian Junior Tournament (28 October to 1 November). The team secured a Silver for Singapore in the 12/U category. Clare, who is a regular participant in the Club junior tournaments, is a great inspiration for the other kids.

FOOD SAFETY FOR SERVICE STAFFFood safety is one of the most important concerns in the food industry. Staff play a crucial role in ensuring food safety at the Club; as such, the Club recently extended food safety training to all service staff so that they will acquire uniform skills and knowledge in basic food safety and hygiene. This Food Safety Workshop has helped the team to identify the characteristics of microorganisms, food hygiene, proper food storage and food handling, setting hygiene standards, as well as cleaning and sanitation. On top of this workshop, all of our kitchen staff attended a food hygiene certifiable programme, so that we can serve you better.

EXCELLENT SERVICE AWARD WINNERS 2015The Excellent Service Award (EXSA) is a national-level award that recognises individuals who have delivered high quality service.

In 2015, we had a total of 36 staff being recognised as service champions. We are extremely proud of Mukhantan S/O Perumal – or better known as Mugu (Catering Sales Executive) – who was awarded the Star Award. He is indeed an individual who continues to strive to be better each year. He was a recipient of the EXSA Silver and Gold Award in the past 2 years as well. Congratulations to Mugu and the other well-deserved 9 recipients of the Gold Award and 26 recipients of the Silver Award.

Well done, The Tanglin Club Team!

COMMUNITY EMERGENCY

PREPAREDNESS PROGRAMME (CEPP)

To heighten our security and safety, The Tanglin Club staff attended a Community Emergency Preparedness Programme (CEPP) conducted by the Singapore Civil Defence Force on 3 December 2015. The programme provided both theory and practical training comprising fire safety, casualty evacuation, emergency procedures and terrorism. Readiness is our only protection. This programme has certainly raised awareness of the current safety issues within and outside Singapore, and has instilled a greater sense of ownership among the staff.
