Dear Fellow Members 39th Annual POT Games Tradition is the hallmark of our Club and I am personally delighted to see that we have upheld this important tradition with the Singapore Cricket Club for 39 years and counting. The POT Games is an annual competition with the Singapore Cricket Club, across various sport and recreational areas. Every two years we play host, and this year, we’re delighted to have everyone back at The Tanglin Club, Saturday, 1 October, for the Dinner and Prize Presentation, in the Churchill Room. I wish all our competitors the very best of luck and look forward to seeing you at the Dinner. Half-Time Our Treasurer, Mr Zoeb Sadiq, has included his report on the Club’s financial health in our magazine on pages 3 & 4. I encourage you to take a few moments to apprise yourself of the salient financial points. Guest Room Update With the recent re-openings of the Library, Hair Salon and Tangles, we now turn our attention to the new guest rooms, approved by Membership at the recent Annual General Meeting. As you may have ‘heard’ by now, demolition of the former Spa on the 5th floor of the Sports Complex began mid-September. There is quite a bit of hacking required and unfortunately the noise is unavoidable. We thank you for your patience and understanding. If all proceeds to plan, the rooms should be available for use by April. We shall certainly keep you posted. Blanc Party Mark your social calendar for 15 October and be sure to join us for the party of the year. Although the Churchill Room has sold out, spaces are available at the other venues. Please note the details located to the left of my message. With free-flow drinks, live music by Shaggies and Stephen Francis & Friends, and a buffet feast, the Member price of $49.95 presents sensational value. Annually we offer this party at a subsidised price, as a way to bring together our Tanglin Community. I encourage you to gather your mates, and join us! This is a great way to get to meet fellow Members. Project Update We are also actively progressing a new and long overdue rolling, planned maintenance programme for our aging Clubhouse and the business centre plans are currently being crystallised. We shall update you on these projects, the Cinema, and the Club Development Task Force in the November magazine. Annual Tree Lighting Save the date for our Christmas Tree Lighting on 27 November, the highlight of our annual calendar. It is an age-old tradition of the Club and great for both the young and old. We will have our very own Tanglin Club Choir grace the event with Christmas carols, and light refreshments for Members to enjoy. I hope to see you and your family there. Sprucing Up As shared in earlier communications, we are in the midst of giving the Clubhouse a much needed fresh coat of paint. Until approximately mid-November, the Sports Complex will be receiving attention. During this time, there will be some reduction in our open space parking. The Sports Complex Car Park will be painted from 3 October until 11 November, whilst the Linkbridge will be painted between 24 October and 4 November. The Main Clubhouse Car Park will commence late October and continue until mid-January 2017. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but I am sure you will agree that this is an important undertaking. Convenor Highlights As previously shared, in the coming months, you will be hearing from the Convenors, in turn. They will be sharing with you highlights from their portfolio. This update will replace the Editor’s Message and in so doing, will provide more comprehensive communication to you. And on a final note, I’d like to wish our Hindu Members, Happy Deepavali! Sincerely Robert Wiener President THE TANGLIN CLUB PAGE 2 Half-year Treasurer's Report A Surplus of $85K vs Budget Deficit of $500K The Club’s financial performance for the six-month period from 1 February to 31 July 2016 continued to show a positive trend, albeit at a lower level than the same period last year. The Income & Expenditure Account at Operating level showed a SURPLUS of $85K although the budget had estimated a deficit of over $500K. The cash flow and the net assets of the Club remained similar, providing comfort of a solid Balance Sheet. However, the Club is anticipated to face headwinds with growing staffing costs and a plateauing of F&B revenue. The General Committee (GC) and Management are conscious of these areas and are taking proactive steps to address them. A brief analysis of the Club’s financial performance based on the unaudited management accounts follows: Revenue Growth Sustained REVENUE Total Operating Revenue for the six months was $12.6 million (Budget: $13.0m / LY: $12.0m). There was an increase in revenue over last year by $600K, but it was slightly lower than the budget, primarily due to fewer F&B covers served and the closure of Tangles since April 2016 (Tangles resumed operations on selfserve café modus on 18 August 2016). OPERATING EXPENDITURE Operating Costs have kept rising relentlessly. This was especially so in respect of staff cost which rose to $6.6m for six months an increase of $580K or 10% over last year. Management, in anticipation of a rising cost trends, budgeted staff cost at $7.0m for the period, but under the GC’s direction to maintain a firm cap on staffing cost, the expenditure has been reined in to some extent, thus showing a reduced cost and favourable variance of $360K against budget. • Managed Staff Costs • Savings on Utility Costs • Reduction in F&B Cost On the brighter side, cost savings continue to be achieved in several areas. More significantly, there was a saving on utilities of about $60K over last year and a favourable variance of $130K against budget (Actual: $702K / Budget: $830K / LY: $759K). Also notable Management’s continued efforts resulted in reduction in the overall ratio of F&B cost to 41.8% (Budget: 42.2% / LY: 42.6%), a cost savings of $23K against the budget and $46K over last year. This was achieved by menu engineering and minor price adjustments. OTHER OPERATING INCOME The two streams of income under the above caption are from Membership Entrance Fees and Investment Income. PTM Quota Impacts Entrance Fee Revenue Higher Investment Income & Yield Market Value of Investments Rise by over $840K Cautious Optimism for the Financial Year to End on a Positive Note Entrance fees revenue pales in comparison to last year’s revenue of $5.5m as the Club has now reached Planned Total Member capacity of 4,000 (principal/voting Members). Hence, for the current 6-month period, entrance fees account for only $1.7m, reflecting restricted membership availability as a result of nett attrition. Investment income of $578K was higher by $140K than last year due to increased dividends and interest. The average yield on investments was 3.94% (Budget: 3.5% / LY 2.91%). NET SURPLUS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD TO 31 JULY WAS $333K – A POSITIVE OUTCOME. MEMBERS’ EQUITY Overall, Membership Fund & Reserves as at 31 July 2016 remain at $71.6m, close to that of last year. This comprises of: Property & Fixed Assets: $36.6m Investments at book value: $30.6m (Fair Market Value $31.5m) Net Current Assets: $4.3m The Investments of $30.6m are stated at book value as at 31 July 2016. The fair market valuation of these investments is $31.5m. Since the Club’s policy is only to book realised gains on investments, the fair market value appreciation of $840K is not reflected in the six-month management accounts. Revenue Growth & Cost Savings Achieved Against Budget Utilities Cost Staff Costs Total Operaing Costs Investment Income Other Operating Revenue F & B Revenue Total Operating Revenue 0% 20% Achieved PAGE 3 THE TANGLIN CLUB 40% 60% Growth / Savings 80% 100% 120% FORECAST FOR NEXT SIX MONTHS The main stream of revenue and costs are food and beverage related. Given the challenging environment in which the Club is operating, I am cautiously optimistic the financial year will end on a positive note. The achievement of Net Surplus of $333K against a breakeven budget at the half-year mark provides encouragement to the Management and GC for delivering a sound financial position going forward.

After the success of our 150th anniversary carnival last year, we are bringing back the giant pool inflatable, cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream and more, in honour of our youngest Members, on 8 October. Our Youth Team has also organised various activities on the day which you may wish to partake in. So, mums, dads, grandparents, round up the kids and join us at the Poolside. For more details, please refer to the left-facing page. ‘Grown-ups’ get their turn to celebrate on the 15th! Happy Deepavali Personally, I always look forward to the Little India light-up each year and the festive ‘magic’ that the lights and Deepavali bring with them. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. We can all benefit from some sparkle and en'light'enment. This month, our featured promotions turn in the direction of Deepavali. Whether you choose to enjoy our sumptuous ‘Passage to India” Sunday Lunch spread in the Churchill Room, our Indian cuisine demonstration with Chef Joshi, our Wheelhouse Indian Express Lunch features, or our Deepavali High Tea, I’m sure the Culinary Team will not disappoint. Festive Wine Sale Before you know it, Christmas and the New Year will be here. If you are keen to stock up for the festivities, mark your calendar for the 5th of November, and be sure to join us in the Main Clubhouse Lobby, daylong, for a fabulous wine tasting and fair from Treasury Wine Estates. Our first such sale earlier this year was such an incredible success that we’re bringing you an even better one this November. We are featuring over 75 labels, an opportunity to speak to wine makers, enjoy canapés, taste dozens of wines, and load up your ‘cellar’ at prices, lower than anywhere on the island! Entertaining Made Easy Our Culinary Team is once again rolling out their mouth-watering menu of holiday favourites, available for takeaway. Whether you choose to entertain at home, require a hostess gift, or plan to celebrate the holidays at the Club, we hope to be able to facilitate your entertainment needs. Last month, I shared that we’ve made our collection of wine and spirits available for purchase online. To visit our online bottle shop, please go to www.tanglinclub.org.sg/online-bottle-shop.html. “Lighten Up” With all the festivities ahead, you may wish to kick start or enhance your fitness levels by joining Aziz, and his team for fitness classes or personal training. On page 25, our personal trainers are all featured and together, the Fitness Team offers 45 lessons per week. Not to be missed is our 8-Hour Yoga Retreat & Workshop on 20 October for stress relief and rejuvenation. Mosquito Control Turning toward some housekeeping matters, in view of the recent Zika virus outbreak in Singapore, the Club has doubled up on its fogging efforts. Instead of the usual Monday morning fogging, we are now fogging on both Monday and Friday mornings. In addition, our Facilities and Housekeeping Teams have placed anti-mosquito devices into all gutters and drains, and arranged to have all dry leaf areas checked and stagnant water removed, if any. Contact Details We have been asked by the General Committee to tighten the Clubhouse to ensure greater exclusivity and safety. As we make such improvements, please be sure to update your particulars and your "THE TANGLIN TEAM STRIVES TO CONTINUALLY RAISE THE BAR AND YOUR FEEDBACK HELPS TO GUIDE US TO THAT END." family’s so as to continue to enjoy seamless access in the Club. It is helpful if you advise the Membership Department of changes to your email address, telephone/mobile numbers, mailing address, marital status, children details, IU number, etc. As we improve on the car park IU access to prevent unauthorised entry into the Club, please ensure your car registration is correct and current.

THE TANGLIN CLUB PAGE 22 Books Section NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH: COMETH THE HOUR by Jeffrey Archer Cometh the Hour opens with the reading of a suicide note, which has devastating consequences for Harry and Emma Clifton, Giles Barrington and Lady Virginia. Giles must decide if he should withdraw from politics and try to rescue Karin, the woman he loves, from behind the Iron Curtain. But is Karin truly in love with him, or is she a spy? Lady Virginia is facing bankruptcy, and can see no way out of her financial problems, until she is introduced to the hapless Cyrus T. Grant III from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who's in England to see his horse run at Royal Ascot. Sebastian Clifton is now the Chief Executive of Farthings Bank and a workaholic, whose personal life is thrown into disarray when he falls for Priya, a beautiful Indian girl. But her parents have already chosen the man she is going to marry. Meanwhile, Sebastian's rivals Adrian Sloane and Desmond Mellor are still plotting to bring him and his chairman Hakim Bishara down, so they can take over Farthings. Harry Clifton remains determined to get Anatoly Babakov released from a gulag in Siberia, following the international success of his acclaimed book, Uncle Joe. But then something unexpected happens that none of them could have anticipated. Cometh the Hour is the penultimate book in the Clifton Chronicles and, like the five previous novels – all of which hit the New York Times bestseller list – showcases Jeffrey Archer's extraordinary storytelling with his trademark twists.

THE TANGLIN CLUB PAGE 26 Balut Section The Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) hosted the 4th round of the 32nd Inter-Club Balut competition in August, and SCC is known to put on an excellent spread and generally be very good hosts. This time was no exception, and they decided that hospitality be damned by winning this round of the series. Andrew Goh from the Singapore Recreation Club took the honours for the highest total score, and our own Tanglin Team 3 came in a creditable third. Grace Goh and Susie Tan stocked up their wine collection with spot prize wins. Our monthly game at the Fireplace was attended by 14 Members, who after 6 rounds of thumping the tables, pronounced that the tables are sound and of excellent workmanship! Convenor Sethuraman, bravely fighting off various frogs in his throat and minor irritants in his throat, shook hands with Padmini Panikar for her total score 647 points. She also had the highest game score of 143, but according to the rules, that prize went to the next highest score of 138 recorded by Scribe. Next month we do the 5th round of the Inter-Club, and six of our players head off to Kuching to play in the 2nd Invitational there. More when we know more, so stay tuned. Vikram Raman Balut Section PAGE 27 THE TANGLIN CLUB Billiards Section HUGH AT THE HELM, KUDOS TO ANDREW HIGHLIGHT AUGUST SECTION NIGHT With the postponement of the Resolution Trophy to September, the highlight of the month fell on the August 18 Section Night which saw a good turnout of nine section fund members. July Section Night Winner Andrew Lim started the first game of the evening looking to repeat his success from the previous month. His opponent, Senior Handicap Champion Hugh Scheffer, thought otherwise and promptly defeated him. Hugh continued his fine form throughout the night, winning four of five frames, to be crowned the October Winner. A special mention goes to Andrew for playing the second most number of games (four) and for the shot of the night, a wicked double off the bottom cushion.

This is the first time the Choir has performed in support of professional artists. It was a sit down dinner and the performances were given between the different courses. The second set of the evening saw the Tanglin Club Choir join the stage with Mikey as soloist in ‘Ave Maria’ (Bach and Gounod’s version) and the English song ‘Scarborough Fair’ (Traditional). The Choir then followed by singing the all-time favourite Chinese song, ‘Ye Lai Xiang’. It was obvious that the audience thoroughly enjoyed the event and appreciated the stellar performances throughout the evening. We were delighted to hear the following from a General Committee (GC) Member after forwarding a video of the evening to the GC – “Congratulations on an excellent performance. It is satisfying to see such significant progress for all your hard work. I look forward to the Choir doing well in the year ahead. Franklin.” The Choir had much fun practising for the show and is now looking forward to the upcoming Tree Lighting Performance in late November. Meanwhile, as a charity outreach, we are taking our songs to share with the elderly at selected residences during October. The Choir always welcomes new Members and is hoping to inspire more people to take up singing. Do visit us any Wednesday at the Theatrette from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

It provided an opportunity for the Members to engage in friendly, fun and competitive darts. The delightful atmosphere further enhanced the warmth of being together with friends once again at the Tangles. All the winners walked away with Tanglin Club F&B vouchers. Light refreshments were served. We thank Eunice for helping with the posters as well as organising the refreshments. Sepalika Kumarasinghe Darts Committee Member THE TANGLIN CLUB PAGE 32 Golf Section AUGUST IN HOUSE GAME In a very notable August week in Singapore’s sporting annals and preceding the 100m Butterfly Final in Rio, sixteen Tanglin golfers took some time out from their respective Olympic pursuits to chase the little white ball around the fairways of Seletar Country Club. This in-house event offered the opportunity for Golf Section Members to hone their skills on one of Singapore’s finest courses in time for the upcoming Tanglin Major, the Annual Golf Championship. The sky being a little overcast provided ideal conditions for a very pleasant game of golf with the competition being of a Stableford format. Following the game, players gathered at the terrace to share some of the day’s experiences and satisfy appetites with some traditional Makan Kecil and beer. As part of the après golf session, flights of golfers formed teams for a mini quiz. The captain’s flight demonstrated their prowess on Olympics trivia and came out clear winners. Well done to the members of the winning team – Alex Eow, Hugh Hoyes Cock, Paul Gelardi and Wolfgang Hollerman. Golf Winners for the Day Paul Healy (37 points) Jurgen Martiens (34 points) Alex Eow (33 points) A consolation lucky draw was also made in which Rohit Chawla masterfully picked his own name out of the hat.

This event, held every last Friday of the month, had many families participating with their teenage and young children. They had a thoroughly exciting bowling day, ending with a sumptuous BBQ dinner, prepared no less than by the Lawn Bowls Convenor himself, Rodger Kimpton. Unfortunately, the 3rd session scheduled on 26 August had to be cancelled due to the heavy haze.

The team was very strong on paper with 6 players all graded A2 or better and featured 2 players who won silver medals in the jumbo doubles competition at last year's South East Asian Games. We were able to pull together a reasonably competitive side and decided to hold 5 singles matches, with a range of other fun doubles being played over the course of the night. Team Tanglin got off to a great start with our Squash and Tennis Club Champion Rob Chen winning 3-0 over SEA Games silver medallist Sandi Arisma. At the completion of the singles matches, the Indonesia team was winning 3-2. So in order to try to level the tie, we put up 1 jumbo doubles match in which Tanglin was able to overcome Ade Furqon, also a SEA Games gold medallist, who found the weight of his Manager Dahni too much to carry. It was a very diplomatic 3-3 result and we proceeded with the makan and refreshments to end an enjoyable night with the visitors. Shane Hagan Member of Squash Section PAGE 35 THE TANGLIN CLUB Ten-Pin Bowling Section TEN-PIN BOWLING NATIONAL DAY CHAMPIONSHIP ON 29 AUGUST 2016 UPCOMING EVENTS Saturday, 8 October – Inter Club Friendly Game with SRC Monday, 17 October – 10 Pin Long Kang Day Monday, 14 November – Annual Ten Pin Bowling Championship 2016 All proud Singaporeans celebrate our country’s National Day in some way or form. Many wear red and white on 9 August and at the National Day Parade. Our Ten-Pin Bowling Section celebrated the nation’s birthday on 29 August 2016 with a National Day Championship. Enthusiastic Members turned up for an evening of joyous celebration at Singapore Island Country Club (SICC), the ladies outnumbering the men. But that did not deter the men as Andrew surged forward with a powerful strike. Not to be beaten, our reigning champion, Pamela, matched Andrew’s play with her own strike. Then Mylinh followed suit, closely repeated by MC. It looked as though it was going to be an evening of spectacular strikes. Consistent in form, Andrew continued with spares and strikes, impressing all those who attended. Akiko was cross with herself for vacillating between landing the ball in the longkang and surprising strikes. Phine told Akiko that she was doing well since Phine herself did not even have one single strike throughout the championship. Madeleine was consistently steady with her frequent strikes. It was good to have Jane back with us after her long absence. The evening ended with a lovely meal at the Tavern, back at The Tanglin Club. It was not surprising that Andrew came in 1st Place, Nancy in 2nd and Madeleine in 3rd. Vouchers were given to our top three winners. Peter appointed Phine to hand out the prizes as she was the best dressed (perhaps said with tongue-in-cheek) in her orange sarong kebaya as she had come straight from her literary talks. Mylinh mused that perhaps a prize should be given to the lowest scorer as well. The fact that we were not a large group made it possible to capture the sense of camaraderie and each felt that we were amongst friends. Max faithfully turned up to take photos of everyone at dinner. Josephine Chia Ten-Pin Bowling Member THE TANGLIN CLUB PAGE 36 Tennis Section-Adult NATIONAL DAY TENNIS SOCIALS IN RED AND WHITE! TENNIS FRIENDLY MATCH WITH CHINESE SWIMMING CLUB Over 30 Members of the Tanglin Club Tennis Section turned up in full force – decked out in red and white in their tennis tops, skirts, shoes, caps and even bandanas – to celebrate Singapore’s National Day! And to add to the truly Singaporean flavour of the day, the food and beverage team served up a motley spread of culinary delights popular with the locals – beef salad, sayur lodeh, Thai green curry and fried rice. It was gratifying to see such a large turnout of Section Members proudly pledging their support for the nation’s 51st birthday amid the camaraderie of great social tennis. A big thank you to our ladies tennis captain, Lillian Lum, for organising this enjoyable celebration! They might be from the Chinese Swimming Club, but they proved to be remarkable tennis opponents too! On 31 July 2016, The Tanglin Club hosted a tennis friendly match with the versatile tennis team of the Chinese Swimming Club, drawing crowds of supporters from both clubs who cheered on their friends with high-fives all-round at each killer slice, top spin or smash by our best players. The friendly match took up almost all the courts (save one for our usual Sunday tennis section hours) as evenly matched players battled to gain ground on their respective overall scores. After a gruelling four hours of intense play of twenty games, The Tanglin Club finally emerged the winner in the friendly. Congratulations to our Tanglin Club tennis team and many thanks to our ladies tennis captain, Lillian Lum, for organising this friendly. Magdalene Tan Tennis Committee Member PAGE 37 THE TANGLIN CLUB Tennis Section-Junior JUNIORS REPRESENTING OUR CLUB It was great to see our young ones representing the Club in the kiddy version of inter-club. This season saw two Tanglin Club teams competing in TennisHub-Smash! Junior Tennis League. Our mini ambassadors proudly showcased the Club to their opponents and made many new friends along the way. Congratulations to our 12B team, Tanglin 7Up, who clinched 3rd spot in a very tightly contested match. Tanglin Club Junior Tournament Series #3 Unfortunately, due to the haze, the 26 to 28 August event had to be cancelled. It is a shame as it would have been a great turnout. Series #4, the final one for the year, happens from 11 to 13 November. Registration sheets will be posted on Level U1’s noticeboard a month before the event. Registration closes the weekend before the event.
