Dear Members,

New Verandah Policy
With effect from 1 August, children aged 10 & under will not be allowed to access the right Verandah (Mountbatten Room side) during and after polo (i.e. Tuesday & Thursday from 5pm onwards and Saturday & Sunday from 4:30pm onwards). This new policy will be implemented in response to feedback from a significant number of members who wish to watch polo and dine without unnecessary distraction. This policy will also ensure that all members have an equal opportunity to enjoy the ambiance and comfort of the Club during this peak period. We thank you for your understanding and compliance with this request.

Change to Late Penalty Policy
With effect from 1 August 2010, there will be a change to the late penalty fee to 2% of outstanding balance OR $50 fee; whichever is higher. In addition, the credit facility for members that appear on our Delinquent’s List (outstanding account between 61-90 days) will be suspended until settlement of the account. Such members may also be requested to increase the deposit that is paid to the Club.

Please be informed that the 7th Month Festival & Dinner Auction will be held on Saturday 14 August 2010 from 7.30pm onwards at the Covered Arena. The following facilities will be closed due to this event:

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.

Dear Members,

Extended Front Desk Operating Hours
Please be informed that the operating hours for our Front Desk have been extended to 10pm every Friday and Saturday.

Change in Tennis Booking Procedure
Effective 1 May 2010, please note that tennis court bookings may be done seven (7) days in advance. Only one (1) court will be allocated for tennis instruction; with one (1) court to remain available for member/social play at all times except Wednesday(s) from 4:30-6pm when we will schedule a Junior Tennis Program on both courts.

We must also ask that the tennis courts not be used for any other purpose than tennis. Many players are voicing their concern regarding the use of the tennis courts for other games and/or dogs, including during the use of the opposite court by players. The on-court equipment (rollers, net, etc.) continue to be damaged and/or broken as a result of this activity. We ask for your support and understanding of this request.

Important Veterinary Notice
We have been informed of a recent infectious; possible zoonotic outbreak at Leisure Farm, Malaysia. In order to safe guard the Singapore Polo Club horse population, no horses from Malaysia have been allowed into the Club since 11 March 2010. Effective immediately, we must ask that you adhere to the following additional protocol until further notice.

Any member or guest to the Club who has visited and/or ridden at Leisure Farm is required to:

• Remove all clothing and/or riding equipment used there and to not bring these items into the premises without properly washing and/or disinfecting all such clothing and/or riding equipment (particularly polo boots, mallet etc).
• Shower thoroughly before visiting the Club.
• Any car or other vehicle that has been to Leisure Farm within the preceding 24 hour period, is required to first report to the Guard Post and sign in before entering the Club premises.

Usage of Jacuzzi
There have been regular complaints about the use or availability of the Jacuzzi at poolside and the influx of young children that occupy this amenity. Please note children aged 10 and under are prohibited from using the Jacuzzi. Diving into the Jacuzzi from the surrounding area is also prohibited and a matter of safety for all users. We must ask all members for their cooperation with this request; in particular, the parents/guardians of young children. There is a wading pool for young children and we would like to give all members the opportunity to enjoy the ambience of our poolside area.
