Dear Members,

Summer Holiday Period

Dear Riders

We understand that many of our members travel during the school summer holiday period;
For those enjoying a lengthy holiday, we would like to remind you of the following:

Please inform the Riding Office of the lessons that you will miss by completing a “Stop Riding” form.
For temporary lesson cancellations longer than 14 days, there is the option to reserve your regular riding slot (day/time) by paying 50% of the lesson fee.
Should you choose not to reserve your regular riding slot (day/time), it will be offered to members on our wait-list and you will be placed on the wait list for riding lessons. Please contact the Riding Office upon your return to re-schedule your lesson(s). There is no guarantee that your regular slot (day/time) will be available upon your return as we are experiencing very high demand for riding lessons at this time.

For those continuing to ride throughout the summer period, we would like to remind you of the following opportunities:

Half share leases are available (see attached). Please discuss this opportunity with your Instructor and complete the appropriate from at the Riding Office. Please note that leases are subject to approval by the Riding Sub-Committee
“Own a Pony” for a week. Please submit an application at the Riding Office.
“Holiday Horse Hire” rates - If you are available to ride and with the approval of your Instructor,reduced horse hire rates are available. The rate of $45 per horse will be charged for the first horse hire; any subsequent horse hire on the same day will be charged a rate of $25 per horse.Please submit an application at the Riding Office if interested.

From everyone at the Riding Section, we would like to wish our members a “Happy Summer Holidays!”

Dear Members,

Singapore International Polo Tournament 2011 (POSTPONED)
Please note that the Men's International Polo Tournament (Singapore International Polo Tournament; scheduled on 25-29 May) has been postponed to a date later in the season. Sponsorship and corporate entertainment opportunities are still available for this high-profile annual event on the local sporting and social calendar. Any inquiries may be directed to the Sponsorship Sub-Committee, the General Manager or myself. Confirmation of the new date will be forthcoming as soon as possible.

For those players interested in playing competitive polo over the same weekend, the club will attempt to arrange another PRO/AM tournament (approx. 4 to 6 goals) wherein players will contribute equally to the cost of the Polo pros plus Club horses and greens fee. Information will be posted as soon as available.

Dear Members,

Membership Cards Collection Reminder
With effect from 1 November 2009, a $10 Administration Fee was imposed for the return of any membership card that is left at the Club; in particular, the F&B Cashier for more than 72 hours. The membership card will be returned to the member via registered mail. No member discount on F&B purchases will be given to a member without their membership card.

We seek your cooperation and thank you for your continued support.

Dear Members,

Towel Amnesty
The Club is reportedly losing a significant number of towels each month. As a result, we are promoting a “Towel Amnesty” and ask that you ensure that all towels are returned following use at the Club. In some cases, a towel(s) may have been inadvertently taken to your home or car. We kindly ask that you take a moment to ensure that you have not innocently taken a towel from the Club premises or simply return any towels that may have been mistakenly taken from the Club.

Usage of Main Pool & Jacuzzi
We continue to receive 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 or jumping 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 ambiance of our poolside area. We have now appointed a member of staff to patrol the pool for the safety, comfort and convenience of all members and their guests on weekends (Saturday-Sunday) only.

We must also ask that infants wear swim nappies or other appropriate bathing attire when using the pool facilities at the Club as “accidents” can and do happen! We would like to avoid a repeat of a recent incident during a busy, weekend period that forced the closure of the main pool. Please ensure that this message is also communicated to your guests, guardian or domestic helper for the convenience of all users.

Dear Members,

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.
