To Mum, With Love
Straight From The Manga Pages!
a pre-Happy Birthday Greeting to Civil Service Club! Yes, come 25 October 2011, the Club will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. The Club has indeed come a long way from its humble beginnings, located in a single-storey building at Dempsey Road, to a Club with 3 Clubhouses and a membership base of about 23,300. The highlights of the past forty years are chronologically listed on pages 6 to 8.
as part of the commemoration of this special anniversary, the Club launched the complimentary CSC-Passion Card for members in May 2011. Most members who opted in will receive their CSC-Passion Cards by early Jul 2011, together with a complimentary sports utility bag. a series of activities and promotional discounts will be organised for our members at the Club’s outlets in Oct 2011. an amazing Race, part of the biggest ever Public Service Sports Carnival, will be organised on 26 Nov 2011. The Race will end at Marina Barrage and Gardens By The Bay, the venue for the Carnival. a CSC Karaoke Singing Competition will be held, with preliminaries between aug and Nov 2011. The finals will be held at the CSC annual Countdown Party on 31 Dec 2011. (More details on page 10.)
Over the past months, all feedback received from members, be they accolades or suggestions for improvements, were promptly attended to. as a result, Bukit Batok Clubhouse has included more pool deck furniture, tightened its maintenance process, resolved the high-pitched noise emitting from the aircon condensers that affected the residents nearby, and organised more social activities. at Tessensohn Clubhouse, the unpleasant smells and smoke from the kitchen of our neighbouring Clubhouse was resolved by installing a proper venting duct in the kitchen to extract smoke from the kitchen. We would like to thank our members for their feedback.
The Club will continue to enhance its facilities to enable our members to have a more positive experience. The Multi-Purpose Hall at Tessensohn Clubhouse, which was recently painted, will have its badminton courts upgraded with BWF-approved green mats, umpire chairs and scoring systems. The table tennis courts will be upgraded with new tables and flooring. There will be a screen to compartmentalise the badminton courts, table tennis playing area and Climb asia. a Pro-shop will also be set up. all these upgrading works will be completed by end Jul 2011. at Bukit Batok Clubhouse, the extended indoor children’s playground is ready for use, and new car-park and Clubhouse directional signage will be up by Jul 2011; worn out swimming pool facilities are being repainted and the changing room facilities improved. as for Changi Clubhouse, the existing facilities will continue to be well-maintained. The works will depend on URa’s approval of our plan to renovate and upgrade the Clubhouse.
Since May 2011, the Club has reorganised some of the Corporate Services appointments to enable the management to synergise their roles more effectively to support the Club’s present and future needs. The main changes are reflected on page 11.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Ms Serene Chan as Manager of Corporate Services, effective from 1 Jun 2011. Serene has worked in both the commercial and Club sectors, and has a wealth of experience in HR and membership matters. I am confident that she will contribute to the Club’s efforts to better serve our members.
Finally, to all the parents amongst you, a belated Happy Mother’s and Father’s Day!

25 October 1971 marked the founding of the Singapore Civil Service Sports Council (SCSSC) at the Tanglin Clubhouse on Dempsey Road.
Tanglin Clubhouse officially opened in April 1972.
Construction of the Tessensohn Clubhouse was started at a cost of $17.8 million.
The inter-territorial games between Singapore and Malaysia were inaugurated. Games were held twice a year on a home-and-away basis.
The Social Interaction Programme (SIP) was launched to help single officers in the civil service to come together through social activities.
Portsdown Clubhouse was returned to the Ministry of Defence in June.
A new membership system was implemented, replacing the scheme of voluntary contribution of fees. An affiliation scheme for sports organisations was started.
Inter-territorial games included women for the first time, recognising women’s growing involvement in sports.
The completed Tessensohn Clubhouse was handed over to the SCSSC on 30 September.
The Council took over the Portsdown Clubhouse in January.

The Club of Choice for Public Officers2011 marks our 40th anniversary and heralds a new beginning. Today, CSC has come in sync with our members’ lifestyles, hobbies, and interests, and it is where individuals and families can come together for fun and quality bonding time!
Forty Years Of HistoryWith four decades of service, CSC has been playing an important role to provide recreational and sporting activities for civil servants. In the following pages, we take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane and look back at the changing times and vibes of the Club over forty years.
Looking Forward TogetherTessensohn Clubhouse has recently been upgraded, and Changi Clubhouse is also scheduled for renovation later this year. CSC faces challenging times ahead, as revenue has been impacted by the Integrated Resorts’ opening as well as rising operation costs. Despite this, we are always committed to our mission to offer our members the best facilities and activities we can, and we hope existing members will keep the faith and bring in more new members too!
- Mr Hon Sui Sen, the late Minister of Finance, at the inauguration of Civil Service Club, April 1972

To mark the occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 19 May 2011 by Mr Ho Siong Hin, Executive Committee Member and Chairman House & Bar of CSC, and Mr Chan Boon Fui, Deputy Chief Executive, People’s Association.
Mr Ho described the tie-up between the two organisations as a “strategic alliance that will provide a strong resource base” which will “benefit our [CSC] members”. Mr Chan added, “The addition of the CSC to the PAssion Card family will result in a community that is more active and vibrant.” For example, CSC can now tap on PA Water Venture Outlets to provide CSC members with water sports programs, or the Outward Bound School for outdoor adventure programs.
CSC, in line with its aim of being a truly family club, is also the first in Singapore to introduce supplementary cards for the families of principal members, which allow their spouses, children and parents to become supplementary members at no additional charge.
AS part of the Civil Service Club (CSC)’s 40th anniversary celebrations, the club partnered the People’s Association (PA) to extend PAssion Card Benefits to CSC members. The CSC-PAssion card is offered to CSC members at no additional cost when they commit to a 2-year membership with the Club. The ultimate winners? CSC members – who benefit from getting the best of both the PAssion Card’s and the Club’s offers.

To Mum, With LoveLet’s hear from our CSC members who were there.
Thank you for giving us a memorable family time! It was great to see mothers of all ages go on stage to participate and have fun. Really appreciate the chance to join in this enjoyable event.– Ms Ng
The door gift was meaningful, as was the photos given to us on the spot. The emcee was engaging, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. – Daniel
The lunch and entertainment were good. This mother’s day is definitely memorable for my mum and my whole family! – Kelly
We enjoyed the lunch. The programme was just nice and entertaining. It was meant to be a surprise for our mother. When she walked in, she was shocked to see all her children there and she actually sat on the edge of the stage because her legs felt weak! – Mrs Seah

CSC played host to Comifest 2, an annual gathering of comics, characters and games for cosplay fans. Comifest was first held at the Suntec Convention Centre. This year, the greenery and waters of Bukit Batok Clubhouse drew the organisers away from the concrete jungle and into a luscious green-and-blue natural setting!
Over the two days (4 to 5 June), the Club saw larger-than-life characters who stepped out from the pages of manga and fantasy comics. They descended upon the clubhouse, decked out in a dazzling riot of exotic costumes, colourful hairstyles and gung-ho attitudes mirroring those of their manga characters'. For cosplay and manga fans in Singapore, Comifest 2 was indeed a feast for the eyes and mind, with manga characters galore!
Participants and fans alike had a great time. Experienced cosplayer, Cassandra Thai, was dressed as Alice from Pandora Hearts, while her friend Jia Sin, a first-time participant, was there as Will of Abyss. Cassandra described the event as "awesome!" and "really fun", while Jia Sin said it was "fantastic" to be able to "wear fancy costumes which I don't get to do in school". Zhiwen, in the guise of sword-wielding Hitsugaya Toushirou, was also taking part in his first cosplay event and felt it was a great experience!
It was a indeed treat for our members, visitors and photographers who came to capture the parade of flamboyant costumes and props.

THE Public Service Beach Volleyball Tournament, held at a beach volleyball court at Clementi Ave 2, on Friday, 13 May 2011, saw Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) crowned champions by a distance. Its men’s teams romped to a clean sweep of the top four positions, while their female counterparts also excelled, finishing second and fourth in the Women’s categories. Twenty-two
teams from nine government agencies participated in the event. MHA team captain Mr Wong Chee Wui said his teams hope to maintain this winning streak, which he described would be “even more challenging” in future.

THE Public Service Bowling Competition finals was held from 23 Apr to 14 May 2011 at Westwood Bowl, Club CSC @ Bukit Batok. Held in conjunction with the Public Service Week, the event was very well attended with 215 teams from 30 government agencies participating in the event.

MOE emerged overall champion by coming in top the Women’s Category and second in the Mixed Category.

year’s tournament which was held at the Kallang and Yio Chu Kang Tennis Centre from 12 Apr to 18 May 2011. MOH team captain Dr Julian Theng recounted how his team had to overcome the loss of three strong doubles players and said that his players were thrilled to have won the keenly-contested tournament.
