My Short notes of 2012 NUSS Badminton AGM for your advance information

Dear NUSS Badminton Family,

1)      Thank you for our attendance;  The AGM went smoothly – Hope more of us could make it next year…thinking of having it earlier in Dec in event no quorum, so have more time to re-convene before middle January deadline.

2)      Some highlights:

-        No new nomination for key office bearers; All willing to serve for another term of one year (Give thanks to all of the office bearers)

-        The 2012 P&L was approved;  Healthy surplus!

-        Membership landscape – Expected to be affected "negatively" by subscription fee increase in April 2013;  MC is looking into ways to defray the fee increase by organizing more events for general members' benefit, etc (See my earlier separate email on notes of the 17 Dec 2012 briefing session on subscription fee increase)

-        SBH Pentangular Tournament  with positive feedback allowing younger players (not eligible in ICML) an opportunity to participate & against "fun/new" players

-        Continue to use Protech shuttle (goose feather)

-        Identify and encourage more of us to be 1^st Aider trained in AED + CPR

-        KC Lim given special award (S$100 Li Ning voucher) for his dedication in managing the Section Nights, welcoming newcomers, etc

-        Continue to find ways to show appreciation to members who gave of their time and commitment such as participation in tournament, etc

Feel free to share your thoughts with me…

With Best Regards/Francis TAN

MD 70 (min 30 years)                      Alan Saw/Chung Sew Meng (NUSS) Vs Leong/Gary (PBP)                   -               22-20/21-14                      Won by NUSS

MD100A(min 50 years)                   Ang SC/SK Gan (NUSS) Vs Allan/James (PBP)                                         -               19-21/21-23                      Won by PBP

MD100B Social (min 50 years)      Kenneth Choh/Lai Chan Po (NUSS) Vs Chew Kim Yong/Philip (PBP)  -               21-14/10-21/20-22          Won by PBP

It was a very close encounter with MD100B could have gone into our favour but we were not clinically sharp in the rubber set to press home our advantage in the closing stages;  Overall we all gave them a good fight with another key match, MD100A where the margin of loss was just two (2) points in each set!  Final score 4:5 in favour of PBP.

 

Our next Match #2 (Away) is with Chinese Swimming Club (CSC) on Friday, 5^th October 2012, 7:30 pm in Amber Road, S439870.  Hope to see some of you there!

As an affiliate of SBA, NUSS Badminton Section was offered two (2) complimentary season tickets for the Li Ning Singapore Open 2012 for balloting among its 85 strong section members;  It was carried out on 5^th June 2012 in the presence of Hock Huat and Francis Tan;

Congratulations to the two (2) winners - Kenneth Goh (L) and Chee Yong (R);
