Compiled list of ideas & suggestions
Bowling Alley:
- Move our bowling alley to the ground floor with more
lanes and better equipments as our existing system is old and it shows by
increasing breakdown during games. Some of the spare parts are getting
obsolete. It may cause more in the long run to repair. It is getting harder and
more expensive as the year progress. It is a matter of time that the whole back
end mechanical system be replaced. It would be wiser to do it sooner than later
with a major move down to ground floor and the ideal bowling venue would be
ground floor with larger open space for holding dinner as well as accommodating
large crowd during major bowling events. It will also serve as a attraction for
new membership.
-
If not possible to move to the ground floor,
(a)
Please install a elevator. It is not an issue if one
just walk up and down empty handed via narrow staircase but it’s very
inconvenient and strenuous for bowlers(esp adult bowlers and bowlers from other
clubs during interclub league) to carry 25-40kg of bowling balls, shoes and
accessories to the 2nd level. Not forgetting we have more senior
citizens bowlers now.
(b)
Level up lane 1 as some bowlers tripped while trying to
spare
(c)
Upgrade the oiling machine and system
(d)
Upgrade the computer system and PA system at the
bowling alley
(e)
Provide a screen in the middle of the bowling alley and
projector so that all can see the score especially during tournaments instead
of having to go over to the corner.
(f)
Add a small mini bar if possible which is good
especially during our weekly and interclub league and also tournaments. This
bar can be operated during peak period
(g)
Upgrade the ball returning station to cater for more
balls as currently many balls have to be placed on the floor which can be a eye
sore and cause minor injury to bowlers should they trip over the balls. It also
takes up walking space for bowlers
(h)
Provide more seats for spectators or supporters.
(i)
Upgrade the lockers as existing lockers are too little
and small to accommodate newer type of bowling bags and new accessories.
Security:
- We should install security camera to prevent abuse of
equipments, facilities, unbecoming behavior, theft etc. At this present moment,
it seems like any car can simply go in and out of our club. What about
installing at the entrance and exit of our carpark and progress into the club
house and open area of our facilities? A security company should be able to
advise the right equipments.
Carpark:
- Covered or sheltered carparks for members only
- Install barriers with members’ car IU scan to prevent
non-members from occupying the car park lots.
Pool:
-
too small to cater to larger crowd
Karaoke:
-
Should have at least two medium sized private rooms
instead of existing one big room and better sound systems.
-
Should have cordless microphones
-
better choice of songs.
-
Our existing karaoke hall is too small
F&B:
-
Whenever there’s a event at Eagles’ View which is a
nice air-conditioned restaurant with beautiful view, members do not have
another air-conditioned restaurant to dine. Another alternative?
-
Terrace & Tavern are packed with long queue lately,
shouldn’t we expand?
Social & Gym:
-
Simply too small with more members
-
Upgrade the gym equipments
-
Provide a bigger dance studio for Zumba, Aerobics,
Pilates, Ballroom dance classes etc as the existing one can only accommodate
around 8-10 people
Activities:
-
Should consider opening our facilities to less
fortunate/ charity groups/surrounding community or schools during off peak
hours to show we care
Other Suggestions:
1)
We should increase more social membership for short and
long term revenue for the club
2)
Club would be more vibrant with increase of membership,
thus we should cater more popular activities/sports such as
zumba/pilates/social dance, Futsal, badminton etc..
3)
Renovate the male and female restrooms at the social
side as it’s getting more dirty, smelly and old.
4)
New sauna, steambath and massage chairs
5)
Our club has a beautiful reservoir coast. If we could
put up colourful lights at night along this edge, it would be very attractive
and when people see them at night while driving along the road or in their condos
or homes, they may yearn to check out our club and we may have potential
members.
If all the above ideas are taken up and further
refined, the value of our club membership would also increase. It’s a win win
situation for all.
Let's share....
This blog is specially created for all scc bowlers and family to share your ideas on how to improve our club facilities. We will also share photos, news, birthdays, leagues, events etc etc etc on this blog. All are welcome to share.....
Below is a copy of SCC Special Update newsletter which i believe many have received. Few of us will be attending the Focus Group Discussion on 10 June in relate to F&B, Social and Sports and we would be glad to hear from as many as possible. As of now, some of the following suggestions were given and since the date is not far from now, it would be greatly appreciated if you could let us know what your needs are and we will compile it and bring them up during meeting:-
1) Better gym equipments and a bigger gym if possible
2) A bigger dance studio for yoga, pilates, zumba, ballroom dance etc
3) A renovated male and female restrooms at the sports section
4) To install a elevator to the bowling alley as it's very strenuous for bowlers to carry 2, 3 or more balls up the stairs
5) To level the floor at lane 1 at the bowling alley to avoid any trip from bowler
6) Eagle's View to be opened daily instead of only on wednesday to sunday.
Since our club has the extension given upto year 2040, which is another 26 years;
- are you happy with the current state?
- do you want better facilities?
- do you need a bigger sports hall/complex?
- how is our security?
- what about F&B, tennis court, swimming pool etc etc?
We would really like to hear from you since this is your club and it would be good for all to share their preferences but there's a need to justify the changes too.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Lily
