Table Fee

Hi guys, sorry for the late notice, but those who want to use the tables in December have to pay table fees to Alvin today. I know I know, why my notice so last minute, but this table fee thing has been going on for so many months already, you all should know by now that the 5th of every month is when we have to pass the table fees to management.
So to those that haven't pay Alvin, please try your best come down to go to pay Alvin.

Important notice: 

To all pool team members:

The aircon @ SPGG trip again yesterday. The technical who did the servicing confirmed that the recent aircon trips were due to the pool cue cases placed in the switchpanel cabinet in the front portion that knocks the MCCB off. Please be careful as the technical will report this incident to the management & may ban using that switchpanel cabinet. 

Thanks for your cooperation.

Hey guys, I'll call Phillip today to tell him the news.

It's official, there won't be any training for the month of October, starting tomorrow. Phillip has agreed, and there will be no coaching fees to be paid for this month.

Training will start again by November; I'l remind you once again when the date draws closer. Despite training being cut-off, I strongly encourage you to come down and train by yourself.

Til' then, enjoy what's left of your holidays, see you soon.

Hey guys, the Halloween event on the 28th of October will be $22 per person. For SPGG Members, I'm not sure about the subsidy though; I'll update you once I get the news. Anyone interested?
 By the way, I just want to let you know that only six people attended training on Tuesday. What's the dilly-oh people? Yes, I acknowledge that it's an improvement but we need more than that in order for training to continue.
I want to hear from you, 'cause all of you make the team. Is it because you've got other commitments in work? Maybe because you're travelling? Or perhaps its because you aren't allowed to be out of the house? If these are the reasons, I understand fully, and I've got something to propose.
Would you guys want to put training on hold, and continue once school starts again? How about having training on a specific date, a specific timing? Leave your inputs on my post on Facebook alright. 
Come on guys, let's work together to improve... as a team.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WIN PEOPLE!

Remember what I talked about after the Tournament; let's be men of our words and attend trainings punctually!

Keep the momentum moving, let's keep moving forward alright! It's nice to see much more people during training today. It would be better if we could take it a step further and come before Phillip does(:

See you guys soon, keep it up alright! :D

Hey! I've got some announcements to make. Hear me out and do acknowledge! Don't worry, they're all good news.

Firstly, the monthly fees of October will be waived. There's no news regarding the date when the Pub moves over. Til' then, we can continue training at Geegee!

Secondly, thanks to the players who won Serangoon Gardens Country Club, GeeGee's Management would want to bring us for a treat. On the 28th of October, there'll be some Halloween Event at Univervsal Studious Singapore. They were wondering how many could and want to attend this. Possibly, it will be free! Do drop a comment of Facebook, or the Tagboard if you're keen on going.

Thirdly, Ash invited us for a chalet on the 22nd of October at Changi. From what I heard, there will be a free flow of drinks. Whether it's alcohol or not, I have nooo idea.

Fourthly, our dear Alvin has bought for us Brunswick Chalk to train with. The chalk is really nice to use, and you will be tempted to keep it in your bag... BUT, it's the Team's property,  hence you must return it after use. It won't be pleasant if you were to steal it, just goes to show your character.

Lastly... This isn't good news, but I think I should bring it up. The Pool Hall isn't invincible, please try your best to take care of it! Accidents are bound to happen, but try your best to reduce the chances! I know sometimes, 'your feet itchy', and you feel like kicking that random yellow volleyball. PLEASE, don't ram towards the glass window! It's our responsibility alright(:

If you accidentally broke something, like a glass panel for example. Report it immediately to the front office (where we register our names). If the management happens to find out before you tell them, or worse, you report to them like a week after the incident, it'll just make matters worse for you. Don't be afraid to own up, they'll respect your honesty, and you'll feel much better clearing the air as early as possible, rather than letting it have a snowball effect.

I hope you all have read everything clearly, and I'll be looking forward to your reply on Facebook!

I'm not making jun yang the bad guy larh. But really, please at least respect him when he posts this type of stuff he is your new vice captain. PLEASE RESPECT PHILIP. if the attendance is so bad, it just goes to show that you guys, don't even have a single sense of accountability or responsibility or respect towards phillip, which i think is damn disapointing to know of. Not only that, there are more seniors then juniors today at YOUR training, how embarrasing is that? you guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves, don't you think? espeicially those without any valid reason. Please don't all of a sudden now, go conjure out a reason to hopefully save your ass, cause at the end of the day, you are harming yourself only, if you keep coming out with stupid excuses

Training Attendance

What happened guys??
Quek called me today saying only 3 people turned up for today's training. Alvin, Debbie, Kwok Onn.
wtf?     3?!!


didn't you all see Azkhairy's post:
"As you guys have noticed, Phillip hasn't been teaching like he used to. Why? Well, we have people coming in at 3p.m, 4p.m, when training starts at 2! I can't say much, I'm guilty as well. Let's work on this together alright! 
After seeing it clearly, I think it's all about discipline and respect. Put yourself in Phillip's shoes; would you want to turn up for training, when your students come in dribs and drabs? Then you'd have to teach the same thing again and again?
I don't want to put up punishments for whoever who comes late in the future, I think we are mature enough to know what's morally sound. If two o' clock is too early for you, leave a comment, saying you want training to start at three or something.

Phillip told me earlier, we only have 10-15% more to go, before we complete Module Two. Let's co-operate and complete it together alright!"




If Quek had to call me to tell me that only 3 people turned up for training and ask me to do something about it ASAP, it basically means the situation is damn bad already. If any of you all got any special reasons as to why you all cannot go down for training, like Douglas or Me, please SMS me or something to let me know.

Azkhairy and I have discussed about this. We are supposed to have fun. how much fun do you think it would be if this situation goes down to the point where training is compulsory, huh?
so guys please, respect Philip as well, when going for training you all are supposed to be at
GG          BEFORE  2.
We will see whether the situation improves. If it doesn't, then we have no choice but to do something.

OKAYCAN, second matter I'd want to touch up on...

Things that will happen during the 3 months renovation

Quek and I have discussed about the things that will happen during the 3 months when SPGG Pool Hall is closed. Right now, what Philip can give us is: $50 for 4hours for 4 tables per day other than training days (playing days). AND we aim to have 2 PLAYING days. Total costs amount up to $400/month for icez pool to earn. If altogether in the team there are 20 people who goes down to icez, it will be $20 extra for all of you all. This is for the whole team.

So regarding the year 1s now, you all still have to pay $30 regarding the training per month to Philip. The concession rates still applies for Tuesday & Friday for you all. which means, you all have to pay $400 per month for tables for year 1s training. From what Quek and I observed, there are roughly 20 people who attends training altogether for both days, which means you all have to pay extra $20 for table time during training. So all these amounts up to $50 for just training ONLY for year 1s. Obviously you guys want to play extra days as well so judging by the previous paragraph, you guys have to pay a total amount of $70/month.

So in short, you all have to pay table fee during training. So $50/month for training ONLY. If want to go down on other days to play/train, is $70/month.

I know it's very expensive for all of you all, that's why I don't expect a reply by today. but please reply to either Quek, Azkhairy or Jun Yang by tomorrow 7p.m. LATEST. if let's say anyone of you all don't reply, we will take it that you accept any terms and conditions we lay down. AND THIS IS TO EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE TEAM. FROM YEAR 1s TO YEAR 3s. or whether you retain or not, it's still the same because we have to send the reply by tonight and we will try to postpone some info to tell Ann.
Thanks, and hope you guys understand. We are still trying to figure out ways to help everyone although there is no guarantee that we can subsidized. Please remember to reply.

Hey guys i got both good and bad news for all of you.

1stly the good news is that, september table fees will be WAIVED meaning you don't have to pay, but that does not mean you can abuse the tables and all. Like suka suka bring people from outside the team or your friends, cannot like that arh, if not the management confirm plus chop clamp down us like dogs like that. EVERY SINGLE THING WE DO THEY ARE WATCHING US! So please understand.

2ndly the bad news is that NICK NG's cue is missing, IS A PREDATOR BLACK CUE WITH 4 POINTS. I mean like you all might think knn this one not my problem i involve for what. BUT IF YOU SEE ANYONE USING IT, OR TAKING IT AWAY PLEASE TELL ME! Because is like we have to find back his cue in short. I know whoever who took it won't admit at all, that is why i need evidences.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I just went for a meet the members session and managed to get some info out of there.

1stly. Ur pool hall has no intention of closing down. Yes it will be closed temporarily for ur pub to take over. But once the pub has finished renovating it will go back and your pool hall will come back. The vice president said that there is a substantial number of interest in the pool hall and has no intention to do anything to it and it will be maintained.

2ndly. The club is in a renovation phase. Its currently at phase 2 where by ur F&B outlets are getting renovation. The 1st phase was the wellness centre / SPA . So do not be surprised if the pool hall will be renovated in the coming years cuz there are still 3 more phase they wish to do renovation. My guess would be ur sports facilities , the 4th floor rooftop & all the events room.



But here's the main point of me writing this post. Its going to be damn long but please bear with me.

I wish to implement a few stuff from my time back into the system now. Not because I want to, But because management has talked to me just now also and I feel its better this way. No offence to any of those in charge as I did not discuss this with you guys. But trust me for the last time ok?

1stly. I'm gonna gamble 3 years of everybody's hard work from bringing this team to where it is now on Azkhairy, Jun Yang & Alvin. SPGG management needs a permanent captain, vice captain & treasurer for the next 3-4 years. I wish I could fill that post, but you guys know that I have NS.

Being a captain now would mean u are tied down to SPGG for the next 3 years minimum?? If you guys dont think you can commit you are always welcomed to turn it down. Its really a very big burden. How far the team will go is how you guys do things in the next 3 - 4 years.

You guys got until 14th Sept to decide. Come 15th Sept, the change over of every roles will be done in front of the management in a meeting. All ground rules will be decided. BUT not the future plans of the pool team, that's for you guys to decide how you wana go about doing it. I got some plans to share with you guys after the exam.

2ndly. Monthly Pool Fee + Pool Fund. Monthly pool fee will be paid to Alvin. The reason for this change is cause its a problem for finance dept to keep track of individual payment for each of us. Its sort of like going through the whole month's receipt just to figure out wether the XXXX guy / girl got pay up. So to make their life easier, all payment will be made to Alvin. Front desk has the right to refuse payment for monthly pool team fees.

Pool fund will have to come back. Bowling has a Bowling fund from their members. But because of this, they are able to do alot of things easily as its their money and SPGG has no right to interfere in anything they buy for the team.

Likewise the pool fund has to come back. Meaning every month u pay $30 to alvin for non members and $15 for members. But that's when your pool hall comes back. Sept u just pay $10 to him cuz of the chalet & we needa get some chalk for ourselves. The table fee for sept has been waived.

Last time no need pay for friendly cuz we got this pool fund. Chalk everything provided for. Extra set of balls cuz of pool fund. This has to come back, If SPGG does not wish to subsidize us, at least we still have this amount of $$ to help us. If we can be a semi-independently run organisation, SPGG would be more than happy cause they dont have to bother about us. $5 every month. Not alot to ask for right?

3rdly. You guys need to have a monthly meeting among yourself. Submit what you've discussed to the management. Let them be aware of everything you do. EVERYTHING. from the air con spoil to national tournaments to club friendlies. Azkhairy, you are carrying 1/3 of my past burdens. Everything has to fall on you. Can you do this? Can you commit? Think carefully before you answer. I can assure you its a whole different ball game. If you cant then its best the team find someone suitable for this job.

4thly. when you guys go out there for tournaments and friendlies. Do your best! Because our results are actually very good compared to bowling and tennis. If you got results let SPGG know! SHOUT IT OUT! Like the next fission magazine i asked GG to put 4 of us in the top 8 of SPGG 8-ball. National U19 will also be featured.

Its just that we lack that aggressiveness in planning stuff and pushing our ideas through all the way. If we can have support from SPGG, we are really gonna fly far as a pool team. That's something I could only dream of, but the task is for you 3 to make it a reality.

Lastly. AhMoo pls follow up on the player profile and do it thoroughly. Every single SPGG Student Member and Normal Member has to have their profile in SPGG Pool team file with management. Azkhairy And Quek Pls help him.

I would like to say THANK YOU to those that have supported me in the 3 years when I was your treasurer and Senior Advisor. Hope you guys enjoyed what I did to pull all of us through till now. We lost some guys along the way but well it was fun while it lasted.....

To those year 1s that did not enjoy what I've done. TOO BAD HAHA ask ur new captain to out do me.

Recruit Mok
