and committee feedback, structural findings, etc. As
it was with the third floor, Phase II will also encompass
the gathering and compilation of Members’ thoughts,
followed by a series of debates, refinements and concepts
by the PCG, DRC and other key committees before
presentation to the Members and ultimately the GC as
a whole. It will thus, once again, be an evolving process
that will require as much feedback and involvement from
Members as we can get. So please, stay informed, stay
connected and keep the ideas coming. The Club, and
the GC in particular, is committed to an outcome that
is membership driven and uses the mission and values of

Pool Closing party, so you won’t want to miss it. Although
the pool and Scotts Road building facilities will be open
through July for Members to enjoy, we are holding the
party before school gets out, so that everyone has a
chance to attend and have a last hurrah at Poolside.
This is the first time in many years that the pool is being
included in our Club-wide party, so be sure to join us for
what promises to be a fun and memorable evening.
I’d like to thank all of you who have taken part in our

We are proud to announce that The Club is one of Singapore’s latest organizations to achieve the
Spring Singapore Business Excellence Service Class status. The Service Class (S-Class) status is awarded to
organizations that have adopted and developed customer-centric approaches to service standards, and
highlights capabilities in service leadership and agility to enhance customer experience and delight.
In particular, the attainment of this standard is testament to The Club’s commitment of delivering excellent
service and creating value for Members and stakeholders, thereby contributing to a vibrant community and
the larger social dining industry.
At the Award Winners Sharing Conference in March, only 30 other organizations were presented Business
Excellence awards across the 3 disciplines of Innovation, People Development and Service. The Club is also
the only club in Singapore to have attained 2 Business Excellence Certifications.
In tandem with the certifications, we have seen great results this past year, with staff engagement levels
in the top quartile of all companies surveyed in Singapore and higher than companies in the ‘Hotels,
Restaurant & Leisure’ category, on top of an industry-leading low staff attrition rate (and the lowest in living
memory at The Club).
We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our team members for making this
Club such a special place, as well as to our Members for their incredible support and encouragement.
The Business Excellence (BE) initiative is administered by SPRING Singapore to help organizations strengthen their
management systems and processes for high performance through adopting the business excellence framework.

The awards serve as a wonderful acknowledgement of The Club’s efforts

members to realize their full potentials.
GM Martin Rudden was presented the awards by Guest-of-Honor,

MAY / JUN 2016 THE AMERICAN CLUB 6On March 17, The Club played host to some 200 servicemen and women from the USS Blue Ridge
(LCC-19) at its Poolside Navy BBQ.
The event, which was proudly supported by the Navy League, saw the sailors enjoying an evening
of good food and good fun, augmented by a superb live band and an incredible atmosphere of
camaraderie. It was also a wonderful opportunity for Members and guests to meet and bond with
fellow military personnel.
Our thanks to all Members who sponsored the crew for their support and help in making the event
so special.

We, the People of the United States, in order
to form a more perfect union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for common defence, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain
and establish this constitution for the United
States of America.
Especially on Memorial Day, Americans
honor those who have given their all in
service to their country. We remember
their commitment and dedication to:
Justice, domestic tranquility,
the blessing of liberty.
On Monday, May 30, join us in
honoring America’s veterans, and
the men and women serving in
our military forces today.

Redevelopment Project
It may be hard to imagine how the redevelopment will reshape our future building. The image on the left shows The Club
as it is today, prior to any changes. The yellow component is the Scotts Road side of the building that will be demolished.
The image on the right shows what The Club may look like after redevelopment is completed. As you can see, by rebuilding
the Scotts Road building The Club is able to couple the circulation between the buildings and unlock the synergies
between them. This “unlocking” should pave the way for the “main street” concept that should link areas more easily,
and also create greater back-of-house efficiencies, which should translate into a greater level of service for Members.
Level 3
This month we begin construction on Level 3 in
the space that was previously the Colonial Room.
This new construction will house the new libraries
and Business Center, and will provide a welcome
space for those looking to work quietly, organize
meetings, browse the stacks, research and read, or
simply share a coffee and subdued conversation
with a colleague.
As you look at the latest schematic of the space, you
will see that this is a transformational area – The Club
took the best from its existing spaces and developed
it through extensive focus groups with both Members
and staff, who collaborated on this portion of the
project for many months.
Level 3 is being redeveloped first so that existing
facilities (libraries and Business Center) in the Scotts
Road side of the building can be moved into their
new space before it is demolished. This allows
Members to continue using these services with
minimal interruption. Members will be able to use the
Scotts Road facilities through the end of July.
Library users on the third floor will be able to
enjoy Overdrive as part of our new library
services starting in September.
9 THE AMERICAN CLUB MAY / JUN 2016Basement 1
Construction of the temporary facilities in B1
also begins this month. This space, which will
be located in the B1 carpark, will temporarily
house the Youth area, Administration office
and community partner offices. As part of
this scope of work, approximately 40 parking
spaces will be occupied to make room for
the temporary facilities. To compensate for
this, the 20 staff parking spaces will be moved
off-site, so that the net loss to Members is
20 spaces. As always, The Club will provide
complimentary valet during peak periods to
minimize any inconvenience to Members.

Chengdu is well-known for its leisurely lifestyle, lovely pandas, beautiful old towns and numerous heritage
sites. Embark on a trip that will immerse you in local culture with a 2-night break at the Six Senses Qing
Cheng Resort.
Nestled in the stunning gateway to the enchanting Qing Cheng Mountains, this luxurious abode is your
perfect escape from the hustle of daily life. Soak in the magnificent views of the famous UNESCO World
Heritage site Dujiangyan, visit the beautiful Taoist Pilgrimage destination “Front Mountain”, witness the
largest Buddha statue in the world at Mount Leshan and get up close to adorable pandas in their
natural environment.
On top of that, you will also have the opportunity to indulge in Sichuan’s culture by visiting the back stage of
Bian Lian or “face changing” opera, experiencing hands-on preparation of Sichuan cuisine, having a go at
the traditional Chinese game of mah-jong and discovering the interesting local practices of cleaning ears,
drinking bow tea and writing water calligraphy.

Robert in 100 words…
What made you decide to join The Club?
I joined The Club as a freelance Personal Trainer after leaving the commercial gym environment. What
motivated me was the knowledge that this is a Members’ club that’s all about the service, not numbers.
What is your vision for the Gym and Personal Training at The Club?
My vision is to improve the Member experience by delivering quality service with passion – to lead a team
of highly committed health and fitness professionals to motivate and encourage Members to achieve
their goals.
What are some misconceptions about Personal Training and fitness that people have?
Some people think that Personal Training is just about having someone drill you with exercises that make you
tired. Some think that a one-hour session weekly is all it takes to get them their results. The truth of the matter
is that diet and lifestyle play equally important roles too. Trainers will help to motivate, educate and inspire.
Tell us something about yourself that few people know.
I may look unapproachable or unfriendly but I really do love to assist others and share my knowledge.
