The clubhouse in 1956 was also known as "the hut".
O
nce the Club’s only staff member, Ms Irene
Ee was also its first female employee and
to date its longest-serving employee, having
worked at the Club for over thirty years.
“In the past, people had never heard of Serangoon
Gardens Country Club. The taxi driver would ask,
‘Where? There is such a club in Serangoon Gardens
estate?”, Ms Ee, now a Membership Executive,
recounted. “Now, they know where it is even without
you having to tell them.”
The Club has come a long way since its days as a
humble “hut”. This year marks the 60th anniversary
of Serangoon Gardens Country Club (SGCC). First
established on 29 April 1955, it was initially known as
Serangoon Garden Sports Club. It was founded by

10Football in the 70s Enjoying a game of chess
As British troops pulled out of Singapore in the late
1960s and early 1970s, membership was made up
mostly of locals residing in the area. The Club was
later renamed Serangoon Gardens Recreation Club,
with games like soccer and netball increasingly
popular and many tournaments held. Mr Eddy Wee,
who has been with the Club since 1972 and a founding
member, recalls the times with fondness in his voice.
Now a 68-year-old retiree, he used to play soccer with
his friends at the Club and had represented the Club in
competitions at club and constituency levels. Mr Wee
reminisced, “The football field was not maintained
by anybody. Whenever the committee saw that the
football field was in very bad condition, they would
order a lorry-load of soil and dump it. The players
would help to fill up the potholes.”
The Club’s premises suffered from a lack of
maintenance due to dwindling membership. In
1981, the Club was redeveloped to form Serangoon
Plans for the new clubhouse in 1981
Gardens Country Club, under the encouragement and
foresight of Dr. Lau Teik Soon (Member of Parliament,
