Happy New Year ICG! @ 1/01/2008 10:59:00 AM

To all members...

Chess Club has marked a remarkable year and ends 2007 with a name change - Intellectual Competitive Games. Throughout this year, there's been numerous activities, achievements and new friends.

It's now my pleasure to highlight some of the keys activities which we've done over the past year and let's soak in all of 2007 before we look towards 2008.

Chess Club began this year with astounding numbers of membership, something not achieved in the last 3 years. Thus, kudos to the committee led by our standing Chairman, Jason Huang, and his administration. Membership and bonding grew stronger through the camps, activities organized under Jason's able administration... one of those things we'll remember - the trip to Sentosa!

One personal take-away would have been the NP ChessShown which was my first adventure at organizing an event. It's the first time Chess Club outsourced it's event to IS project groups and I must say, I was pretty satisfied with their performance.

Congratulations to all winners...


Moving on, we'll also be reminded about IVP which saw the International Chess Division clinching silver and Chinese Chess and Weiqi Division clinching bronze. Next year, International Chess would represent ICG in the Appreciation Night where they will be presented with the Half-Colours Award. Well-done!

Finally, to soak in the ambience and before the curtains fall, buffet at Carlton Hotel saw a spread of International Cuisines.



New Year Resolutions
1) A targeted gold for this year's IVP
2) Good Attendance during all trainings and activities
3) Committed and able leaders to propel ICG forward.
4) More fun-filled activities for members

With that, I wrap up 2007 and usher in 2008, the era of ICG!

Thank you!
