SG Secretariat Begh has been the (Acting) General Manager since January. Yi Mei will be starting as Administration & Operations Manager on 1st July. Ellie joined SG as Administration Assistant in May. Highlights of 2009 and Plans for 2010 SG is 1 of 9 NSAs granted 3-years of multi-year funding from SSC. SG’s fundraising Golf Tournament & Dinner held on 22 March 2010 raised ~$42,000. The SEAGCON Junior Championships was a successful Validation Exercise for YOG. President expressed thanks to Mr Lee Hong Chuang for the great efforts put into the organization of this event and the coordination with SYOGOC. We are now focusing on getting ready for YOG:

(a) Important to use the feedback from the VE to improve for YOG.

(b) We have qualified our gymnasts to the YOG – Timothy Tay for MAG, Rachel Giam for WAG, and Ann Sim, Cecilia Chia, Miki Nomura, Phaan Yilin, & Vivien Ho for RG. They are stepping up their preparations towards the games.

SG aims to become a Charity by 31 Dec 2010. To do this we must comply with the Charity Act and make relevant amendments to our constitution. SG will continue to further enhance our secretariat. With Begh leaving for Canada in November, we will be engaging a General Manager. We are also currently sourcing for an Executive (Athlete Management).

(a) We will continue to work with Tian Ju Ping as our Technical Consultant employed by SSC.

(b) National Program will be reviewed this year under Ju

Ping’s supervision.

(c) We will also continue to raise the standard of our coaches in Singapore.

been met.

(c) Begh for heading an efficient secretariat team.

2. Minutes of 7th AGM 2009

2.1 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.1.3 2.1.4

Discussion and Queries Siew Kuan explained the Annual Declaration of Conflict of Interest Form. Hwee Cheng went on to emphasize the importance of the Declaration. All Ex-co members & staff were advised to declare all possible conflicts. Hwee Cheng informed that henceforth, full members must submit their list of 25 paying members, AGM minutes, evidence of annual returns to ROS, and their representative forms in order to vote at SG’s AGM. Sports Gymnastics Coaches Association sought clarification on point 2 of the 7th AGM Minutes – it does not mention that submission of AGM minutes would be a requirement. Is it also true that failure to submit those documents today will result in cancellation of membership? Siew Kuan explained that it would only result in failure to vote. However, we will still allow members to vote today should they give written commitment

2.1.5 2.1.6 2.1.7 2.1.8 2.1.9 2.2 2.2.1 2.2.2

to follow-up with the submission of those documents. Siew Kuan went on to explain that it is of utmost importance that members comply because SG is currently an Institute of Public Character (IPC), and is intending to achieve full Charity Status by end 2010. The following membership requirements were reiterated:

(a) Fees must be paid by 1st January, else membership will be cancelled within 3 months (as per Constitution)

(b) List of 25 paying members to be submitted (as per Constitution)

(c) Minutes of AGM and evidence of annual returns to ROS must be

submitted to SG

(d) Nomination form must be completed Sports Gymnastics Coaches Association sought clarification on the requirement of quorum to approve amendments to Constitution. Siew Kuan explained that clause 8.9 of the Constitution states that ¾ of the total voting membership will form the quorum. AG GymSport, SACAC, and General Gymnastics Association will not be granted voting rights at this AGM due to failure to submit the necessary. This leaves us with 6 voting members of which 5 are present, and 1 more that will arrive later. Hence we have a quorum. Philip Chan highlighted that he was not present at the 7th AGM hence item 7.2 of the minutes should not read “Philip Chan suggested…” Item 7.2 will be amended to read “A member suggested…” Philip Chan made a request for the Annual Report and Financial Statements to be circulated earlier next year. Hwee Cheng agreed that SG will take note and carry this out next year. Approval of Minutes of 7th AGM 2009 Approval of minutes of 7th AGM 2009 was proposed by Rachel Kennett (Prime) and seconded by Lau Miah Song (SAGA). Minutes of 7th AGM were approved with the following amendment: 7.2 Membership for Athletes A member suggested there be a membership put in place for gymnasts/ coaches/ judges etc.

S/n Item Action

3.1 3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3 3.1.4 3.1.5 3.1.6 3.1.7 3.1.8 3.1.9 3.1.10 3.1.11

Discussion and Queries President apologized for the late circulation and went on to give a summary of the Annual Report As per requests from some members, SG Ex-co will look into the current Organizational Structure – Item 4, and revert accordingly. Members were urged to come forward to volunteer for the various committees listed under Item 5. Item 7 lists the breakdown of SSC funds for financial year 2009. Hwee Cheng emphasized that SSC funds do not cover all of SG’s operations, hence the need for fundraising. Item 8.2(g) should read “Part-time WAG Coach from Dec 2009” Sports Gymnastics Coaches Association sought clarification on who the 6 x Brevet 4 MAG Judges under Item 9.4(b) were. They are: Gan Chai San, Keong Seng Chye, Khoo Kim Heng, Lim Kok Siong, Lim Tze Yen, and Saket Jhajharia. Item 11 re Preparations towards the Organization of YOG: Hwee Cheng emphasized that our YOG preparations are on track and urged all members to come forward and be a part of the games! Item 12 re Fundraising: Siew Kuan reiterated the need for volunteers to conduct fundraising for SG. She also expressed that the full members should have supported our Charity Dinner. Philip Chan explained that the lack of participation in SG’s 2010 Fundraising event could be because members do not see how they will benefit from the funds raised. Perhaps if SG were more transparent in the purpose and utilization of funds raised, members would be more forthcoming in their participation & donations. Whilst the excellence program is doing well and striving to achieve a lot, SG’s members are involved in other goals and objectives. It is hard for them to come forward to contribute to fundraising when they do not see how the funds raised will help them in achieving their own goals and objectives. Hwee Cheng concluded that there must be more communication with the fraternity. She also encouraged the fraternity to come forward with more suggestions. Rachel Kennett highlighted that it might be difficult to gain support in the way of donations from members who are non-profit organizations and have to be concerned with raising funds for themselves. Rachel suggested that

7

S/n Item Action

3.1.12 3.1.13 3.1.14 3.1.15 3.2 3.2.1

SG should tap on the parents of the centralized training gymnasts. Choy Kah Kin clarified under Item 9.4(d) that RG Brevet 4 Judge, Lim Siew Kuan was also assigned to judge at the SEAGCON Senior Championships held in Bangkok in October 2009. Philip Chan sought clarification on Item 7 re SSC Funding. He raised the following questions & comments:

(a) How much of SSC funds did SG not spend and have to return to SSC?

(b) Why is SG requesting funds for plans that do not exist?

(c) It seems that not enough effort has been put into planning for an

entire year’s competitions and training plans for the MAG program. The following responses were discussed:

(a) It was explained that funds could only be spent for the category it had been allocated to. Any funds unspent in that category cannot be used for over expenditure in other categories. As the budgets are planned way ahead of time, it can be difficult to foresee all eventualities.

(b) The incident of the gymnasts pulling out of the World Championships

in London was brought up. It had been in their competition plans to compete at this meet and all gymnasts and coaches were well aware, however at the last moment the girls decided not to go due to injuries and examinations.

(c) It was suggested that Philip Chan write in with full details in order for

the matter to be further discussed and looked into with the head of MAG.

Item 8.2 re Coaching Staff – Hwee Cheng updated that our RG part-time coach Choi Jun Hyun left in May 2010 and SG has since found a replacement i.e. Yang Xiao Hua. SG is currently also in the midst of engaging a WAG 3rd Team (male) Coach. Approval of Annual Report Approval of Annual Report for Year Ended 31 March 2010 was proposed by Terrie Wong (GSGS) and seconded by Ng Soh Lan (SSSC)

S/n Item Action

4.1.1 4.1.2 4.1.3 4.2 4.2.1

Hwee Cheng explained that the account show a profit this year. Provision for tax has also been taken into account. Reserves are important in order to keep SG sustainable. Hwee Cheng expressed thanks to Pak Kheng for helping to ensure that the accounts and SSC SoA were prepared in time for the AGM. Philip Chan enquired about the responsible party for SG’s bad debts equating to 15% of funds raised. Hwee Cheng explained that SG Ex-co had decided to write-off the bad debts resulting from non-payment of training fees by past gymnasts who have already left the training program. However, should they be selected to and wish to return to the training program in future, paying off those debts would be a pre-requisite. Siew Kuan went on to respond that the respective discipline heads are accountable for the collection of training fees. Approval of Financial Statements & Audit Report Approval of the Financial Statements & Audit Report for Year Ended 31 March 2010 was proposed by Rachel Kennett (Prime) and seconded by Terrie Wong (GSGS)

All to note

5. Amendments to Constitution

5.1 5.2 5.3

SG has to achieve Charity Status by 31 December 2010 in order to continue to receive funds from SSC. The first step to achieving this is to amend the constitution to be in-line with the Charities Act. The proposals for amendments as laid out in the Annual Report and circulated 1 week before AGM were briefly discussed and put forward for approval by votes. See attached Annex 1. Members voted unanimously to approve the proposed amendments to SG’s constitution.

All to note

6. Appointment of External Auditor for FY2010

6.1 6.2

Hwee Cheng highlighted the need to change auditors every 5 years, whether to another auditor from the same auditing firm or company or to another auditor from a different auditing firm or company. Hwee Cheng highlighted that SG would need to change auditor this year. As the auditing firm, C. C. Yang has been providing very good service at affordable cost ($2-3000.00), Hwee Cheng recommended to stay with the same firm but request for a change to a different auditor/ partner. The above recommendation was put to vote. The vote was unanimous to

6.3 appoint C. C. Yang as the auditing firm for FY2010, with a change to a different auditor/ partner.

7. Any Other Business

7.1 7.2 7.3

Terrie Wong (GSGS) brought up the subject of holding the AGM on Saturday afternoons instead so that attendees will not have to take leave to attend the AGM. Rachel Kennett highlighted that some have to work all day on Saturdays so having it in the afternoons on Saturdays will not be suitable either. She also suggested that early June or the month of July might be a better time for AGM as a number of gymnastics clubs are usually closed in June and the staff leave for holiday during that time. President agreed to try to schedule it for when as many people as possible could attend, but it is unlikely to be much earlier due to the time taken to complete the financial statements and audit report.

8. With no other matters to discuss, Hwee Cheng thanked all for attending and the meeting ended at 12pm.
