Stepping Up Ceremony 2008

The Stepping Up Ceremony on 5th July went on relatively well without a hitch (except the strangely jammed den door, which was unfortunately broken into). It was eventful and memorable as always, with the upswelling of emotion and back pats. The ventures congratulate the stepped up Sec 3s on their assisgned posts and wish them all the best in their future dealings with the unit.

To the Sec 4s, study hard for your O levels and we hope to see you guys back in Venturing soon.

In addition, the J1s would like to reiterate our thanks and appreciation to the J2s who have guided us and supported us in the ways open to them. We wish you guys all the best in the upcoming A levels and see you guys in Rovers soon.

Last but not least we would like to thank our venture leaders (including those to be and not to be); Malcolm, Yen Chee, June Ren, Boon Leong and Marcus; for their help and assistance throughout this year. We also wish our leaders (Mr Malcolm Tan, Mr Alphonsus Gregory, Marcus) who are attending the conference in Korea a safe and fruitful trip.

My fellow J1s let's live up to the various expectations laid on us, continuing with improved vigour to bring the venture unit to greater heights. See you guys soon.

P.S: Shannon its time to reliquish administrative privileges of the blog to Nicholas...

SATURDAY, 5TH APRIL 2008

Hey all. The activity that was planned for you peeps on the 5th of April will be postponed to a later date, which hasn't been finalised. The reasons are simple: firstly, you'll be involved heavily in your respective AVLC exco meetings from now till the camp. Also, it's probably a good time to take a short break before the camp itself. So yea. Take care and rest well. See you peeps at the camp!

Saturday 220308 activities

Okay ventures this is the schedule for this Saturday.

Some changes have been made. As mentioned by others before, the venue of the BBQ is now at Malcolm's place. Those not in the know, please ask around. The time is still at 6pm, tentatively.

Before that, I expect ventures to attend the After Action Review meeting of the campfire council. Its at 4pm, Malcolm's place but at the function room, 5th floor.

Before that (notice I'm backtracking? lol), since you guys have nothing to do, we'll stick to the plan of having fun at ECP, except now we have to return to Malcolm's place by 4pm for the campfire council meeting. Now, I need someone to I/C for the ECP side. Volunteer yourselves or shoot recommendations on the tagboard.

If the response is poor, we will cancel the ECP plan can do something else.

That's all for now, updates may be posted, so watch this space.

[Update]

Hi all
Once again please note that there has been a change of plans for this Saturday.
At Marcus' request, we have changed the BBQ venue to Malcolm's Place which is at Sherwood Towers.
We have decided not to head down to ECP on that day as it will be quite a rush.
Instead we will be spending the late morning and afternoon preparing for the BBQ which we are supposed to facilitate.
We are also all expected to attend the AAR of the campfire which is scheduled for 4pm.
As such we will need to spend a few hours before 4pm, preparing the food,drinks etc. for the evening.
I propose that we begin preparations at Malcolm's place at 1pm.
We could meet at 12pm for lunch at King Albert Park and then walk over to the apartments as a group.
Before that, i will need a few fellow J1s, together with me, to buy the stuff required (food, charcoal). preferably from the NTUC at Bukit Timah Plaza which is just the adjacent building to the apartments.
If no one wishes to volunteer for the shopping before the preparations, i will be appointing people to go with me. You all will be informed on Friday afternoon.
Tentatively we will meet at Bukit Timah Plaza at 1030am. (shopping group)
Whether or not we are using this BBQ for our home econs section, Rubegan will decide.
Sorry for the last minute changes.
I hope our moods are not dampened due to the fact that we no longer will be going to ECP

That's all for now peeps.

Aaron :)
