9th SNCF Inter Co-operative Bowling Tournament 2009

The 9th SNCF Inter Co-operative Bowling Tournament witnessed an overwhelming response that marked the close of 2009.

With the special inclusion of three categories namely, the Ladies’ Open, Senior, and Youth, our annual sporting event saw a record increase in the participation of senior and women co-operators. In total, 148 co-operators from 28 co-operatives started the ball rolling on the morning of 13 December 2009 at the Orchid Bowl @ Orchid Country Club. Intra co-operative camaraderie was also demonstrated with eight gutsy youth co-operators, representing two teams joining the tournament for the first time. The inclusion of new categories certainly opened the floodgates for a greater participation and stronger promotion of inter co-operative bonding.

Joining us in the family fun was our Executive Council Chairman, Mr Chan Tee Seng, who rolled the first ball of the day and presented trophies to the winning bowling enthusiasts.

BOWLed over by YOUTHS

Fifteen youth bowling enthusiasts from eight co-operatives bowled to the beat of disco sounds and laser lights on the evening of 4 December 2009. Organised by our SNCF Youth Committee, this cosmic bowling event at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates’ Guild was part of our outreach efforts to youth co-operators aged 35 years ‘young’ and below.

Cosmic bowling strikes people of all skill levels as enjoyable, which was why during our two-hour trip through the cosmic galaxy, there was laughter and fun coupled with lively music and good food. Our Remy Ong and Jennifer Tan-wannabes also pitted their skills against their bowling mates and exchanged bowling tips.

The enthusiasm of our youth co-operators continued when our Committee was represented by two teams at our 9th Annual Inter Co-operative Bowling Tournament.
