Message from the President

The year was a relatively quiet one on the competiton front

with no major multi-sport event on our calendar.

Nevertheless, our elite gymnasts never stopped training in

their relentless pursuit for peak performance. By the time

you read this, the results of how we fare at the August SEA

Games in Malaysia would be out.

Regardless of that result, we can take heart in our training programme based on the

results of our junior gymnasts who competed at the recent Asean Schools Games in

July. Gymnastics was the major medal contributor for the Singapore contingent,

garnering a total of 9 golds, 5 silvers and 6 bronzes. Our heartiest congratulations to

our gymnasts and coaches for a job well done!

Outside of the field of play, SG office was far from quiet though! We underwent a

challenging period which saw the departure of Janssen, Ellie and She-Na, effectively

reducing the Secretariat to less than half-strength. We had to work tirelessly to

ensure that the organisational knowledge was not lost in transition whilst restructuring

the Secretariat, a concept, which with all credit due, first came from the Secretariat

themselves.

At this point, I must say a big Thank You to our volunteer consultant, Pak Kheng, for

literallly ‘taking over the captaincy of the ship’. Kudos must also go to Madeline and

Clarence, our Secretary and Deputy Secretary respectively, for spending so much

time to guide the Secretariat and to put in place the restructuring framework.

We are not totally out of the woods yet, but with new General Manager, Karen

Norden, formerly of Gymnastics Australia, at the helm and a more technically

inclined Secretariat, I am confident that we are moving in the right direction.

Our aim is to be the representative and governing body for all things gymnastics in

Singapore. Key to fulfilling this is our ability to work with all stakeholders – our

members, clubs, schools and Sports SG - expect to see and hear a lot more from

Singapore Gymnastics in the coming year!

Yours Respectfully,

Choy Kah Kin

Marketing Report

Electronic & Social Media Platforms

Singapore Gymnastics employs the use of a variety of electronic tools to keep

members updated of our events and promote the sport to the public. While our

website remains the main communication platform for official matters and updates

on latest events, maintaining our presence on various social media platforms allow us

to engage our audience to pick up interest and drive users to our website.

Photographs

SG accredits volunteer photographers at our events to take photos for sale. The sale

of these photos have proven popular with competitors, and in this FY has netted us a

profit of $921 as at 31 March 2017. The sales continue online and are a source of

constant income for SG.

The photographs are property of SG and are also used to give our collaterals a

professional look while showcasing the beauty of our sport. SG will continue to engage

photographers for our events to generate photos to visually captivate our audience.

Ticketing

Ticketing remains a significant source of income to help cover costs of running our

events. Our ticketing strategy remains unchanged. Tickets are priced affordably

ranging from $5 to $10 for local events.

In a bid to bring gymnastics to the masses, GymFest 2016 was held in a public space

and tickets were not charged.

Compared to National Championships 2016, we saw a 64% increase in ticket sales for

the National Championships 2017, and a small increase in ticket sales for Singapore

Open. Overall for FY17, there has been an increase in 22% for ticket sales, compared

to FY16.

Sponsorships

SG seeks donations and sponsorships from corporations and individuals to fund our

various programms and support elite gymnasts. Our initiatives range from ensuring

our events run at positive margins to providing training support and equipment to

support the development of elite gymnasts. Our corporate sponsors have seen their

brands being strengthened through their active involvement in our causes and

events.

For the financial year ending 31 March 2017, total sponsorship in cash received

amounted to $200. Total sponsorship in kind amounted to $5,000.

Fundraising

A charity golf fundraising event was held on 18 October 2016 at Orchid Country

Club to raise funds for SG’s high-performance programs. The golf charity saw

members of our community from various backgrounds and disciplines come

together to seek donations from corporates and individuals. The funds raised will go

towards developing better programs for the advancement of our high-performance

goals. Funds raised from this event totalled $171,558.50.

The event was a huge success, and we look to organise more fundraising events to

generate an income stream independent of our grant.

Participation & Membership

National Competitions

Singapore Gymnastics organises 2 key annual

competitions at Bishan Sports Hall for competitive

gymnasts to compete locally and progress along the

pre-determined competition pathway. Grading

exercises conducted at these events monitor athlete

progress and identify talented athletes for the elite

pathway.

These events were successfully delivered with the

collaboration of staff and management

committee members, respective discipline

technical representatives, contractors, judges and

volunteers.

A volunteer appreciation was held on 11 January

2017 to celebrate our successful events and thank

key volunteers for their contributions. We look

forward to working with them closely in future.

Singapore Open 2016

Singapore Open remains one of the few FIG-sanctioned competitions for MAG, WAG,

& RG in this region. The steady stream of competitors from greater Southeast Asia

annually is testament to our competition organising abilities and judging standards,

which we strive to continually better.

Trampoline was added for the first time to the Singapore Open, with the launch of the

Trampoline National Development Pathway, 8 clubs and schools took part.

Participation rates rose yet again this year, to a total of 611 gymnasts, an increase of

8.34% compared to last year.

Judging

Singapore Gymnastics successfully re-qualified a significant number of Brevet judges

in the new cycle. As with every first year in the cycle, in the first quarter of 2017,

significant effort was spent educating and supporting our FIG judges by holding

workshops and preparation sessions to help them successfully achieve their Brevet.

FIG judges are also subsidised for attending the FIG Brevet course & exam. Judges’

technical expertise help ensure routines’ adherence to code, gymnasts’ readiness for

competitions, to maximise our achievable scores at competitions.

In return, judges are required to commit a minimum of 15 judging hours a year. Hours

are tracked and help determine judges’ priority for overseas competitions and

judging subsidies for the next cycle, to ensure a transparent and robust judging

framework and returns of investment.

To increase the pool of judges and improve judging standards, judging and refresher

courses are held. Courses organised this FY:

• RG Level 1 – May 2016

• TRA Level 1 – June 2016

• RG Level 3 conducted by Gymnastics Australia – September 2016

• RG Level 2 – February 2017

High Performance

This year saw all high-performance squads prepare for selection for the 2017 SEA

Games. Efforts were focused around improving the abilities & performance of our SEA

Games squad members, with an eye on our targets for the 29th SEA Games in August

2017. 2016 and 2017 being major games crucial preparation years also set the stage

for the 2017 SEA Games, and 2018 Commonwealth Games, Asian Games & Youth

Olympic Games respectively.

Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG)

This was a year of learning for our Men’s squad. The Kansai University Games held in

Apr 2016 was an eye-opener for Lincoln Forest, Zac Liew, Kaeson Lim, Robin Sim, Eli

Low, as they polished crucial competition skills and learnt from Kansai’s best.

To facilitate exchange of knowledge and learn new training methodologies, the team

under Coach Ryosuke Kusumi participated in training camps held in Osaka in June

2016, as well as Tokyo & Niigata in December 2016 where they also had the

opportunity to learn from world-champion team Japan.

MAG Juniors fared well at Singapore Open 2016, achieving IAA 4th and finishing Top 3

for Parallel Bars and High Bar in a competition which counted Malaysia & Thailand’s

top Juniors as competitors. At the SEAGZONE Artistic Junior & Age Group

Championships held in Hanoi in Aug 2016, the team consisting of Sean Yeo, Lincoln

Forest Liqht Man, and Robin Sim achieved Team 3rd.

Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG)

2016 Pacific Rim Championships held in April was a highly competitive event featuring

many top-level teams including USA, Canada, Japan amongst others, and was a

good learning experience for our team which included 2 Senior newbies Sze En &

Colette. The Senior team consisting of Tan Sze En, Nadine Nathan, Janessa Dai, Zeng

Qiyan & Colette Chan came in 7th. Tan Sze En finished 11th All-Around with 50.550, a

respectable performance for her first international meet, while Nadine Nathan was

not far behind in 14th position. Top Seniors Sze En & Nadine also went on to compete

at the Anadia World Cup 2016 in June.

The Senior squad preparing for SEA Games also had the privilege of working with

choreographer & coach Stacey Umeh of Australia, in Dec 2016 & Feb 2017, who

reworked dance choreography and boosted artistry for all floor routines. In Dec 2016,

the team also underwent an intensive training camp in Beijing at the national training

centre and benefitted from joint sessions with the Chinese national team. In

preparation for SEA Games 2017, the team consisting of Zeng Qiyan, Kelsie Muir,

Colette Chan, & Nadine Nathan competed at the EnBW DTB-Pokal Team Challenge

in Mar 2017 for the first time in the new code.

WAG Juniors Ng Le En, Gemma Mollison, Lim Sze, Nydia Heng, Shayne Tan & Skye

Phua took part for the first time in an international meet at the Hong Kong Invitational

in Jan 2017 and completed a successful competition. Gemma Mollison ranked 3rd for

IAA, Nydia Heng won 3rd on Bars, Lim Sze came in 3rd on Beam, and Ng Le En won 2nd

place for Floor Exercise. Their podium finishes set them up for future success and bodes

well for the development of the WAG pipeline.

Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG)

Singapore continues to provide opportunities for gymnasts to participate at high level

competitions. At the Asian 14th Junior Rhythmic Gymnastics Asian Championships

held in Tashkent in Apr 2016, we were represented by 3rd-year Juniors Michele Lau &

Avryl Tan, who were preparing for SEA Games 2017, and 2nd-year Junior Aiko Tan.

Against Asia’s best Juniors, Michele placed 22nd in the All-Around competition and

qualified as 1st reserve.

Our close friendship with Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation led to a fruitful training

camp at the RG national training centre in Baku. All SEA Games 2017 squad members,

as well as 2nd-year Juniors, attended this camp in Dec 2016. Athletes were privileged

to have the help of Azerbaijani national team coaches, dance experts, and sports

medicine staff, who worked seamlessly with our coach & officials to facilitate the

transfer of knowledge.

2017 Aphrodite Cup held in Greece in Mar 2017 was the perfect stage to showcase

our routines in the new 2017 code. Our newly formed Senior Group competed for the

first time this cycle, and achieved an all-around score of 22.750. We were represented

in the Senior Individual category by Edlyn Ho, Michele Lau, Phebe Lau, Tong Kah Mun

& Yeo Siew Lyn. In the Junior Individual category, we were represented by Aiko Tan,

Alicia Lim, Leah Chew, & Tammy Ng. In the Senior Group category, our members

were: Edlyn Ho, Michele Lau, Yeo Siew Lyn, Phebe Lau, Jael Chew. Tong Kah Mun

Other Relevant Disclosures

Conflict of Interest

MC, AC and Sub-Committee members are expected to avoid actual and perceived

conflicts of interest. Where these members have personal interests in business

transactions or contracts that SG may enter into, or have vested interests in other

organizations that SG have dealings with or is considering to entire into joint ventures

with, they are expected to declare such interests to the MC as soon as possible and

abstain from discussion and decision-making on the matter. Where such conflicts exist,

the MC will evaluate whether any potential conflicts of interest will affect the

continuing independence of MC members and whether it is appropriate for the

member to continue to remain on the committee.

Reserves Position

As per our Reserves Policy, the Management Committee aims to provide stability to

fund the structural costs in case of a decline in SportSG’s subsidies. The Management

Committee reviews the annual surplus semi-annually and apportions 30% of the surplus

to a restricted reserve.

The Management Committee aims to build up this fund to about SGD500K or

approximately equivalent of one year of salaries. About SGD100K will be held in an

operating bank account to fund working capital requirements. Since setting up the

reserves fund in 2010, the reserves have been held in a separate Fixed Deposit

account. The current amount is adequate to cover at least salaries for re-employment

transition in case this NSA should stop operations.

SG is up to date with the submission of our Online Evaluation Checklist via the Charity

Portal and the renewal of our Institute of Public Character (IPC) Status.
