http://www.britishclub.org.sg Categories: Clubs, Associations Company Profile: On top of Singapore’s second highest
peak at Bukit Tinggi, you can enjoy first class leisure,
sports and dining facilities set amid lush tropical greenery
and flowering shrubs while looking down on the bustling life
of the city just 10 minutes’ drive away
New
developments over the years continue to improve the
Club’s facilities in sympathy with our rainforest
surroundings, natural habitat for monkeys, squirrels
and other jungle creatures. The four-storey main
clubhouse is connected by a shady woodland walkway
to a modern sports centre lower down the hill, while
our cricket and football field lies at the bottom of
the hill.
The British Club is owned by our Members who,
through an annually elected President and Main
Committee, provide the strategic direction for the
General Manager and his staff. Founded to meet the
needs of the British community, the Club is also a
favourite retreat for over 30 other nationalities
and Singaporeans who together form nearly half the
membership.
Our adult social programme features themed and
casual buffets and parties as well as wine
appreciation evenings, formal dinner-dances, live
bands, pub crawls, pub quizzes and competitions.
Adults can also learn new skills including Asian
cookery, Mandarin, quilt-making and other arts and
crafts as well as local games such as Balut and
Mahjong with the many workshops and classes offered
by the Club.
We arrange a variety of fun activities for the kids
such as Chinese brush painting, arts and crafts,
dance workshops, summer sports camp, cookery and
trips to local farms and places of interest.
And for the family, we hold carpet auctions and car
boot sales and have a programme of cultural and
historical tours around Singapore and Malaysia for
those who want to know more about the festivals and
events that are celebrated here. Our annual free
Family Day fair is not-to-be-missed, and we
celebrate all the major British and Asian holidays
in traditional style.
For those who enjoy a good read, the Reading Room
boasts a good selection of books for adults and is
well-stocked with British as well as local magazines
and newspapers, a haven for those who seek a quiet
place to catch up on international news over a cup
of tea or coffee.
Our Jackpot Room with 16 gaming machines is for the
grown-ups only. Designed in accordance with Feng
Shui principles, its gaming machines have been known
to pay out thousands of dollars!
The indoor Mike Gorrie Playcentre, for children up
to the age of seven, adjoins our poolside family
restaurant and is kitted out with educational toys
and games. Parents may leave children in the
supervision of Club for up to 65 minutes so as to
use the gym or participate in other on-site
activities. For older kids, we have an Activity Hub.
In addition to traditional British fayre, our four
dining outlets offer the best of continental and
regional cuisine, wines from around the world,
healthy options as well as such diverse food
promotions as Vietnamese, Thai, Australian, German
and Turkish.
The ideal family dining experience can be found in
our open-plan Verandah Caf? overlooking the pool.
This casual alfresco outlet offers an extensive mix
of local and western dishes with kids’ own buffet
bar. Adjoining the Caf? is our Verandah Terrace for
more intimate candlelit dining to the exotic sounds
and sights of the tropics. Members’ favourites at
both these venues are the pizzas from our new
wood-fired oven and the Indian menus from our
speciality Tandoori kitchen. There are also regular
ethnic and international buffets to be enjoyed here.
The Windsor serves pub grub favourites such as fish
‘n’ chips, bangers and mash and real ales. Live
music, regular quiz and pub games nights keep the
atmosphere buzzing, and on Saturday nights our
weekly Sweep gives away credits, sometimes over
$4000! At the Sports Centre overlooking the tennis
courts, the Scores Sports Bar and Restaurant has
full meals, healthy options and takeaways. And, for
sunbathers and swimmers we have a Poolside Bar
offering icecream, soft drinks, snacks and even a
beer or glass of wine.
Our fine dining restaurant, The Mountbatten Room is
open for dinner only and features a modern European
menu and its very own wine cellar (over 600 bottles)
whilst retaining some of the old Mountbatten
specialities. With amazing views offered from the
second floor, dinner becomes more than a meal at
this restaurant. The restaurant was included in the
Wine & Dine Top Singapore Restaurants Guide 2008.
We cater for a wide range of functions at our newly
renovated indoor banquet and seminar rooms, the
poolside terrace, or our spectacular rooftop garden,
and also at outside venues. Our professional Banquet
team can arrange such business, social and family
functions as training seminars, board meetings,
company events, dinners, celebrations, weddings and
kids’ parties, and our outside catering service
features our excellent North Indian Food. All our
packages are competitively priced, offer great value
and can be tailored to your specific requirements.
When you join the British Club you also gain
privileged access to a host of top class clubs
worldwide. We have reciprocal arrangements with over
50 clubs in Asia, the United States, Australia, New
Zealand and Europe.
During your holiday and business travels you will be
welcome to visit, use their facilities, dine and
even, in the case of some clubs, find accommodation.
If you are entertaining business associates away
from home, how better to impress than by taking them
to a premier local establishment! Our associates
even include the Singapore Executives’ Club in the
central business district, if you have a need for
downtown entertainment and dining.
The dedicated management team works closely with the
Main Committee of elected Members to ensure that the
needs and wishes of Members are met. In order to
maintain the highest standards in our service, we
implement an extensive people development programme
including service quality, self-directed teams,
cross-functional training, better English classes
and ‘managing change’ adventure training. Our
on-going efforts in staff training received
recognition from Singapore’s Public Service Board in
2003.
We like to see our Members in the Club but when
they’re away we keep in touch through a monthly
magazine, special mailings, weekly email broadcast
and up-to-the-minute website. Members may
communicate by phone or email and even check their
account details on the website. Comments are valued
to achieve improvements in service and we conduct a
membership survey every two years, hold focus group
discussion sessions and put out feedback forms
throughout the Club as well as provide an email
contact point. Our in-house Training Manager devises
courses to build on skills and remedy any problem
areas identified through Members’ feedback as well
as a ‘mystery shopper’ programme.
We provide facilities and opportunities for you to
enjoy a wide range of on-site and off-site sports.
Whether you want to play in a league, learn a new
sport, keep fit, or just make new friends over a
social game, our sports staff will soon get you
started. You can also enjoy live telecasts of
international games on our widescreen TVs at the
Sports Centre.
Sunbathe at the poolside, relax in the Jacuzzi, or
swim in the 25-metre, 6-lane pool where we have
classes for babes through to adults, inter-club
competitive swimming, water aerobics and other aqua
activities. Alongside the main pool are a children’s
splash pool and an outdoor sheltered playground.
The Club’s purpose-built Sports Centre has four
squash courts, four floodlit tennis courts, a
spacious gymnasium equipped with both cardiovascular
and toning equipment, and an aerobics/dance studio.
In 2008 it underwent some major renovations and
added a luxurious Spa to its facilities. Off-site,
Members take part in shooting, scuba diving, golf
and lawn bowls as well as annual Club trips to the
Malaysian Grand Prix and Hong Kong Sevens, and,
nearby football and cricket pitches are just two
minutes’ drive away.
Trained Club staff, assisted by external coaches,
conduct a range of fitness classes for all ages
including martial arts and aqua activities as well
as swimming, tennis, cricket and other sports
training. Visiting celebrities have also led lucky
Members in exhibition games and sports clinics.
Peter Nicol, Matts Wilander, Henri Leconte, John
Barnes, Sir Bobby Charlton, Pat Cash and, in 2005,
David Beckham, Sven-Goran Eriksson, Daley Thompson
and Ade Adepitan have all enjoyed the warm
hospitality of the British Club and given us the
benefit of their skills.
