Greetings my fellow Gooners,

 I am delighted to be back in the Exco and serving you as the President of our beloved Club.

2019/2020 in Review

2.         It was an eventful 2019/2020 season. Arsenal had three different managers, finished the season in a low, an eighth position and then won a FA Cup, qualified for Europe in this coming season and stylishly, pushed a club, I will not mention the name, to the qualifiers. Given the circumstances, it was an acceptable season.

3.         And then the world changes drastically with Covid-19. All of us are affected by the pandemic. As a Supporters’ Club, we were not spared. We no longer have a place to call home. Despite that, the Club continues to function. Pre-Covid phases, the Club organised futsal, charity events and membership drives, etc. During Covid, activities were limited to online activities, via Zoom platform.

4.         To have a seamless approach for sign-up and renewals, the Club had reviewed and transformed our membership processes using online and payment portals while the distribution of membership cards was outsourced.

2020/2021 Always Forward

5.         On the Arsenal front, the club started with a bang, winning the charity shield for the second trophy within 8 months. Is this a curse? We bought Gabriel and got Ceballos on loan.. is this enough? Let’s see how the season pan out.

6.         To recap, Arsenal Singapore was officially formed in 2007 and will continue to exist with your strong and enduring support. Our members are the utmost priority and we will continue to look after their interest. All these years, the Club has accumulated funds, to be utilised for the future of the Club and your benefits.

7.         On top of the agenda, we have to find a new home for the Club as soon as the restrictions have been lifted or if the situation allows. I hope our members can be involved when we start looking for a venue. It will be our home after all.

8.         At the moment, the Club has tied-up with Crown Sports, to benefit our members with discounts on Arsenal merchandise and other sporting goods. We aim to get more collaborations in future. In terms of events, we will organise interesting activities, with prizes, for our members. So far, subject to confirmation, we intend to organise virtual runs, Fantasy Premier League games, FIFA video games competitions, Zoom meetings with Arsenal players, guerrilla events, among others. I am confident that you will continue to give your immense support in the activities organised by the Club. This season, we will implement an incentive system to reward our participating members throughout the season. More details will be provided through our social media platforms, i.e., Facebook and Instagram. Please join these platforms if you have not done so, to avoid missing out on our exciting random activities!

9.         The season opener on 12 September 2020, is against Fulham at 7.30pm. So  before kick-off, we intend to hold an ad-hoc online event to commensurate the new SEASON! Please do look out for the details via our social media platforms!

10.      I also look forward to receive any views, suggestions and thoughts from you.

 

Best Wishes for 2020/2021

11.      Now that we’ve got Arteta, let us hope that he can bring Arsenal to greater heights for this coming season. I look forward to seeing you in the near future and let us have a wonderful season ahead! Finally yet importantly, please do your renewals and recommend Gooners you know to sign up as members. Together, we will make our Club the best in Singapore!

Administrative Issues

12.      We are presently experiencing technical issues with our renewal platform, https://members.arsenalsingapore.com/V2/membership. If you experience any technical difficulties and unable to renew at $30, please email to enquire@arsenalsingapore.com, for an offline process.

Hello Singapore Gooners,

In 4 days, The Arsenal goes to Wembley again. Now let’s put a smile on that face 🙂
 
Lots of transfer buzz is circling the club. Arteta has only been our coach for 8 months and already he’s linked to at least 11 players and counting. Who will we sign besides Willian? #AnnounceAnyone
Here are your updates for this week.
 
1. Membership renewals and new sign-ups
 
Heads up on this. Starting 1 Sep 2020, we will resume our membership renewals and new sign-ups for the new season. You can do so via our online portal and payment can be made via credit/debit card immediately. No increase in fees – still the same pricing since 2007!
Your membership card will be mailed to your registered address in our database. 
 
Stay tuned to find out what is our renewal gift. It’s yellow…. and bruised! LOL
All will be revealed on 1st Sep.
 
This link for membership renewal will only be active from 1st Sep onwards: https://members.arsenalsingapore.com/v2/membership 
2. Arsenal SG Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2020
 
We will be holding our AGM on Saturday 29th August, 10pm via Zoom online. This will be on the same night as the Arsenal v Liverpool Community Shield match at 11.30pm (yes, this Saturday!)
This is our first virtual AGM due to current Singapore government restrictions but the show must go on. Exco will review our achievements and activities and reveal plans for the new season ahead. We hope to see our members attend this year’s AGM.
We have 3 Exco members leaving us: Chin Hui, Shakin and Pete. They have worked hard for approx. 3 to 7 years and contributed their blood, sweat and tears to the Club. We thank them for all their contributions!
Most importantly, I believe we may have found a new President to lead this club forward. Find out who this person is during the AGM as well as the line-up of the new Exco team.
I will still be around but that’s it from me and my contribution as Interim President. Next week’s newsletter will be from the New Prez.
Don’t forget, The Arsenal v Liverpool, Community Shield match on Saturday 29th August, 11.30pm. COYG!!!

Victory Through Harmony
