No Pass for Youth Olympic Games Volunteers if …

Despite several reminders, many volunteers for the Youth Olympic Games have not submitted their photographs. Their names can be found in the attached list.

Please note that, without the photographs, passes cannot be prepared and issued. Without passes, volunteers will not be allowed admission to the competition venue. Therefore, volunteers who are still interested in helping at the event are advised to submit their photographs immediately to Mr Lee Thiam Poh at leethiampoh@yahoo.com.sg.

Volunteers having problems with getting their photographs taken or sending their photographs are requested to attend the photo session which will be held on Sunday 6 June 2010 at 2.00pm. Photographs of volunteers will be taken free of charge.

As there are more volunteers than required, those who fail to send their photographs by Monday 7 June 2010 will be removed from the volunteer list.

0

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) Anniversary Dinner and Dance which will be held on Saturday 19 June 2010 at Suntec International Convention Hall receives overwhelming support from affiliate members and well-wishers.

The organizers’ target of 100 tables was reached on 26 May 2010 when Megaforce Taekwondo purchased the 100th table for the function with the ‘we are family’ theme.

Yes, taekwondo family members have shown tremendous support for all activities organized by the STF and it certainly presages well for the future of the organization.

Now the organizers are looking forward to surpassing its target and encouraging those who have not bought the tickets to do so in order not to miss the color, excitement and festivity of the evening. As the function hall can accommodate a maximum of 110 tables, the STF urges members to pick up the tickets from the Secretariat before they run out.

The program for the evening starts at 6.30pm with a cocktail reception and includes imaginative games, sensational entertainment and attractive prizes.

STF President Milan Kwee said: “I am delighted to learn that we have hit the 100 mark and would like to thank one and all for their support and contribution to the event.”

Thank you all indeed. The STF cannot make it without you. See you at STF greatest gathering ever for such function.  

Family Performances Receive the Loudest Applause

The National Taekwondo Poomsae Championships staged on 22 and 23 May 2010 would be remembered for the family event. The event was introduced to encourage families to train together and compete together. The primary aim was to foster family bonding.

When the first family took to the arena, the attention was drawn to the performance of the father and child. Both were yellow belts and they synchronized well to reveal the amount of effort they had put in training together.

Eight families were shortlisted for the finals. On the recommendation of the President of Singapore Taekwondo Federation, all were awarded medals in recognition of their efforts, performances and sporting spirit.

The title for the inaugural family event was captured by Lee Thiam Huat and his daughter, Lee Yan Ting.

The organizers were pleased that the event attracted a record number of 1,164 participants.

All the results for the competition are attached.

For the division, Temasek had to be satisfied with the 2nd position with 67 points. Jurong Junior College with 42 points finished third followed by Victoria Junior College with 39 points.

Temasek Junior College proved that it had the best female contestants by dominating the female division with its outstanding performances and collecting 104 points – 56 points ahead of second placed Jurong Junior College. Hwa Chong Institution with 39 points came in third. Victoria Junior College with 38 points took the fourth spot.

For the event, two special prizes were awarded. Celestine Lee of Hwa Chong Junior College was voted the best coach while Jurong Junior College was presented the Most Improved Team trophy.
