THE AMERICAN CLUB
JUL / AUG 2016
It is important that all Members, across all membership types, get and stay involved in the redevelopment project. This
will help ensure that the designs incorporate as much Member feedback as possible so that The Club ends up being a
transformative and user-driven space.
F&B THEME VOTING RESULTS
Thank you for taking part in our F&B concept voting exercise in April! We had nearly 1,000 Members across all membership
categories* submit their votes for their favorite concept/s.
As a quick refresher, the design team created two unique, holistic F&B themes based on Member feedback. “The American
Summer” was the lighter, brighter theme, while “The Neighborhood” was the clubbier, cozier theme.
And the results are…
The American Summer
The Neighborhood
Casual all-day dining (currently Eagle’s Nest)
Thyme
Poolside dining
HOME
The 2
nd
Floor Bar
As for the Union Bar, Members unequivocally opined that the outlet should retain its current look and feel. There was
also resounding feedback not to have booths in the design. Both these points have been passed on to EDG, our F&B
consultants, to be incorporated into the final design.

BUKIT MERAH POOL UPDATE
We’ve heard you! Thanks for all your constructive feedback. We are pleased to announce the following updates on
the Bukit Merah Pool.
When The Club’s Pool closes (date TBC), Members will be able to use the Bukit Merah Pool for lessons, swim squad
practice, lap swimming and play time. Prior to launching these facilities, we are working closely with the Bukit Merah
Pool management to undertake the following renovations:
• Property-wide spring cleaning
• Installation of water heaters and additional lockers
• Installation of a lightning alarm
• A separate entry path for Club Members with our own towel counter and pool towels
The Club will also co-review all of Bukit Merah’s pool checks to make sure the pool is up to our rigorous standards.
Additionally, because we know how important food is, we have also met with the operators of both the Kampong
Café (local) and Café Seventy (Western) restaurants to review their menus in detail and add items that are currently
popular with Members at Poolside: burgers, wraps, Buffalo wings, smoothies, ice cream and popcorn, among others.
Café Seventy will also apply for an alcohol license so that they can serve Tiger beer and house pour wines. Our IT team
will also be installing The Club’s F&B point-of-sale system at the premises so that Members can put F&B charges on their
Club accounts for added convenience.
Finally, based on Member feedback, the new swim term (starting in August) will be based on a monthly sign-up vs. a full
term. The Club’s inflatable will also be set up so that children can splash around post-lessons and have more fun at the pool.
