Message from the President

This year has been a year of many challenges and key changes.

To help us meet this, the gymnastics community has had to pull

together. Members of the Management Committee, the SG secretariat, judges,

coaches, gymnasts and parents as well as volunteers all played a big part in

every success and helped us achieve the desired outcomes.

As the sport continues to grow, the secretariat has had to work hard to ensure stakeholder needs are

met with the resources available. They have provided the support for our elite gymnasts at local,

national andinternational competitions, and also run continuous education programs for judges and

coaches.

They have implemented new initiatives and processes to improve the responsible management of

the sport. This includes the key appointment of Discipline Representatives to represent the

Management Committee for matters relating to all the different disciplines as well as Gymnastics-For-

All. Financial controls were improved, and a breakeven target was set for non-Sport SG funded

activities.

Through the hard work of the entire gymnastics fraternity, it is heartening to see our gymnasts make

their mark internationally. We attained our first MAG bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games

2014. Our WAG representative flew the flag at the Youth Olympic Games 2014 as she qualified for the

All-Around Finals. Our young team performed commendably on home ground for the 28th SEA Games

2015, earning 1 Gold, 3 Silver & 4 Bronze Medals.

There is much more to gymnastics than a competitive endeavour, and the sport’s mix of grace and

power was on display as we hosted the National Danish Performance Team “ORBITA” Show, a

Gymnastics-For-All highlight for 2014.

Thousands of hours were put in for the SEA Games 2015 preparations, and we are proud to have

been a part of the nation’s successful hosting of the event.

My heartfelt thanks to Sport Singapore for believing in SG and their unwavering supporting. My

appreciation goes out to the secretariat team, our sponsors, gymnasts, coaches, judges, parents, and

volunteers. And a big thank you to my fellow Management Committee members for an excellent job

done, with the unwavering support provided by our SG MC Advisor Mr Lam Poh Min. The list goes on!

The results achieved at SEA Games had proven beyond doubt that the hard work and efforts paid off,

but as with all great endeavors, we recognize more needs to be done to keep improving our beloved

sport.

I wish the new Management Committee all the best as they embark on the new journey.

Sincerely,

Goh Hwee Cheng

Marketing Report

Singapore Gymnastics has continued to embark on various marketing activities as

we believed in the benefits:

Brand Visibility on a global platform

Network and Build new relationships

Direct access for potential corporate sponsors and

Opportunites to exclusive & special coverage, features and interviews

Supporting Athletes (Through sponsorship and membership benefits)

There were five key areas that the Singapore Gymnastics continued to focused on in

FY2014:

1) Media Partnership

2) Sponsorships

3) Ticketing

4) Merchandise

5) Social Media

1. Media Partnership

Singapore Gymnastics has proactively worked with various media partners in a

variety of digital, broadcast, and print media outlets to create more awareness,

enthusiam and public support for our association and its endeavours.

2. Sponsorships

We continue to seek corporate sponsorships for our events & ensure that we

financially maintain a positive net position. Our corporate sponsors, in their tie-ups

with us, have seen the benefits of their brands being strengthened through their

active involvement in such cause or social responsibility programmes.

Such sponsorships can enhance a company’s image and visibility; differentiate the

company from competitors and help develop closer relationships with current &

prospective customers.

Page 14: About Singapore Gymnastics · FIG Academy Level 2 Artistic Gymnastics Singapore Gymnastics registered 4 Men’s artistic Coaches and 5 Women’s artistic coaches to participate in

14

Recognising the importance of such partnerships, Singapore Gymnastics continues

to engage prospective organizations where there can be a good match in terms of

branding fit and mission-alignment. And we have seen success in bringing on board

new corporate sponsors for our events.

In the last financial year, total sponsorship income received by Singapore

Gymnastics amounted to $11,000 from Singapore Press Holdings Ltd, ComfortDelGro

Corporation Ltd, NTUC Fairprice Foundation Ltd, Hong Leong Holdings Ltd, and a

personal donation by Ms Carmee Lim. Total sponsorship in-kind received amounted

to $7,800 from the 60 nights hotel rooms sponsorship from Fragrance Hotel

Management Pte. Ltd.

3. Ticketing

Total spectatorship for National Championships 2015 under cash ticket sales

increased 260% over National Championships 2014.

Singapore Gymnastics ticketing strategy relies on affordable price and accessibility

to as many people as possible. The ticket prices range from $5 to $10. Tickets

purchased online are priced slightly cheaper than tickets purchased at the door. In

addition, at each competition, Singapore Gymnastics also offers complimentary

tickets to local and international schools for their students, with the aim to increase

interest in gymnastics and to offer them a great chance to support their favourite

gymnasts.

4. Merchandise

From t-shirts, key chains, towels, and pens Singapore Gymnastics has a vast range of

gift items for our supporters to purchase at very reasonable prices. In FY2014, total

sales of Singapore Gymnastics merchandise is $933.50.

Singapore Gymnastics will continue to promote its merchandise during events and

via Singapore Gymnastics website.

5. Social Media

We know that Social Media has so many incredibly fascinating and creative uses

and platforms that it has evolved into its own industry alongside TV, Newspapers &

Videos. Our social media channels namely Facebook & Twitter, continue to serve as

part of our marketing and communication platforms to our followers. On our official

Facebook page, we have over 2300 fans who closely follow our regular news.

Our primary social media objective is to increase awareness of our gymnasts’

experiences regularly with their friends, family and supporters through these media

platforms. The importance of interacting with, not just talking to fans, is to achieve a

sustained level of engagement so that they feel part of our team and in turn

encourage many others to join.

Our weekly SG Posts continue to provide news updates to our mailing list subsribers

so that they are able to stay connected with us and keep themselves abreast of our

happenings.

National Danish Performance Gala “ORBITA”

In December 2014, the National Danish Performance Team arrived in Singapore

during its 10 month world tour to showcase “ORBITA”, a family entertainment

performance. Singapore Gymnastics presented this in cooperation with the

Embassy of Denmark (Singapore). During the 1.5 hours performance, spectators

were treated to a dazzling display of graceful movements, dynamic and energetic

sequences, imaginative choreography and powerful vaulting and tumbling by skilful

athletes.

Alongside this, the team also conducted a workshop for 100 children called “Learn

to Move”. The workshop introduced elements from the show and allowed the

participants to try the equipment from the show. The participants learnt a dance

called “We Move The World” which they performed during the main ORBITA gala.

GymFest Singapore 2014

All participants were awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze.

Nanyang & St Margaret’s both received special awards for entertainment &

creativity, and were given the opportunity to attend World Gymnaestrada in

2015.

The schools have arranged a combined performance and are registered for

World Gymnaestrada 2015 in Helsinki Finland.

The event saw a 30% increase in participants from the 2012 version, following

inspiration in the 2013 version, the Asian Gymnaestrada. The increase was due to

more and larger group performances.

2. MEMBERSHIP

Membership numbers have increased gradually over the four membership types

during 2012-2015.

With plans to accredit more coaches, judges and officials in Singapore, as well as to

improve member benefits, membership will see growth year upon year.

SG is committed to engage and encourage Registry of Societies (ROS) registered

associations or societies to be part of SG as Full members or assist special groups to

start their own society. Successful examples would include the Rhythmic Gymnastics

Association (Singapore) that joined in 2013, Trampoline Singapore that joined in 2014

and our newest full member Friends of Gymnastics, that joined in 2015.

Membership numbers as at 7 July 2015:

FULL MEMBERSHIP – 8

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP – 19

INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP - 93

ATHLETE MEMBERSHIP - 620

3. JUDGE ACCREDITATION

The total number of nationally accredited judges across the disciplines has

increased by 23% between 2014 and 2015.

Since we first stated the National Judge Accreditation in 2014, the standard and

consistency of judging at SG competitions has greatly improved. Judges who

are not gaining the experience through competitions or not attending refresher

courses are not maintaining their accreditation. Therefore the judging panels are

filled with up to date judges.

With the advancement of a number of judges from Level 1 to 2 in all disciplines,

we will rapidly approach the “ideal state” for the number of judges – which will

then need to be maintained, whilst upgrading judges and preparing them for FIG

courses in 2017 after the new Code of Points is published.

FIG Brevet judges have certain requirements to meet to be eligible for category

upgrade in the next cycle. This has been closely monitored, and judges are

being supported to meet these requirements in time for 2017 FIG courses.

4. NATIONAL COMPETITION PROGRAMME (Levels & Stages)

The National Programme (Levels & Stages) has seen a local review with coach and

judge input for WAG, MAG & RG. Updates and Clarifications have been published

on the SG website.

A more thorough review should be conducted after the Singapore Open 2015

competition in September.

5. VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers increased by 26% between 2014 & 2015. This was due to recruitment of

more Adult Volunteers, which has also helped with the smoother running of

competition. This included; parents & NYP students on event management courses.

Other Relevant Disclosures

1. Conflict of Interest

MC members are expected to avoid actual and perceived conflicts of interest.

Where MC 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 MC member to continue to

remain on the MC.

2. SG Reserve Position

As per the 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.
