Happy New Year 2026! Our first event for the new year will be an exploratory walk from Chinatown to Little India to take in some historical sites and maybe discover something new. As its a public holiday, the city centre will be quieter, with less traffic, making the walk more pleasurable (hopefully:). At the same time its an opportunity to meet new people and chat about Life, the Universe and Everything, your new year resolutions, or just walk in silence as you wish :) Of course we will end with a meal and more chatting for those who are hungry in body and mind. **Meetup Time:** 5.30 pm -- Introductions and Orientation. **Meetup Point**: Maxwell MRT, Exit 2, Street Level. **Walk Start Time:** 5.45 pm **Late comers:** Catch up via the Live Locator on our Telegram Channel (see below) **Attire:** Dress for comfort and walking. **To bring:** A full water bottle to rehydrate and a cap in case of drizzle. **In case of rain:** the event might start later or be postponed.

Let's walk the Raffles Marina Lighthouse :-) We will have early dinner at Joo Koon followed by a walk to the Raffles Marina Lighthouse for sunset views! Built in 1994 and overlooking the Tuas Second Link – Singapore's second causeway to Malaysia, this 12 metres high icon flashes every 10 seconds with a beam that reaches 15 metres. The lighthouse is maintained by the Club and is the only lighthouse not owned and operated by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore. The beacon is a popular spot for photography groups. The lighthouse, together with the marina, has been featured on wedding and lifestyle websites and blogs. It has been described as one of the most ideal and unique venues among couples for wedding photography and nautical themed weddings. Some of these photographs have been featured on sites such as Pinterest, Flickr and on Instagram via this hashtag, #rafflesmarinalighthouse.
