When word was sent out that help was needed to man game stalls at a local Oktoberfest, RAC Temasek members were rushing in to volunteer!
Jointly organised by the Rotary clubs of Tanglin, Queenstown, Singapore North, Bugis Junction, Singapore Centennial & Garden City, this was a local version of the popular german beer festival, held at the exclusive Tanglin Club on Friday 29th September, 2006.
The highlights of the evening includes an authentic German/Bavarian Feast coupled with music by an authentic German-Swiss-Austrian Country live band called "The Alpiners". This unique band is made up of 14 top executives, investment bankers, librarians and scientists (including 2 german rotarians) all working in Singapore who were brought together by their passion for playing in a brass band after office hours.
While the original volunteer from Temasek included 9 members, only 6 were required. Our lucky representatives were Jayne Seet, Forrest "the funman" Chan, Olisa Molokwu, Zeeshan, Kelly Lim and Shilpa Sehgal (representing RAC Bombay West).
Our team had fun manning a perculiar german hammering game and a ball throwing game. The food spread was amazing, including a sumptious apple strudel dish that was snapped up so quickly that Jayne, Olisa and Shilpa resorted to being content with only eating the cream - er no, custard.
Great fun! This event deserves a big Temasek -HOO!
