Dear Members,
On behalf of The RBSC and The RBSC Polo Club, I wish to extend our best wishes to Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on the auspicious occasion of her 70th Birthday on the 2nd of April.
We are excited to announce progress wherein the Club has been granted approval to proceed with the Old Clubhouse (Verandah) project. The next step ahead is obtaining construction permit approval and to open the bidding process for the primary contractor and interior designer. The Working Group looks forward to announcing the commencement of construction by August 2025, as estimated, and only upon the construction permit being granted. On behalf of the General Committee and the Working Group, I would like to inform members that every volunteer, management and professional party involved has done their best to propel this project ahead with transparency and with the best interests of the Club in mind, and will continue to do so moving forward until completion.
On the 28th of March, the Club faced the tragic earthquake situation along with other areas around the city and beyond. Following the tremors, the Club Management and the Facilities & Maintenance team immediately conducted preliminary safety inspections of all buildings of the RBSC and the RBSC Polo Club to ensure there were no signs of imminent danger or damage affecting the structural safety and integrity of the buildings. Currently, all facilities remain safe and secure for use and the Club has since opened all services to members as per normal operational hours. Please be rest assured that the Club will continue to put member safety as our priority.
In other current and ongoing news updates, the Club recently created a new group at the Club called the "Senior Group" which consists of 14 senior members and with their first kick-off meeting in late March. They provided beneficial suggestions and event ideas which the management will seek to bring to fruition, in particular, health and wellness sessions, along with specialized activities and functions. Please keep an eye out for unfolding events and gatherings in the future.
On a final note, we wish you a wonderful and safe Songkran holiday!
Pol. Gen. Visanu Prasattongosoth
