Family Day,\u00a0 we did it last Sunday on March 11 and we now know we can do it even better. Up sized buffet\u00a0 of activities from guided tours to treasure hunts, to arts and crafts, haiku composing for all ages\u00a0 and nature gems for the whole family. Adults must be accompanied by children for treasure hunts!<\/p>\n

Please read handy tips<\/a> for a more enjoyable day, there will be a quiz before you can join – just kidding – but do, DO read it for safety precautions!<\/p>\n

Tours will be done differently, instead of one long guided tour, there will be 4 stations to stopover and participants may drop out\u00a0 anytime they want to sample other delights. Student volunteers will usher participants from station to station in 2 rounds of tours one starting at 9 am and the second at 9.30 am. They will also point out directions to\u00a0 those who want to return to the roundabout.<\/p>\n

Please download this map<\/a> and take note that the 4 stations covered in the route are\u00a0 group 1, group 3, group 4 and group 12. Constraint by time\u00a0 guides may not be able to cover every tomb in each group. The estimated schedule if you visit every station is\u00a0 2 hours. This is the timetable with estimated times and guides :<\/p>\n

9.oo at Sikh Station –\u00a0 introduction by Catherine (Second tour\u00a0 starts at 9.30\u00a0 am if there are more than 10 people and follows the same schedule as tour 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

a)9.15\u00a0 at group 1\u00a0 – by\u00a0 Peter (second tour eta 9.45)<\/strong><\/p>\n

b)9.50 at group 3 – by Raymond (second tour eta 10.20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

c).10.30 at group 2 – by Yik Han (second tour 11.00)<\/strong><\/p>\n

d) 11.10 at group 12 – by Charles, this last station will be capped by a short uphill (easy) to the jewel in crown Ong Sam Leong’s family grave site and group photo. ( the second tour\u00a0 eta 11.50 will be led\u00a0 Catherine and Peter )<\/strong><\/p>\n

This gives you some idea\u00a0 what some of your guides look like:<\/p>\n
