Gym upgrade
I am sure by now everyone is aware of a poll currently going on to determine if we are going ahead with building a roof in our gym in place of the slab wall.
I hope to bring some issues with this upgrade out to light with everyone so we can all make the decision that we deem fit as best as we can.
Currently we can afford to fork out 2k for the gym upgrade by the end of this Dec. After this we have another 2.5k to settle and we should be able to raise it by the end of Jan next year, with help from everyone, as a team. So in total it is going to cost us 4.5k for the new roof.
Some of you may be aware that we are going to have a new gym built in the current varsity gym when the new university town is up and running. However the construction of this new indoor gym will only start when the current SRC office is relocated to a new building that is going to be built at the current SRC car park. The climbing wall that is going to be build in the university town is only for high wall and it will only start next year, with no exact date given.
What I am trying to say from all the yadayada above is this, it would probably take much longer than the stated 2 years for everything to be completed. This is especially evident with our current car park, with no sign of the new building in place. 3 years seem more likely, everyone agrees?
It effectively means that we are going to have the new roof for our year 1s in the team to use all the way to their graduation. This means that if we do managed to get it done, this current batch of NUS climbing team will be leaving something behind in the legacy.
Some may question if the money would be put to better use if we do not get the upgrade. I say no. And this is why. The strongest and latest argument against the upgrade is we will tear it down in 3 years time, and so if this is what we all agreed on, then nothing will be done with the money we raised thus far because everything will be considered short time. Simple.
Now let me talk about one other issue with the upgrade if it does get the go ahead after the poll. Dirty work aka sai kang. Jups wants the construction to start on the 7th, which means we have to take down the slab work latest by the 6th, and yes, we need to take it down ourselves. After the construction, we have to clean it up etc etc, all the usual sai kang that we have done and can think of. So once again, we need to work as a team, like the raising of the remaining 2.5k, we need to utilize everyone's help again.
The message is clear, we can go ahead with the project, face everything, good or bad as a result of it together as a team. Or, do nothing and just wait for the new gym to be up, and use it as a DINO.
Sorry for any bad english because I suck at it but hopefully it does enough to get my message across! Thanks for reading the uber long post
