It was an eventful Friday afternoon on 30 March 2012 when staff from Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ Bank) came to the RDA Centre. After hearing more about what RDA does, the volunteers were introduced to Watercolours, the RDA horse ANZ Bank has generously chosen to sponsor.

Equipped with masks, gloves and cleaning supplies, the volunteers then split into groups to dust the stables and clean the fence around the perimeter of RDA’s compound. It was tough and tiring work but the volunteers were ready and raring to go.

Their time and effort certainly paid off; the stables and fences look so much better!

Thank you ANZ Bank for your support. We look forward to seeing you again at the RDA Centre!

The RDA Dinner and Dance night was held on 14th May, 2011 with a Back to School theme. Everyone enthusiastically participated in dressing the part! There were naughty and nice school girls, professors, Pink Ladies and T-Birds, and even a group from the Singapore Reform School for Old Fart Offenders. Everyone was greeted at the door with free flowing champagne, wine and beer, which continued all night long. Eugene Yong, the honorary Chairman of the RDA started the evening with a moving speech about a few of the riders, their backgrounds, and how they have benefited from their time with the RDA. The buffet was then opened with amazing dishes from all around the world, starting from Thai salads all the way through to European fish and chips. After the feast, the MC began the auction bidding wars. The highlight of the evening was a Vespa painted by artist Sakwut Wisesmanee that auctioned for S$15,000.00!

With four names races on the cards, the day was sure bet!

After a short speech by RDA’s own Chairman, Eugene Yong, the  races began!

First up was the ‘Forget-me-not-stakes’, closely followed by the British Association Gallop with the ANZA Action Cup not far behind! The RDA Cup finished the line up straight after afternoon tea was served. The ladies were glamorous in their posh frocks and the gents queued to place their bets.

Fun was had by all as well as raising much needed cash for RDA and its beneficiaries.

Thank you to all our guests for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

RDA held its annual Flag Day on 22nd January 2011. With over 2800 students shaking tins and collecting donations on behalf of RDA, 81 volunteer collection Centre Managers and 19 location around Singapore, the day flew by and soon the counting began!

Final figures are hoped to be through by Chinese New Year so we will keep you posted!
