just PMed you

[ngck12]

anyway is this trip confirmed? organiser can pm me ur number?

[tintinspartan]

Guys, the trip is confirmed but the time will be shifted to start at 1 pm. Pls note that I've considered chartering a minibus for the outing. So, the transport will cost from $100 - $150. Do you think it's worth it chartering a bus for this?

I have ran into difficulties trying to get approval from KTM about the photoshoot at Bukit Timah. So, please be patient and most likely the Bukit Timah Stop will be cancelled for now.

So, sorry for the change of plans but just recieved a letter from KTM showing that we need a letter written officially by ClubSNAP (President). So kind of in stress organising this outing.

New schedule up by tomorrow

i don't think there is a need to get a bus, i guess public bus will do fine and if the distance is short, perhaps walking mayb an option too, can get more pictures that way...rather then be limited with the bus schedule

[albertlse]

Could anyone guide me in details on how can I reach the meeting point. Btw, I am from Bedok.
Organizer, pls PM me your contact number, in case I can't get to the place.
Thank you.
