Private gymnastic clubs offer quality programmes I WAS a member of the women's artistic gymnastics team that won the historic Team Gold at the 2005 SEA Games in Manila and I would like to help Ms Chia Tian Gei, who wrote the letter, 'Children's gym class cancelled - Continuity needed in keep-fit programmes' (ST, Feb 9). Shocked by decision to close Safra Town Club gym RECENTLY, Safra members received a letter announcing that the Energy One gym at Safra Town Club in Carpenter Street will stop operations completely from March31.

The officer set a date and time to my convenience.

ONLINE LETTERS Good signs that multi-racialism is working in Singapore ON CHINESE New Year Day, we were greeted outside church after service by a lion dance to symbolically usher in the Year of the Rat.

Arts requires less arrogance I REFER to the letter, 'Global Arts City? Only on our own terms' by Miss Faye Chiam Puay Hoon (ST, Feb 09).
