required for the gathering are provided by Bishan Community Club. The
gatherings are open to all, and they are free of charge. After the gathering,
participants can bring home their own writings or exchange them with the works
of fellow participants.

order to improve the standard of calligraphic writing of its members, the Club regularly invites famous calligraphers to give talks on calligraphy, organizes overseas trips for members so that they can learn and exchange experiences with
other calligraphers. The Club also organizes Calligraphy Exhibitions.

The participants need only to pay for their own art works’ scroll, as other
expenses are fully paid by the Bishan Community Club. Only its members can
participate in the exhibitions.
