September Food Hunt

IFG will be organizing food outings during weekends for the month of September. IFG people and other Singaporeans will accompany you to various spots of Singapore to eat food and see some sights! Because space is limited, each group can only take a maximum of 15 people, so choose an option and email us (with the subject: Food Hunt) by Friday, 1st September.

Administrative Details:

1. We are having outings every weekend. Each group can take a maximum of 15 people because of logistics. (It'll be quite hard to bring more than 15 of you around.)
2. We will be taking public transport so please bring money ($10 for food) and EZ link card (with at least $5 value).
3. Also please bring money for food. :)
4. Wear good shoes and comfortable clothing and an umbrella in case it rains.
5. In case you get lost, please contact the person in charge for each group. So please note down the contact number :)
6. Please indicate in your reply to us which option(s) you want. You can join as many groups as you want. :)
7. We will send you a confirmation email once you reply. This is on a first come first served basis.
8. Lastly, we will try our best to accomodate you but we cannot guarantee a place because we have logistic constraints. If there is an overwhelming response, we will try to find more volunteers.
