A note from the Chairperson:
"It has been a thrilling year to say the least. In July 2000, what began as a casual discussion on an upcoming astronomy exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, turned into the beginnings of an event that would become Astronomy 2001 Singapore.
Countless hours of discussions, of organizational planning, of logistics, of avid promotion throughout Singapore and overseas, were not only expended by the Committee, but also by the countless other individuals behind the scenes who would aid the core Committee in all matters.
It invoked the strongest commitment among the volunteers to work almost 24-7 that the event might succeed. It is because of these volunteers that the dream for the spirit of public astronomy is now a reality.
This was undoubtedly a daunting experience and a miracle for the event to have come this far. It began as a simple astrophotography exhibition, planned for a period of no more than four days; then extended to a month; finally to include several off-island camps, talks to various educational institutions, and AstroChallenge 2001.
Launching the proposal for this event without the formal backing of any registered society or organization would prove to be the Committee's greatest hurdle. Thus, it is with heartfelt thanks that the Committee expresses its grateful appreciation towards the following persons and organizations for their extraordinary leap of faith in support of Astronomy 2001.
The Committee is deeply honoured by the support of His Excellency S.R.Nathan, President of the Republic of Singapore, towards this event.
May this event be the beginning of a new era in city astronomy; in bringing the universe closer to the public, especially the youth of Singapore.
Warmest regards from the stars,
