Club was honoured to have individuals with esteemed profile in the guitar music scene to be our Patron and Hononary members of the club. A conferment ceremony was held on 22 April 2006 with the assistance and advice of our alumni Bertrand Lim. For the ceremony, Mr Alex has kindly donated his collection of photographs of the Niibori Orchestra and a signed posted of himself. During the ceremony, Mr Alex was presented with a Ukulele Guitar signed by TPGC members. Also during the ceremony, Mr Alex presented some of his personnel collection of music books to TPGC.
