We have a new Acting General Manager, Lisa Keatley, to whom we would all like to extend a warm welcome back to the Club—after eight years away. We also have a few long-term staff members leaving, Rob and Shelia Allen, and Nicole Ng from the PR Department, we wish you all the best. With summer now in full swing there are more recreational activities out on the water and it’s more important than ever before that people remain aware of marine safety. In this issue of Hebe Jebes, we take a look at the vital role the Hong Kong Marine Police play in keeping our waters safe on page 36. How yesterday’s chips help lift your boat—on page 31 we look at how old cooking oil from the clubhouse kitchen is recycled into biodiesel—and used to help fuel both the Club forklifts and sampans. Find out about new Dragons ahoy on page 12. Check out the coverage of Hebe Open Summer Regatta, held on 30 and 31 May, which saw over 100 entrants out on the water—a Club record. The ABC Classic Yacht Rally on page 26 and even the 64th East Kowloon Brownie Pack get a look in on page 34, who benefited from a knotting demonstration. Don’t forget to keep your stories coming in.
