REPORTS REPORTS Lisa Keatley General Manager I would like to begin by thanking all the participants, volunteers, staff and everyone who was involved in ensuring that we had yet another successful 24HR Dinghy Race and Halloween Carnival event. Looking forward, the next two months sees us move into the end of the year—mainly with preparations for Christmas and New Year activities along with a host of other dates for your diaries. Before Christmas, however, November brings us two more events which raise money for worthy causes. In aid of the Royal British Legion (Hong Kong and China Branch) and to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a cocktail and dance party will be held on 14 November in the Garden Bar. Featuring live music by Jazz trio Vossa and the Hong Kong Police Force Band, this promises to be a great event. The quiz night for Operation Santa Claus follows on 28 November and as usual we expect a high turnout for this fun evening. Chef Eric has produced a new à la carte menu featuring seasonal ingredients and while on the subject of F&B, the new members of the F&B and Event Subcommittee will be focusing on creating more events, social occasions and activities which will hopefully further enhance utilisation of our dining facilities. If any members have any suggestions of events that they would like to see, please speak to me personally or drop me a line: [email protected] 我想以「感謝」作為文章的開始,感謝所有24小時慈善小船賽 和萬聖節嘉年華活動的參加者、義工、員工和所有人士,令到 活動成功。 展望將來,還有兩個月便踏入年尾了,這意味我們要為聖誕和 新年的活動進行準備,你們也要把日子記在日程裏了。 聖誕來臨之前,11月我們將會舉行兩項籌款活動。為了協助英 國及皇家軍團(香港及中國分團)和紀念英倫戰役75周年,我 們將於11月14日在花園酒吧舉行雞尾酒會和跳舞派對。Vossa 將現場演奏爵士樂,香港警察樂隊也會獻技,肯定好戲連 場。11月28日晚將舉行 Operation Santa Claus 競賽之夜, 預計會吸引眾多參加者。 總廚 Eric 設計了一份全新的餐飲菜單,主打時令食材。餐飲委 員會和活動小組委員會的新委員將集中研究舉辦更多活動和社 交場合,希望令我們的餐飲服務和設施更上一層樓。會員們如 有任何建議,可與本人聯絡或電郵至 [email protected]。 12月的節慶活動已籌劃完畢,主要包括12月4日的傳統女士午 宴(Ladies Buddy Lunch),緊接着有12月11日的威爾斯男聲 合唱團(Welsh Male Voice Choir)以及12月13日的兒童聖 誕派對 (Kids’Christmas Party)。 我們的除夕派對主題會圍繞70年代大熱的電視劇 The Love Boat。請悉心打扮成水手來參加船長晚宴。 在此謹代表本會員工,祝願大家聖誕及新年快樂。 December’s Christmas Festivities have been planned and key dates are the traditional Ladies Lunch on 4 December, followed by the Welsh Male Voice Choir on 11 December and Kids Christmas Party on 13 December.
