Thank you to the members and sponsors who contributed to the
raffle prizes for this year’s Staff Spring Dinner. The dinner was a
great success as can be seen from the photographs on pages
60 - 61. I am happy to advise members that no sharks were
harmed in the preparation of the dinner.
Yoga’ which is a dynamic system of yoga practice and is suitable
for beginners and more experienced students alike. Please
contact the F&B Department for bookings. These classes are
open to non members as well—so members you are welcome to
bring their friends along.
As the weather has improved after the cold and wet spring, I am
pleased to inform you that the Summer Menu is now available.
Upcoming food events start on 11 May with the Mother’s Day
Buffet which includes a glass of Astoria Pink and a gift for Mother.
Due to repeated misuse of the disabled parking spaces by
able-bodied drivers, the General Committee have voted to fit
barrier posts on the two disabled parking spaces. Members with
disabled parking stickers on their vehicles should ask the security
guard to unlock the barrier as they enter the Club.
For the other half of the family, the Father’s Day Buffet is on 15
June and the cost also includes a gift and, for a table of four, a
sampler of the Whisky Flight. The Whisky Flight, comprising three
drams of 12-year-old Highland Park, Cutty Sark and Macallan,
has proved very popular—as I suspected when I assisted in
the tasting and quality control. For those of you who enjoy a
change from lager, we now have London Pride on tap in the Bar
and a range of Bath Ales in bottles. The new wine list has been
launched which includes a vintage red Bordeaux, red and white
Burgundies, as well as red and white Rhone wines.
Unfortunately, I have received several complaints regarding
member’s dogs running free in the Club. I must remind members
that HHYC is one of the few Clubs in Hong Kong that allow
members to bring their dogs with them and that club rules state
that dogs must be on a lead at all times and not left unattended.
Hong Kong Law states that no dogs, except guide dogs, are
allowed to enter food and beverage outlets and this is why we
do not allow dogs on the balcony. Dog owners should please
observe these rules for the sake of all members.
Yoga classes have commenced on Tuesday mornings in the
Garden Bar. Francesca Giacomelli will be teaching ‘Ashtanga

The recent event where an able-bodied driver verbally abused a
General Committee member when asked to move his car from
the disabled parking space was discussed at the last GenCom
meeting and further action, leading to the member having their
membership suspended from the Club for a period of time, may
be taken against the member. I wish to advise members that
verbal abuse against a club employee or Committee Member is
grounds for receiving a suspension from the Club for a period of
up to six months.
