and their families at the expense of the club. These were so well attended that sometimes two shows had to be arranged in one night.
Sport. During the year the Club entered a team in each of the Inter-Departmental miniature football and table tennis competitions organized by the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants' Association. Both the competitions were completed in a spirit of good sportsmanship and the Club also won the championship in the miniature football competition.
Education. The Railway Club School continues to flourish. It is hoped that the school can be extended to Primary 6 in the near future when funds are available. Periodic visits to the school were paid by the club committee and the work shown both by the school masters and by the pupils was most encouraging.
Canteen Facilities. The canteen organized in the Rail- way Club House was re-opened during the later part of the year and run by a new caterer at minimum expense. Cheap meals were offered to the lower paid members but were not taken advantage of to the extent expected. Light refreshments and soft drinks proved more popular.
Other Social Activities. A children's party for the children of members of the club and for the students of the Railway Club School was held on 26th January, 1956 after the school prize-giving ceremony in the Club House. Some 400 children attended this party and a very entertaining programme was performed by the school children under the guidance of the Head Master and other masters of the Railway Club School.
