FAN LING SERVICES HUNT CLUB
The ponies raced by the H.K, Services Race Club will shortly be disposed of, and it is proposed. If r there is sufficient support, to form a Fan Ling- Services Hunt Club for service personnel and their families, possibly with a percentage of membership reserved for civilians. Shortage of Funds is the main disadvantage and it is therefore requested that all those interested will write to Capt. AW.C. Pearn, R.M., 42 Commando (Lt.), Royal Murines, Fan Ling by 15th Jan. 1947 stating if they would be prepared. to pay a subscription of either. (a) H.K. $30.00 or (b) HK. $50,00, për six months. Letters should also state whether it is considered that H.K. $2.00 per hour for hacking and H.K. $5.00 for paper-chases is. too expensive: Facilities open to members will be. hacking in good riding country, paper-chases And possibly point-to-points. Membership will be very strictly limited due to the shortage of ponies. It is stressed that this club in no way intends to function in opposition to the civilian Hunt Club, but merely as a substitute in the interim period as was the H.K... Services Raco Club merely a temporary substitute for the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
