Press positions are shown on the Sketch Plan.
Press Position "A" is on the pier-head. Photographers will have priority. From this position, they can take pictures of H.R.H. being rowed ashore. After Her Royal Highness has walked down the jetty towards the village, press representatives using Position "A" will board a waiting junk, which will then stand off the houseboat.
Press Position "B" is primarily for photographers. From this static position, they will get pictures of the Princess walking down the narrow village road.
Press Position "C", also a static position, is sited outside the Fishermen's Children's School. There will be children in the area. Her Royal Highness will enter the school for a few minutes. An official G.I.S. photographer will be inside the premises and photographs taken will be freely available as soon as possible afterwards. The Headmaster of the School, Mr. Yau will be available to brief reporters on his conversation with the Princess.
After leaving the school, Her Royal Highness will walk along a very narrow road to the home of the fisherwonan. It is regretted that presamen will not be permitted to be present, due to limited space inside the hut and the awkward terrain. Official reporting and photography inside the hut will be undertaken by G.I.S. staff and official pictures will be issued afterwards.
Reporters and photographers using Press Position "C" will also be able to see and photograph H.R.H. getting into the sampan which will ferry her to the house-boat. Photographers will also obtain excellent pictures of the moving sampan with the huts on stilts in the background. Photographers may find it useful to bring along telephoto lens
if they are choosing Press Positions "A" or "C".
