"This year's Summer Youth Programme has just got off to an
early start: the first event actually took place at Tsuen Wan on 25th
June with a Fun Fair organized by the Tsuen Wan District Youth Recreation
Co-ordinating Committee. This will now be followed by a wide range of
activities of interest to all throughout the summer months until the
end of August.
"During this period some 900,000 young people are expected to
join in the activities which have been organized by a wide cross-section
of our Community. Some 30,000 volunteers are involved in planning and
running the events and programmes. I look forward to seeing some of
these in action for myself.
"Over the past months much hard work has been put into the
planning of this 1972 Programme by people from many organisations and
walks of life. And of course the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club's most
generous financial support has again enabled the programmes to be so
varied and extensive.
"I would like to express my thanks to you all and, in particular,
to wish all the young people taking part the maximum benefit and enjoyment."
Release time: 8.15 p.m.
