20,000 TO ATTEND WONG TAI SIN SHOWS
More than 20,000 school children in the Wong Tai Sin area will
attend two variety shows in the Morse Park open-air theatre on July 20
and 21 as part of the Social Welfare Department's summer recreational programme.
The shows, called respectively "Children's Night," and "Youths
Night," have been organised by the Cultural and Recreational Committee
of the Wong Tai Sin Community Centre.
The auditorium of the theatre seats 10,000, and applications make
plain that every seat will be taken up.
The programme on both evenings will last two and a half hours,
including folk
beginning at 8 o'clock, and will comprise ten items
songs, instrumental music, drama, Chinese boxing, folk dancing and a
lion dance.
Mr. Li Yiu-bor, Committee President, will attend on "Children's
Night," deliver a short address, and present souvenirs to performers.
Mr. Kwok Ka-chi, Principal Social Welfare Officer, Group and Community
Work Division, will officiate on the other night.
Since it was set up in 1968, the Committee
consisting of
representatives from more than 80 primary and secondary schools in the
area has been actively engaged in promoting cultural and recreational
occasions for young people in Wong Tai Sin.
