MORE SPORTS FACILITIES FOR TAKWULING
Mr. A.N. Savage, District Officer Tai Po and Lieutenant-Colonel
P.T. Bowring, Commanding Officer, second battalion 2nd K.E.0. Gurkha Rifles,
will jointly officiate at the opening ceremony of two basketball courts at
the Sing Ping Public School, Ping Che Road, Takwuling.
The ceremony will take place on Tuesday (April 10) at 2.30 p.m.
The basketball courts were built by the men of the 2/K.E.0. Gurkha
Rifles under the Army Community Relations Project Scheme.
Materials which cost approximately $8,000 were supplied by the
Education Department and District Office, Tai Po, from their local public
works funds.
The addition of the two basket ball courts at the Sing Ping School,
which is the principal venue of sports activities in the Takmuling District,
will greatly benefit the youths in this remote part of the New Territories
where sports facilities are relatively limited.
A friendly match between the Army and a local team will be played
following the opening ceremony.
