URBCO LAUNCHES YOUTH WEEK
A full programme of entertainment organised by the Urban Council
for llong Kong's young people at the start of their summer holidays begins
tomorrow (Sunday).
Called the "Urban Council Youth Week," the programme contains
137 well-chosen items as a "kick-off" to an even bigger summer youth programme
which will last three months.
The activities planned for the Urban Council Youth Week are
based on well-established items, but include some new ones in areas where
it is desirable to achieve a balanced approach.
Aside from variety and film shows, band concerts and swimming
courses, there will be football, volleyball, table tennis, cycling,
basketball and roller skating competitions and handball demonstrations.
The Youth Week will be officially launched tomorrow (Sunday)
by lir. Peter P.K. Ng, chairman of the Urban Council's Entertainments and
Advertising Select Committee, at a ceremony in Victoria Park.
The opening ceremony will be followed by a variety show featuring
local singers and artistes, including Margaret Miller, Wong Tin-lai, and
Chung Ding-dong.
Note to Editors:
You are invited to have the opening ceremony covered. It will take place at 8.30 p.m. tomorrow (Sunday) at the No. 1 football pitch in Victoria Park.
