JUBILEE CELEBRATION ON CHEUNG CHAU ENDS
****
TEN DAYS OF ENTERTAINING, MEANINGFUL AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES ORGANISED FOR CHEUNG CHAU ISLANDERS TO CELEBRATE THE QUEEN'S SILVER JUBILEE CAME TO AN END TODAY.
SPEAKING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY, THE DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR THE NEW TERRITORIES, MR. JOHN TODD, DESCRIBED THE SCALE OF THE CELEBRATION AS +UNPRECEDENTED+ IN THE ISLANDS DISTRICT.
MR. TODD SAID: IT IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO FIND SUCH A RANGE OF EVENTS IN OTHER AREAS IN HONG KONG AND I AM DEEPLY IMPRESSED BY THE VERY RICH CONTENT OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE LAST NINE DAYS.+
THE PROGRAMMES INCLUDED A +KNOW ABOUT CHEUNG CHAU+ EXHIBITION, A PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION, A QUIZ AND ESSAY COMPETITION, VARIETY SHOWS, A CHINESE OPERA, A LANTERN PROCESSION AND MANY OTHER COLOURFUL ITEMS.
+THESE EVENTS HAVE PROVIDED A VARIETY OF PROGRAMMES WHICH ARE ENTERTAINING, MEANINGFUL AND EDUCATIONAL AND HAVE PROVED TO BE WELCOMED BY ALL WALKS OF LIFE, YOUNG AND OLD, HE SAID.
MR. TODD DESCRIBED THE CELEBRATION AS +AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT+ ON THE ISLAND AND SAID IT WAS SOMETHING OF WHICH THE CHEUNG CHAU PEOPLE COULD RIGHTLY BE PROUD.
HE PRAISED THE VARIOUS SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANISATIONS ON CHEUNG CHAU AND THE CHEUNG CHAU RURAL COMMITTEE FOR THEIR ZEAL, CARE AND DILIGENCE THEY HAD PUT INTO THE MANY MONTHS OF HARD PREPARATION,
