NEW LIFE SAVING ASSOCIATION PREMISES IN LANTAU
*****
NEW PREMISES FOR MUI WO, LANTAU, LIFE SAVING ASSOCIATION WERE OPENED TODAY (FRIDAY) BY ISLANDS DISTRICT OFFICER, MR NICKY LO.
THE PREMISES, COSTING $420 000, INCLUDE A TRAINING HALL AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE.
THEY HAVE BEEN BUILT ON A 112 SQUARE METRE SITE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
MR LO SAID THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT OF THE ASSOCIATION'S OFFICE BEARERS, WHOSE SIXTH TERM HE WAS INAUGURATING, WAS +MOST ENCOURAGING+.
HE SAID, SINCE SWIMMING WAS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPORTS AMONG HONG KONG PEOPLE, SAFETY FACILITIES WERE VERY IMPORTANT,
+I HOPE THE ASSOCIATION WILL EXTEND ITS LIFE SAVING SERVICES TO ALL THE BEACHES OF LANTAU AND ORGANISE MORE RECREATIONAL AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES,+ MR LO SAID.
RECENTLY THE ASSOCIATION, WITH MORE THAN 200 QUALIFIED LIFE GUARDS, BECAME A LIMITED COMPANY AND MR LO BELIEVED THIS CHANGE WOULD FURTHER FACILITATE THE EXPANSION OF ITS SERVICE,
IT IS ONE OF THE 372 MEMBERS OF THE HONG KONG LIFE GUARD CLUB
AND IT PROVIDES SERVICES AT MUT WO AND PUT O BEACHES.
THE NEW TRAINING HALL WILL ALSO BE USED AS A CANTEEN AND LECTURE ROOMS FOR LIFE GUARD TRAINEES.
THERE ARE PLANS TO EXPAND SERVICES TO OTHER BEACHES ON LANTAU, PROBABLY TO CHEUNG SHA INITIALLY.
