SPORTS EXHIBITION FOR HONG KONG

Delegates from Japan, the Philippines and Singapore will attend

a sports conference organised by the Amateur Sports Federation and Olympic

Committee of Hong Kong in the City Hall on Saturday (November 18) afternoon.

The conference will deal with sports facilities now available

in Hong Kong and the uses to which they are put, including sports and

recreation programmes which are now carried out for the benefit of the

public.

In connection with the conference, the Urban Services Department

will stage a small Recreation and Amenities Exhibition in the City Hall's

Low Block.

The Chief Justice, Sir Ivo Rigby, will officially open the

exhibition which will be on display to the public free of charge from

11 a.m. to 7 p,m, of the same day.

A spokesman for the Urban Services Department said today: "The

purpose of the exhibition is to give people some idea of the range of

sports facilities administered by the Recreation and Amenities Division."

There will be photographs of existing sports facilities,

together with a chart illustrating their growth over the past years.

"In addition," he continued, "there will be models of future

projects such as the Kai Tak Fast Indoor Games Hall, the Kowloon Indoor

Stadium, the Ho Man Tin Stadium, the Causeway Bay Sports Training Centre

and Valodrome and the Kowloon Park Chinese Garden,"
