CIVIL AID SERVICES PARADE AND OPEN DAY
Members of the Civil Aid Services will have a busy day to-morrow
(Sunday, December 3).
They will be holding their Annual Field Day Parade at the
Government Stadium in the morning starting at 9 o'clock to be followed
by the open day of all unit/zone headquarters and training centres in
the afternoon.
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, will begin the day's
programme by inspecting some 3,000 officers, members and cadets drawn
from various C.A.S. units.
This will be followed by a demonstration of rescue techniques,
including a simulated mountain rescue operation when four C.A.S. mountain
rescue members will descend from a rope from a helicopter hovering 100
feet above the stadium.
In the afternoon, all unit/zone headquarters and training centres
will hold their open day and members of the public will have a chance to
see for themselves the various activities, equipment and facilities of
their local 0.A.5, unit.
In addition, the Yuen Long Warden Zone will be conducting a
new member recruitment campaign which will be held at the Yuen Long Town
Hall.
To attract more young people to join the unit, C.A.S. wardens
and rescuers will put on a first aid and rescue demonstration at 3.15 p.m.
C.A.S. cadets will also perform an Indian Dance to entertain the guests.
