More than 600 cadets of the Civil Aid Services will spend this

year's Christmas at an annual camp in Fanling in the New Territories,

The mass camping, centrally organised by C.A.S. Headquarters, will

be held from December 23 to 26 at Dodwell's Ridge Camp in Fanling, by kind

permission of the 48 Gurkha Infantry Brigade.

The object of the camp is to promote comradeship among the cadets of

the 20 different units and to assess the annual achievement in the development

of leadership, team-work and initiative of the boys through various forms of

competition.

There will be a camp open day on Christmas Eve, and the opening

ceremony will be officiated by Mr. P.C. Woo, Commissioner C.A.S. at 10.30 a.m.

Various certificates, awards, medals and trophies obtained during

the year will also be presented during the ceremony.

A C.A.S. station wagon will leave the car park behind the Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office at 9 a.m. sharp on December 24 and will return from Fanling at approximately 11.30 a..
