NEW YOUTH CENTRE FOR TAI PO
Young people in Tai Po will have a new youth centre this summer.
The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups will be building the
two-storey centre at a site next to the Tai Po public playground.
Lions International will meet the capital cost of the building.
A grant of $41,000 from the Lotteries Fund and local contributions will
help towards the cost of equipment and fitting-out works.
The new centre will provide conference rooms, assembly halls
and library facilities. Plans are also in hand to offer courses in judo,
tailoring, cookery, photography and folk dancing.
A spokesman for the Federation said that construction will soon
begin on the centre, which is designed to accommodate some 500 members,
with the target date set in July or August this year.
The Federation is at present operating a youth centre in Tai Po
in temporary premises, but the lease is expiring this month.
The new site, with an area of over 3,000 square feet, has been
granted on a Crown Land permit at an annual nominal fee of $1.
