Friday, November 9, 1973

Guests invited for the occasion include members of the Judiciary,

Palice, Fire Services and City District Officials, the Hong Kong Boy

Scouts Association, academic authorities of the Hong Kong University and

Chinese University, Kaifong leaders, social workers, educationalists and

Justices of the Peace.

The inter-institution sports meet was initiated in 1961 by a

group of magistrates who donated a challenge cup for the occasion.

"The objective was to bring together all the boys and girls under

the care of the institutions for a day of sports to develop among them

a sense of healthy competition, physical well-being and mutual under-

standing," said Mr. Leung Kai-wah, Secretary of the Executive Committee,

who is also the Superintendent of the Kwun Tong Hostel.

Since then, Mr. Leung said, there has been a zealous support and

encouragement from all sectors of the community, among them judges, magistrates,

social reformers and educationalists.

This sports meet is now held

biennially.
