+THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE PROVIDING MANY OUTLETS FOR SPORT AND RECREATION IN THE NEW TERRITORIES - BUT IT IS UP TO ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS YOUR OWN TO SEE THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY UTILISED, HE SAID.

MR. AKERS-JONES NOTED THAT THE NUMBER OF SCHOOLS AND PUPILS TAKING PART IN EVENTS ORGANISED BY THE N.T. SCHOOLS SPORTS ASSOCIATION HAD MORE THAN DOUBLED OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

+

+THIS, HE SAID, IS A GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE EFFORTS OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR TIME AND ENERGY INTO BRINGING HEALTHY AND VIGOROUS ACTIVITY TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION. +

+THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THEIR ENTHUSIASM REFLECTS THE CONTINUING GROWTH OF THE ORGANISATION OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS AND THE INTEREST AND SUPPORT IT HAS GENERATED AMONG HEADMASTERS, TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE NEW TERRITORIES HE ADDED.
