SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR SIR EDWARD YOUDĖ, GCMG, MBE, AT THE OPENING

CEREMONY OF THE SAI KUNG TANG SHIU KIN

SPORTS GROUND ON 27 MAY 1983

Mr Heywood, Sir Shiu-kin and Lady Tang, Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are very glad to be here today to mark the

completion of this sports ground which is to be named after its generous benefactor, Sir Shiu-kin Tang. Here and

elsewhere in the New Territories, Sir Shiu-kin Tang's

generous contributions to a wide variety of community and

recreational projects have given invaluable support to

Government's efforts to provide better sporting facilities

for the New Territories residents.

Sai Kung District is renowned for its picturesque landscape and beautiful country parks which have now become an important recreational asset for urban dwellers. But there is also a need to provide more active recreational facilities for Sai Kung residents themselves. With the

completion of this project, Sai Kung will have its own sports centre which can be used for football, athletic events

and other recreation activities.

It will
