WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1986
MR HU NOTED THAT A MUCH NEEDED SPORTS DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WAS SET UP IN JULY 1986 UNDER THE CENTRE AND THIS WOULD ALLOW THE CENTRE'S COACHES TO CONCENTRATE THEIR EFFORTS MORE ON THEIR MAIN OBJECTIVE, NAMELY, PRODUCING ATHLETES AT ALL LEVELS.
ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT DURING THE YEAR WAS THE OPENING OF A SPORTS INJURY CLINIC UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ORTHOPAEDIC AND TRAUMATIC SURGERY OF THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG.
+ IT IS HOPED THAT SUBJECT TO FUNDS BEING AVAILABLE, THIS WILL BECOME A FULL-TIME OPERATION IN 1987, WITH FACILITY FOR HEALTH SCREENING FOR TOP ATHLETES AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, MR HU SAID.
DURING THE YEAR, THE CENTRE HAD BEEN USED AS A VENUE BY SOME GOVERNING SPORTS BODIES FOR A NUMBER OF PRESTIGIOUS INTERESTED EVENTS. STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE HAD IMPROVED STEADILY AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE RESULTS ACHIEVED IN MANY INTERNATIONAL MATCHES, HE ADDED.
+ IN SHORT, THIS HAS BEEN A BUSY YEAR AND THE YEAR AHEAD SHOULD BE EQUALLY EXCITING,+ MR HU SAID.
