WRAP-UP MEETING AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE

4. ON THIS BASIS, THE TIMES WHEN LADY CAITHNESS WOULD BE FREE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT PERIOD WOULD BE THE MORNING OF TUESDAY, 18 SEPTEMBER (UNTIL 11.30AM) AND THE WHOLE AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER. NATASHA IS KEEPING HERSELF FREE ON TUESDAY MORNING TO DO THE THINGS SHE AND LADY CAITHNESS DISCUSSED WHEN THEY MET. BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SPEND MUCH TIME WITH LADY CAITHNESS ON THURSDAY SINCE SHE HAS A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WHICH CANNOT BE MOVED. WE CAN HOWEVER ARRANGE CARS FOR SHOPPING AND ANYTHING ELSE LADY CAITHNESS WANTS TO DO THAT AFTERNOON. NO NEED TO MAKE ANY FIRM ARRANGEMENTS UNTIL LADY CAITHNESS IS HERE.

5. GIVEN HER INTEREST IN HORSE RIDING, LADY CAITHNESS MIGHT LIKE TO VISIT THE POKFULAM PUBLIC RIDING SCHOOL ON HONG KONG ISLAND. THIS PROVIDES RIDING LESSONS FOR DISABLED CHILDREN, AMONG OTHERS. IF SHE IS INTERESTED, SHE AND NATASHA CAN PLAN THAT OVER THE WEEKEND IN FANLING.

6. GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF THIS IS HOW LADY CAITHNESS WOULD LIKE TO

PLAY IT.
