64. Film Shows. Film shows were run at the expense of the Club once a week throughout the year for members and their families and were always well attended.

65. Sports. During the year, the Club entered a team in the miniature football competition organized by the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants' Association. A table tennis tournament was also held for members of the Club and was well supported.

66. Education. During the year under review, the Railway Club School functioned successfully. To cope with the new system of primary education introduced by the Education Department, one Special Form I class and two Junior I classes were formed in September 1963 with the elimination of two Primary I classes. There were altogether eight classes with a total enrolment of 320 pupils of 40 pupils each. Furthermore, there were no changes in the teaching staff whose enthusiasm contributed in no small measure to the success of the School. The pupils' attendance was good with an average of 98.3% and their progress in studies was very satisfactory.

67. Free tuition lessons were regularly given after school hours to the backward children. A quiet room for self-study was provided for those pupils whose home environment was not suitable for study. This extra work was voluntarily carried out by the teachers themselves.

68. Generally speaking, the health of the pupils was good. Vaccina- tions and inoculations against epidemic diseases were regularly given to the pupils by arrangement with the Medical and Health Department. |

69. Canteen Facilities. The Club's Canteen continued to provide cheap meals for the lower paid staff and to cater for large parties for Club members.

70. Other Social Activities. A picnic organized by the Club to Sai Lum Monastery at Sha Tin was held on 17th November, 1963. It was thoroughly enjoyed by the members and their families. Other social activities had to be curtailed due to insufficient funds.
