12.03. Many members of the staff took part in a variety of departmental and inter-departmental competitions and sporting activities. Seven-a-side miniature football had the greatest following with teams from the Waterworks, Crown Lands and Survey, and Development Offices entering competitions.
12.04. The Caroline Hill (Public Works Department) Sports Club started the 1961-62 Season in the 1st Division League of the Hong Kong Football Association in fine form. During the second half of the season however they steadily declined and with only three games left to play they were very much in the danger zone for relegation to the 2nd Division.
12.05. The Club was honoured by one of its younger players (TSE Kwok-keung) being selected to proceed with the Hong Kong Football Association Team to the Asian Youth Tournament in Bangkok.
12.06. Golf competitions also commanded the usual interest whilst Roads Office Staff took part in an inter-departmental Squash League in the early part of the year.
12.07. Chinese Dinners and Christmas Parties enabled staff to get together socially.
APPRECIATION
13.01. The responsibility for investing over $1 million per day on public works was a substantial undertaking and would not have been possible without the willing co-operation of all staff and the generous assistance of 'client' departments and all those with whom our activities brought us in contact. The overall expenditure compared with the previous year rose by 15% to $366 million. This was 38% of the total Colony expenditure whilst the number of staff was virtually the same. The task was indeed great and to all members of the Department I offer my thanks and gratitude for the most capable manner in which they co-operated to ensure successful accomplishment.
