3.19. Of eight professional trainee Surveying Assistants, one resigned and two were appointed Assistant Building Surveyor. The remaining five trainees were supplemented by an additional appointment early in the year. Of these six trainees, two have now passed the Intermediate Examination of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and when they have completed four years' service will be considered for appointment as Assistant Building Surveyors. Three others passed their First Examination of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Four Surveying Assistants (Building) Class III passed the departmental examination; one, who had the requisite experience, was promoted to Class II towards the end of the year, and the other three will be promoted when they have served the required period.
3.20. Every effort is made to place professional trainees with qualified professional officers on a one-to-one basis. The close contact thus created gives the trainee valuable experience, and at the same time, he receives the necessary professional instruction in carrying out his duties in the administration of the Buildings Ordinance.

3.21. In the sporting field, a team was entered in the Governor's Seven-a-side Football Competition and did well to finish second in their section. The P.W.D. Golfing Society also continued to be strongly supported by members of the office, and many enjoyable matches were played.
