As usual, things get underway with the Autumn Regatta that will be held on 10 and 11 September. Sign-on will be on the day and if you would like to volunteer for the regatta please contact the Sailing Office. It was a busy summer on all fronts for the Club – while a lot of results and reports are still coming in, to pick The Bridge a few highlights: Congratulations to all members of the Shark squad who competed in overseas events, notably Duncan Gregor who came 3rd in the Senior Fleet of the Volvo Gill Optimist British National and Open Championships. Congratulations also to two junior rowers, Kenny Liu and James Wong, who represented Hong Kong to race in the Asian Cup winning three gold medals between them. It should also be noted that Hong Kong also won the overall ASAF Youth Sailing Cup 2015/16 Series taking home the trophy for the second year running! This success in both of our core sports is a testament to the focus the Club is placing on the next generation of sportspeople – hopefully we’ll be seeing a number of them in action at the Tokyo Olympics and beyond. Commodore Robert Stoneley As a reminder of the Club’s heritage and role in developing our sports, a team of veteran Club members, 會長史東禮 including Club Vice Patron Bob Wilson and a number of other past rowing captains, staged a reunion row-past during Henley Royal Regatta to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first Hong Kong crew to compete at this prestigious event. Work on the Kellett Island Development Project has made good progress and the superstructure of the ‘East Wing Extension’ (over what was the Waterside) is now complete, with the topping out ceremony to be held this month. The windows and window frames will now be installed and the internal walls will be up by mid- October. Subject to government approvals, we are scheduled to open this building in January. As well as housing the new, enlarged gym and indoor children’s playroom, it will ultimately house the relocated bowling alley and bar; in the short term though, we will use the bowling alley area as a temporary casual dining venue while work on the Bistro takes place.
