Recently we have had a number of pool I look forward to seeing you all at the Club! closures which were a direct result of some “fouling” MARK PAWLEY of the water. The pools are required to be closed for General Manager a minimum four hours when this happens to allow for super-chlorination of the water, so, please do take care to ensure that children are properly clothed when using the pools and surrounding areas. I can advise that from mid-June onwards the Main Pitch in the Infield will be closed as the carpet (and infill) and shock pad layer are to be replaced. Unfortunately, as a result of a number of defects, that have occurred as regards the installation of the shock pad layer, we are having to replace the whole system. Installation, good weather permitting, should take no more than 6 weeks. At the same time (from mid-June onwards) we are intending to install a new Sports Hall flooring system. The existing system has been down since the “new” club opened some 17 years ago and it is therefore felt that we are due for a new one! The installation of the new system for the Sports Hall will take a while longer than the Main Pitch with opening meant to be around the end of August. Please note too, that as a result of a change in the Hong Kong law that vehicles parked within the Club Premises must have engines turned off. As such, an addition to the Car Parking Bye-laws has been made and this can be viewed by going to the Club website at www.hkfc.com.hk and then clicking on the Membership icon and then going to Members’ Club Magazine Jun 2012 3 4 Jun 2012 FOOD AND BEVERAGE RESTAURANT LOBSTER IS KING SUNDAY BRUNCH WITH Sustainable Succulent Live Lobsters LIVE JAZZ in the Restaurant and Chairman’s Bar in the Restaurant from 11am to 2.30pm every evening for dinner (except Sundays) from 6.30pm to 10.30pm throughout the month of June Sunday Brunch continues in June with a themed musical performance to set the mood.

Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.
