The Thoughts of the Chairman Dear Members, John J Shanahan, Chairman We had another successful HKFC Citi Soccer Sevens last month, with some top level international matches being played and world-famous stars from past and present interacting with the spectators in the Infield. We hosted the Asian Rugby Championship match between Hong Kong and Malaysia on 26th May, and we will also be playing host to the Hong Kong versus South Korea match in that competition on the 2nd June. So, come down and enjoy some first-class rugby action on the day(s). On the non-sporting front, you will see that more signage and artwork has gone up on the Second Floor. Remedial work is also being undertaken by the Contractor to sort out a number of defects, such as water seepage at the ceiling of the Chairman’s Bar. I should flag here that the Back of House Staff, in particular the Chef’s Brigade, have been working diligently to ensure that everything is up to standard. However, as with many other places in Hong Kong at the moment, we are suffering from a citywide shortage of Food and Beverage Staff. We are, at the time of writing, thirteen chefs short of establishment. The old adage that a duck seems to be gliding along on the water, but underneath is paddling away like mad, seems to be an appropriate analogy. We are actively looking to recruit more Chefs, but please have some patience if your order is not being processed as fast as you would like. The General Committee Working Group dealing with the Government proposals on Private Recreational Leases, are also putting together our submission to the Government appointed Task Force on Land Supply. The focus of these submissions will be different, and the Working Group is putting together vital information to support our arguments concerning our premises, alongside a public relations company that we have engaged to help us present our case in a targeted manner. I will keep you all informed of progress as time goes on.
