GENERAL MANAGER’S
MONTHLY MESSAGE
Randal Linhart
General Manager
As the saying goes, February is the border between winter and spring.
Within this month’s magazine, you’ll find some fond memories of 2
winter season activities that were good for both the Club members and
the community. Throughout the winter season, we put a toy donation
box in our main lobby, under the grand staircase. Thanks to your generous
donations, we managed to fill it up 5 times and after sorting them out,
we had enough to share with Rugby section’s donation to 270 Po Leung Kuk
children and the rest were sent in 2 full truck loads to YMCA for their
Toy Bank Programme. A new winter activity that we tried was our Party on
the Pitch, which was our new spin on the Christmas Fete. We gathered a lot
of great feedback and suggestions thanks to a survey that was sent out to
all those that attended the event, so it will be back bigger and better at the
end of this year. Indeed, the holiday season was great, especially due to the
last-minute elimination of any covid restrictions. Except the masks…
We have now entered the Year of the Rabbit and I hope you were able to
enjoy any of the Lunar New Year activities, especially the lion dance that was
at the front entrance of the club on 29th January. Also in January, we tried
to invite as many of Sportsman’s Bar’s most regular patrons to have an
advance tasting of the new menu that will be launched when our favourite
bar reopens. Don’t worry if we couldn’t fit you in. We count on your feedback
for the first few months to make sure we get it right. By now, our swimming
complex has reopened after regularly scheduled maintenance works.
February is the month of love and there are some charming Valentine’s Day
food & beverage promotions to consider. Please look out for them. There
are other promotions that are late winter trends and early spring previews,
lots to choose from, as usual. Please book early to join the Super Bowl
Breakfast down that the Sportsman’s Bar front patio on 13th February,
with the game showing on the big screen with brand new surround sound.
Finally, the Club is going social! We have officially launched our own
Facebook and Instagram pages so why not stay connected and share your
experiences and happy moments down at the Club and please don’t forget
to tag us. I might just photo bomb you in the background.
Hope to see you down at the Club soon.
