I sincerely hope all members had a pleasant festive period and
are ready to tackle the New Year.
The F&B department have discontinued the Tandoori Nights on
the third Friday of each month, and instead will have ‘Theme
Nights’. In January, the Theme Night will be Singaporean
food for the buffet and, in February, it will be Chinese food to
celebrate the Lunar New Year. Curry Friday will continue to
be held on the first Friday of each month. The annual Burns
Supper will be held on 23 January 2015.
A new members’ cocktail evening was held in December and
the Commodore awarded Long Term Membership awards to
several members. Congratulations to all the members who
received an award but most especially to Ron Jackson-Smith
for his 50-year award. Please see page 50 for photographs of
the event.
The Club’s opening arrangements for Chinese New Year
are as follows (see inside back cover page):
Wednesday 18 February 2015: Club, restaurant and upstairs
bar open 9.00am – 4.00pm
• Thursday 19 February 2015: Club closed whole day
• Friday 20 February 2015: Club, restaurant and upstairs
bar open 10.00am – 10.00pm (with the restaurant serving
a limited menu).
• Saturday 21 February 2015: Club open as usual
So please note that over the CNY holidays there will be a
reduced service on Chinese New Year’s Eve, the Club will be
closed on the first day of CNY, the upstairs bar and restaurant
will be open for a reduced service on the second day and fully
open for the third day. The Bar will be partly staffed on the
second day and members who wish to volunteer to assist in the
Bar and on the sampan can sign up on the volunteer list in the
Bar. Why not volunteer and try your hand at pouring a draft beer
or—the ever popular—operating a sampan?

One of our favourite sponsors and suppliers to the Club, San
Miguel, has lost the franchise to sell Stella Artois in Hong Kong.
As San Miguel run their stocks down, we will no longer be able
to supply it on draft. The new distributor has asked us to keep
selling draft Stella Artois but it will be difficult to as we lack
space for a cooler behind the bar. I ask members who would
like to keep it on draft to inform Henry, Michael or Edmund of
such and, should there be sufficient demand, we will try to find
a way to keep it. Meanwhile, it will still be available in bottles.
我衷心希望所有人都過了一個愉快的節慶季節，並為迎接新一
年做好準備。
In November, the Club assisted in holding a dinner to remember
the start of the First World War 100 years ago. Thanks go to
Mike Sharp for the organisation of the evening during which the
sum of over $25,000 was raised on behalf of the British Legion
Hong Kong Branch. The cheque was presented to the Legion
during the annual Welsh Choir recital.
為新會員而設的迎新酒會已於12月舉行，會長在會中頒發了

The first yacht race of the year, the Kowloon Cup, takes place
on the weekend of 17 & 18 January and will comprise an
Islands Race on the Saturday (which, if conditions allow, will be
the Charisma Cup course) and a Pursuit Race on the Sunday,
with a finish for the prize-giving and a seafood meal at Leung
Shue Wan, Yau Ley Restaurant. It promises to be an enjoyable
mix of racing and fun. The Cruiser Owners Association will be
joining in the race and Hebe Cruisers’ are encouraged to take
part. Dinghy sailors will have their first regatta at Middle Island
for Hong Kong Race Week in February.
For members who are not aware, the Charisma Cup is
presented annually at the AGM for the fastest rounding of
Kau Sai Chau island. Yachts must circumnavigate the island
and take their own start and finish times. The event is held
purely on trust and all sailing boats are eligible to enter at any
time of the year.
Wishing you fair winds, calm seas, and Kung Hei Fat Choi for
the year of the sheep!
