REPORTS REPORTS Lisa Keatley Eric L. Stark General Manager (Acting) After eight years away from the Club, it has been very heartwarming for me to receive such a great welcome back. A welcome both from members who I recall from my first time here and also from new members who I have since met for the first time. As mentioned in the Commodore’s article, I am very keen to obtain as much feedback as I can to assist in identifying areas that members feel could be improved upon, particularly on the events and promotions side to encourage more participation and utilization of the Club’s food and beverage operations and venues. Various ideas from barbecues to live music and quiz nights are in our planning and Chef Eric has introduced new items on his summer menu while still maintaining everyone’s old favourites. As well as the longstanding curry evening on the first Friday of the month, we have now introduced a BBQ station on the balcony on the second Friday during the summer months. On the Sail Training Centre side, we are saying farewell to Jonathan Slattery and Pearl Hansen, however on a positive note, they have both advised that they are still happy to help out on a part-time basis. We are delighted to welcome Vivian Ngan to the Sail Training Centre to replace Pearl, Vivian is an avid sailor with media experience so will also help the STCC out on their marketing and PR requirements. She has HKSF Dinghy Certificate Level 1 – 4, racing skills and day sailing certificated she has also assisted in LCSD organized regattas and is part owner of a Magic. Please join me in welcoming her as she commences in mid-July. At the time of writing, we are in discussion with a replacement for Rob Allen and will hopefully have a new Sailing Centre Manager on board in the next month or two to make the team complete. There are still plenty of spaces available on our Sailtraining Summer Courses including our fun Water Sports Adventure Week. All courses run from 29 June to the end of August so please contact the Sail Training Centre at: [email protected] if your children are in Hong Kong during this time as it’s an ideal way to have fun and learn how to sail at the same time. party will feature. As mentioned, we are still looking for a main sponsor and also raffle prize donations so if any members would like to offer either or both we would love to hear from you. I look forward to meeting everyone in the next few months, please feel free to stop by the office and introduce yourself to me.
