Message from YSG Chairman (April 2011)

Hong Kong Open Indoor Rowing Championships & Charity Rowathon 2011
Hong Kong Open Indoor Rowing Championships & Charity Rowathon 2011 was held on 20 March 2011 at Kowloon Park Indoor Court. This is the fifth year in a row for YSG to participate in the Rowathon. This year, YSG formed a strong team of 10 young members. They are Jerry, Jeff, Gigi, Ryan, David, Vincent and Keith. During the competition, the team was able to demonstrate our excellent team work and strength. The team tried their very best and had a pretty good performance on the day. Thank all for your effort.

Also thank YSG team, Carmen Wong and our Photographer Simon for his support to the activities.

Career Talk at The University of Hong Kong
YSG was invited by the Surveying Society of The University of Hong Kong and held a career talk for them on 15 April, 2011. We started with a brief introduction on the HKIS history, organization structure and the roles of surveyors under six divisions. We then divided into small groups for further discussion so that our YSG members were able to address enquiries and questions from each student. During the 2-hour event, we did not only provide latest market and industry information to the students, but also shared with them our personal experience of being surveyors. Students found our event very useful to their future career.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bette, Cyrus, Alison, David, Rex, Sylvia and Simon for their immense support throughout the career talk.
