LIVING ISLANDS MOVEMENT AGM AND GARDEN PARTY

Living Islands Movement (LIM) is entering the new year with a watching brief on three significant initiatives: the proposed artificial islands near Kau Yi Chau, the development of 1,000 hectares for recreational use on South Lantau, and the South Lantau sewerage scheme.

You can learn more about these projects, and how LIM is proposing to respond to them, at the group’s Fundraising Garden Party in Wang Tong on March 18. Meanwhile, LIM is holding its AGM on February 11 at Good Old Soil in Mui Wo. Headed up by new LIM chair Louise Preston, the meeting will include a brief update on current and forthcoming issues, as well as the chairman’s and treasurer’s reports. LIM is currently looking for volunteers and everyone is invited to attend the upcoming meetings, and commit to working on the challenges and opportunities facing South Lantau.

Virtual Golf In Db North

Anew addition to DB North Plaza, The Golf Bay provides a unique virtual golfing experience, allowing players to perfect their technique and even play 18 holes. The venue’s technologically advanced simulators, designed by Foresight Sports, use three high-speed cameras, which capture everything from posture and swing to the length of your drive. State-of-the-art software replicates some 30 golf courses, from Mission Hills in Hainan to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, immersing players in real-life scenarios as they work on improving their game.

Cost-effective training packages are on offer, and The Golf Bay also partners with golf coaches, with one-hour individual lessons and group lessons available for kids as well as adults. There are two bays: Bay 1 for left- and right-handed players and Bay 2 for right-handed players only. To learn more and book a bay, visit www.thegolfbay.hk. [PHOTO BY Raphael Blet.]
