Vice Commodore's Report

ROBERT QUINLIVAN Vice Commodore At the recent AGM, I was delighted and somewhat daunted to be elected as Vice Commodore. I have been Treasurer for three years which, given my day job, was very much in my comfort zone. However, the Vice Commodore has traditionally overseen the Club's Planning and Works Committee, which is certainly not in my comfort zone. Fortunately, we have a very experienced and dedicated team on the Committee, together with the Club's project staff.

As you all know, we have many projects in progress and some highlights of in-progress projects are set out below. Some of these projects will involve inconvenience to members as access to parts of the Club will need to be restricted for a period of time. We will keep any disruptions to a minimum and ask for your patience as the projects will provide an improved Club for your benefit.

Seawall repairs Works were completed on 14 Dec 2021 which was ahead of schedule. The works were completed by Tong Kee and were within the agreed budget for the project.

Changing rooms renovation The design for our new changing rooms is complete and we are proceeding with the construction in January. Temporary changing rooms have been installed and construction, starting with the ladies, began in late December. Once the ladies’ room is complete, construction on the disabled and men’s changing room will follow. The project is scheduled to be finished by June 2022.

Air-conditioningupgrade Replacement of a significant component of our air-conditioning system is scheduled to start in January 2022. The works will mean that the restaurant will need to be closed for certain periods. The staff are working to minimise the disruption and provide alternative arrangements for members during the installation.

Boat rack safety walkways A pilot walkway will be built in early January. Subject to the design being satisfactory, the walkways are scheduled to be complete by May 2022.

Thanks to the Planning and Works Committee and the Club’s project team for a huge effort over 2021. In 2022, members will see more of the changes resulting from these and other projects which are part of the master-plan and lease renewal.

在上一次的年度大會上，我被選為副會長，既高興又緊張。在此之前，我已在本會 擔任了三年的司庫，早已適應工作。但是現在職務有變，副會長需統籌規劃及工程 委員會等事務，無疑是讓我跳出舒適圈的機會。當然，我們的委員會團隊成員都非 常有經驗、非常敬業，再加上本會的工作人員的協助，相信我們的工作將順利展開。

本會現階段已張開多個項目，接下來將重點介紹幾個主要項目。部份項目可能會造 成不便，例如會員不能進出入某些施工區域。這些工程項目皆以會員的福祉出發，本 會將盡最大努力將不便減少至最低，請各位會員諒解！

海堤修理工程 工程已於2021年12月14日完成，比原訂日期提早完工。該項工程由Tong Kee負責，工 程的全部支出沒有超出議定預算金額。

本會更衣室和洗手間的翻新項目 本會已完成該項目的設計，現正展開該工程。另外，也已安裝臨時淋浴和廁所設施 供使用。從12月底開始施工，先是女洗手間，然後是殘疾人士洗手間，最後是男洗手 間。該項目計劃於2022年6月完工。

重新安裝冷氣系統 本會的餐廳將在2022年1月開始更換冷氣系統的部件，因此餐廳將在特定時期關閉 兩週。本會將盡最大努力減少對會員造成的不便，亦請各位密切留意本會發佈的最 新安排。

船架安全通道 承建商將在2022年1月初建成一條模擬通道，若設計得到委員會通過，預計工程將於 2022年5月落成。

感謝過去一年規劃及工程委員會和本會各部門同事的辛勞工作。在新的一年裡，本會 總體規劃和租賃更新將陸續完成，會所的面貌將煥然一新，更好地服務各位會員。
