Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!! It was a truly festive occasion when hundreds of campers and companions headed to The Repulse Bay on Thursday 22nd December.

The Camp Quality annual children’s Christmas carnival at The Repulse Bay was a huge success this year with over 250 campers, companions, and volunteers attending our Christmas party.

The Children's Christmas Carnival is always our last children's event for the year and this year’s Carnival proved a major success. Our kids, some of whom spend months, even years in hospital while receiving treatment for cancer, look forward to this major event so very much. Children both in remission and in between treatment were all invited to the Repulse Bay for this very special event.

This annual event is a joint project, generously supported by Martyn Sawyer and his team at The Repulse Bay. Once again a large number of our devoted and dedicated companions were present, many having taken the day off work to attend our event. This year a wonderful group of young rotaractors from various secondary schools helped us with six exciting games-stalls. The other fun activity booths were provided by D! Concept and The Repulse Bay supplied the festive catering.

We also had an obstacle course bouncy castle, a martial arts demonstration, a musical performance, and for the first time real snow!

In addition, there was a huge garden filled with gifts of all sizes for every camper to redeem. All this and much more kept the children very entertained and amused during the party.

Santa Claus was, as always, a great hit with the campers. PP Ramesh Chugani worked his magic playing Santa yet again.

A special word of thanks must go to Mrs. Judy Mui who has always been a strong supporter of our charity. Our sincere thanks to you for arranging the three EEG artists to come and perform for the children and also for donating 300 film tickets for the campers to see the new EEG movie! You’ve helped add smiles on these children’s faces seeing their local idols and the happiness and excitement around was contagious!

Special thanks also to Annie Chan who, as well as being the Marketing Manager at The Repulse Bay, is also a lovely lady with a big heart. Thanks for all the help you’ve given us with the planning of our Christmas party every year. You make our task even easier - Thanks Annie!

Mr. Martyn Sawyer, what can we say! Our annual Christmas Carnival is such an important celebration and a very special and fun event for both campers and companions alike. You have helped us tremendously by providing us with an amazing venue each year, which in turn brings some very happy moments for our campers. It’s our privilege to work with you and everyone at The Repulse Bay and we are so proud of your support and friendship throughout the past four years. Once again on behalf of us all at Camp Quality, thank you so much!!

Finally to all our companions, supporters and volunteers and anyone we’ve missed out, THANK YOU!! Without your contributions there would be no Camp Quality!

Happy New Year to you all & See you all in 2006!!
