No.34 September 1992- CUHK Newsletter- Interested in Cricket? Come Join the CUHK Cricket Club The Chinese University of Hong Kong Cricket Club has recently been established to promote the game of cricket at the University. The club is seeking members interested in any aspect of the game and previous cricketing experience is not essential. Membership is open to all staff and graduate students of the University. The regular season will extend from October until May, and six games per season are anticipated (i.e. approximately one game every month). It is envisaged that the army field at Sekong will serve as the venue for the club's 'home' matches. Regular practice sessions will also be held on campus and, at some future juncture, it is hoped to include in these sessions an informal coaching component for those less familiar with the game. The club has purchased a set of playing equipment and, in order to offset this cost, full membership fee has been set at HK$500 (graduate students $250). A modest match fee will be payable by playing members at each game. If you are interested in joining the CUHK Cricket Club, or require further information, please contact one of the following: Tel.

Reuse Old Envelopes Don't Throw Them away The Business Section of the University Bursary calls upon all academic and administrative units to reuse old envelopes, especially brown envelopes. Here are some tips for reusing envelopes on the campus: • When anything is sent to you in such envelopes, open the envelopes carefully so that they can be kept neat and tidy for future use. • Store them in a handy place for reuse. • When you put down the name and address of the addressee on an envelope, make sure they, do not occupy excessive space. Try also to start writing from the top left comer of the envelope. • If the face of an envelope is fully written, stick a blank sheet onto the surface for writing new addresses. Remember, your cooperation will help save natural resources as well as University expenses on stationery. 3
