Line up for charity fun race

It is almost that time of year again. We are now calling for teams to come forward to register for the 23rd Annual Matilda Bazaar and Sedan Chair Race in aid of local charities.

This race has now become an institution on the Hong Kong fund-raising calendar.

Last year's event raised over $2 million, all of which was distributed among local charities. This year we hope to do even better.

The 1997 race will be held slightly earlier this year, on Saturday, September 27.

The date has been brought forward so as to fall within the Hong Kong Tourist Association's (HKTA) '100 Days of Wonders' campaign.

With the HKTA's promotional backing, we expect a record turnout of spectators on the day.
