HHYC HISTORY WELCOMES YOU
Introduction
Welcome to the Club history website and what we hope is the beginning of an exciting project aiming to bring our history to life.
On this site you will find previous Anniversary publications and three Timelines used to collate and display key moments in the history of the Club.
These are currently in Draft and are intended to help gather more information from our members. The timelines are currently split into three subjects- Club development, Sailing and the Sail Training Centre. We hope to bring the highlights of each of these together into a “History Wall” on display at the Club in time for our 60th Anniversary on 7th June 2023. The 7th June 1963 being the date for the Club’s Certificate of Registration, recorded under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
Hebe Jebes appeal.
Visitors to the Club Website will know that we keep back copies our Club magazine Hebe Jebes going back to September/ October Issue 2007.
We are keen to locate as many issues before that date as we can. If you have old copies, please let us know which issues we have we will endeavor to complete our library.
Timeline documents
HHYC is compiling a database of documents and photographs which tell the story of the Club's history since 1963. Since many of the Club's records have been lost, we are appealing to people with stories,photographs and other documents which might help us piece together the history of the club, its buildings, activities, boats and achievements.
The information is currently held as Timeline documents. We have split these into subjects as follows:
1. Club Development, including key events associated with Club activities.
We invite you to take a look at these documents and to contact us if you have any additional information or corrections to suggest. Together we can tell this story!
