Discussion on the 11th Group Meeting on Thursday, 5th September 2013 at Landmark Seafood Cuisine
in attendance – Anthony Ho, Henry Lam, Peter Wong & Andrew Tang
with copy – Jeffrey Mah
Summary of Discussion
1) Anthony kicked off the discussion at 18:40 by saying that, with Leo Chu’s posting of photos of the 11th WYK Group in the Facebook, the latter has attracted a lot of interest from WYK scouts worldwide; and similar to those “interest” groups of the Winos, ttClub, Karaoke, it would be appropriate to form the “11th Group” to provide members with diversified interest;
2) Andrew was asked to take a photo of the first meeting and prepare the minutes;
3) the first-thing-first is to build a database of scouts around the world; and give them a platform to communicate, reminisce and share of their photos & experience of their good old days;
4) Anthony proposed and would ask Jeffrey Mah to set up a forum for the “11th Group” as part of the www.wykontario.org website;
5) Henry reiterated that, with the availability of the database, he could pinpoint those key scouters; line them up (falling in); and move from then on;
6) Peter proposed to broadcast the recruitment, personally and collectively, inviting classmates to sign in;
What’s Next
7) a dinner-gathering was scheduled on Thursday, the 10th October 2013, at the Landmark Seafood Cuisine at 18:30 to have all available scouters to brain-storming what could be done among the Group; and family members are welcome;
8) scouts would be encouraged to attend the 30th WYKAAO Celebration Gala to be held on Saturday, the 19th October 2013, at Sheraton Parkway Hotel; and form their own tables with old scout activity photos to be displayed adjacent to them;
9) a photo-taking session of the 11th Group would be held at the Gala evening;
Potential & Upcoming Events
10) Peter went out fishing in Lake Ontario, which could be planned as one of the events in 2014;
11) Andrew proposed to take advantage of the AGM platform for the following “show-and-tell” evening of the “11th Group” on Monday, the 2nd December 2013, killing two birds at the same time;
12) Peter expressed that he would be away and not be able to attend the next AGM; but would donate prizes for the lucky draw;
13) Peter would also donate table prizes for the Gala Evening;
14) Henry suggested with the following outings: – Point Pelee National Park in Windsor, a birds sanctuary (about 2 hours’ drive); – Flowerpot Island of the Fathom Five National Marine Park, in the Georgian Bay, part of Lake Huron (about 2 hours’ drive); – Killarney Provincial Park, where the Group of 7 frequented for their works;

I registered to the website and can now enter comments. It is wonderful to see this group developing under the leadership of our GSM Mr. Ho. May I suggest that we plan towards a reunion in Hong Kong and try to relive our Scouting experiences!…Stephen
