Launch of Chinese Courtyard Project - 26th June 2010

Dear Members and Friends of CAV This year of the Tiger, 2010, we are embarking on our multi-purpose Chinese Courtyard project at the northern aspect of our CAV landsite next to the CAV hall. The courtyard will serve the purposes for: Outdoor recreational activities such as martial arts, eg Tai Chi, Wushu and Lion Dance practice and exercises eg line dancing, aerobics and Zumba fitness Cultural dances, singing and play performances for school children as well as public speaking exercises will be served by an outdoor stage. Extra facility for holding food fairs and celebrating cultural festivities. Passive recreation such as Meditation, Yoga, Chinese Chess, Tea drinking ceremonies and musical interludes, eg flute, Erhu etc. Extension of outdoor resting and meal areas for school children and parents will be provided by the added awning/covered area.   Please look at the artist’s impression of the courtyard (courtyard-1), and a broader view from the front (courtyard-2). You can see the stage with a roof (in red colour) at the far end. The third picture (plaque) show how the proposed plaque looks like.
