The 11th Hong Kong Bowling Tournament for All cum 10th Hong Kong Blind Bowling Tournament  on 23 May, 2021 at SCAA Bowling Centre.

The above tournament is the annual event organized by the Hong Kong Blind Sports Federation (HKBSF) and co-organized by the Rotary International District 3450. Due to the pandemic, the tournament has to be postponed to 23 May, 2021.

Although the Bowling Training Class has been suspended for quite some time due to the pandemic since December, 2020, our visually impaired members have made their best efforts to practice as soon as the bowling centre is re-opened in March, 2021 so as to be ready for the above tournament. There were 60 teams with 117 sighted and 39 blind members participated and was the largest scale bowling tournament for all in Hong Kong! Participating teams were mainly formed by various Rotary Clubs in Hong Kong, corporations like Sun Hung Kai Properties Volunteers Team, Gammon Construction Co. Ltd. and Kerry Logistics. Each team was formed by 3 sighted bowlers and 1 blind bowler. For the first stroke, each sighted player needed to be blindfolded to play.

 

The officiating guests of the opening ceremony included Ms Vivien Lau, Vice-President of Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and Chairman of the Hong Kong Tenpin  Bowling Congress, Mr Lui, member of the Executive Committee of the Paralympic Committee and Sports Association for the Disabled, Mr Roger Ngan, HKBSF Chairman, Mr. Peter Sun, HKBSF Founding Chairman, Mrs. Grace Chan, HKBSF Founder & CEO & Event Organizing Committee Chairman , Mr. Eron Chiu, HKBSF Vice Chairman, Dr. or Mr. Eric Chak, District Governor of Rotary International District 3450, District Governor Nominee, Mr Deli Li  District Government Nomineee (Designate) and Mr. Frank Chan,President of Rotary Club of Kwai Chung & Co-Chairman of the Event Organizing Committee.
