I am a membe of three private clubs in my home base of Hong Kong – the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (primarily for the boating, outdoor dining, swimming pool), the Ladies’ Recreation Club (now unisex, I hasten to add! – primarily for kids’ activities, outdoor dining, video library, pools) and the Hong Kong Club (dining and drinking).

The horses were treated to a small handful of polo mints and were given lots of attention from the veterans who?d missed their equine friends. The soldiers young and old shared tales of service life today and in the past with lots of smiles and increasing laughter as the military banter filled the brisk morning air.
