Highlights of the month
YSG APC Workshops – APC (BS) Mock Assessment – 5 to 6 October 2012
The Mock Assessment 2012 was jointly organized by the BSD and YSG and was successfully held on 5-6 October. A total of 14 candidates joined the Mock assessment to work under the simulated examination environment in Practical Task. This year’s arrangements were set to be as realistic as possible so that candidates did not receive their question papers until the evening of Day 1, by which time they had to complete their visual inspection surveys on the same day. Their presentation materials had to be prepared on the spot. The candidates enjoyed the assessment and received direct feedback from the assessors on their performances in the design scheme, presentation skills, and responses to questions, which made them better-prepared for the upcoming Practical Task assessment. A separate report can be found in this issue of Surveyors Times.

YSG Annual General Meeting – 23 November 2012
Please mark your schedule for these two important days!
This year’s YSG Annual Dinner will bring us back to “The Old Hong Kong”. Whether our younger members were only children or had yet to enter this world during the 1970s & 1980s, they should enjoy the “Hong Kong Style” atmosphere during its golden era at the classy Little Egret Restaurant (小白鷺餐廳). Apart from a comprehensive review of YSG events held in 2012, there will be, as usual, fun and games, as well asa lucky draw during the dinner.
We have offered a special discount to new probationers (i.e., members who joined the HKIS as probationers or were upgraded from Students to Probationers after 1 January 2012) as a welcome gift. The fee is $100 per head for new probationers and $150 per head for all other young/young-at-heart members. Please register now to avoid disappointment!
Our AGM will be held at 7 PM, 23 November 2012, at the Surveyors Learning Center. The official notice of the meeting and the agenda will be sent to YSG members by post soon.
