This year's tour into the power station for Lammaites, organised by Hans Andersen Club instead of myself who organised this tour in former years.

In Cantonese instead of English this time, not sure how much English will be supplemented. On demand, I assume.

Hi everyone,
This is staff representative from the Hans Andersen Club Lamma Island Centre.
Thank you very much posting our poster on the website, it helps a lots in promotion!
Just to clarify, the above activity is organized by Hans Andersen Club and we mainly target for aged 15 or above teenage Lamma residents.
For other individuals who are interested in visiting Lamma Power Station may self-group and submit application through HK Electric.
Many thanks!

Inside Power Station tour: Tue, Aug 1, or Fri, Aug 4, 2017:

HK Electric just called me offering another one of our formerly yearly tours, again mainly for Lammaites, plus a few people with close Lamma connections, for ALL ages above 15, in English.
The widely publicised tour by Hans Andersen Club on July 20 above is in Cantonese (with some English interpretation, if needed) and it's targeted mainly at local teenagers, HK Electric and Hans Andersen Club just told me. This tour above is full now, waitlisted.

Contact me by Private Message, Facebook msg (Lamma Gung), on WhatsApp or SMS (6151 5408), or email (info@Lamma.com.hk) for details and registration. Morning of Aug 1 or 4?
I realise that many people will be out of HK on these two dates, but these are the dates offered so far.
No need to call Hans Andersen Club or HK Electric directly or fill in any forms, as they'll both refer you back to me, I think.

For photos and stories of former tours like this that I organised:

More news from HK Electric about the tour:

"Please note in view of our jack-packed schedule for guided tour to Lamma Power Station, we can conduct visit either on 1 or 4 August.

Based on my past experience in receiving Lamma residents for LPS visit, 1 hour 20 minutes should be reasonably enough to answer most of the questions.

Facilities to be visited will include Visitor Centre, Gas Receiving Station, Turbine Hall of gas-fired generating unit and Solar Power System. In addition, we will catch a glimpse of the construction site of new gas-fired generating units."

I've got to fill in a form for all registered tour participants and we'll need your signature on the form before the tour.

If we haven't met personally yet, I look quite a bit like this drawing from Harry Harrison on the left. Minus the earring.

The tour bus still has space available, so sign up soon directly with me, please.

I just got informed by the tour guide that you'll need to bring your id card or document along to register!

"Besides, for security reason, visitors are required to show their identification document, such as ID card, before signing the form at East Gate.
I will bring the registration form for the participants and do the roll call."
