Condolence to Shim family

Mr Shim Hock Min, committee member of KKTTA pased away at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, KK on April 13 2006.
Mr Shim was a dedicated coach who almost every weekend assisted chief coach Mr John Hong at the KKTTA training room. He helped many young players to attain their current standard of playing skills by constantly giving them tips and advice and acted as a competent sparring partner.
Mr Shim was also very active in KKTTA activities. Together with his wife, Madam Pang, he would be present at all the events organised by KKTTA without fail, sometimes as participants sometimes as committee members.
He would be dearly missed by all at KKTTA.
