MEMBERS of the public can book Regional Council leisure facilities or enrol in recreation and sports programmes simply by dialling a special hotline - 2606-2111.
The merit of the computer-operated telephone booking system, which began operating this week, is its convenience and flexibility.
Those wishing to make bookings and enrolments do not have to do the footwork. Instead, they can pick up the phone and dial the above number between 7 am and 9 pm daily. The relevant fees must be paid within three days.
This telephone service is part of the $38 million Regional Council Computerised Booking System known as Leisure Link; it is the largest computer network of its kind in Hong Kong.
The project has been implemented in two phases.
Phase one was introduced in July 1994 - booking and enrolment services at 67 leisure venues and district offices in the Regional Council area were automated.
