Nature Awareness Day (Saturday 17 March 2001)

After the birders have completed a survey and a list of the birds the Royal Perak Golf Club prepared and handed over to the RPGC Committee the Perak Branch teamed up to have a Nature Awareness Day in the RPGC premises (first floor foyer). Twenty A3-sized prints were painstakingly done by Cheang Kum Seng, Laurence Poh, Ooi Beng Yean and printed with the help of Dr. Chan Ah Lak. These were handed over to the RPGC captain in a simple ceremony. Although the RPGC presented a cheque for RM4,000 for this tremendous effort by the birders the final amount will be less as the final accounts will take into consideration the costs involved.
      A large number of the golfers and their family members turned and browsed at the bird pictures, a video presentation and bird paintings exhibited by Mr. Choo Beng Teong, a renowned nature painter from Penang. Glenda Noramly was invited to give a talk cum slide presentation on the Importance of Birds and Nature. An exhibition of MNS publications and souvenir items were also exhibited.
