More info from HK Electric about the Power Station tour on Aug 7:

Hi Lamma Gung,
Can I join the tour? Please let me know. Thanks.

(p.s. have tried emailing you directly and using the contact us button on the site but messages bounce back as undeliverable - "service unavailable" and "blocked using dnsbl.sorbs.net")

Yes, there are still a few places available for this tour on Aug 7. 1 or 2 persons (between 15-70 years old)?

Anybody else? Deadline for registration this Wednesday, July 31.

Email LammaGung@gmail.com if you get the same problem as lamma_llama. Probably related to his/her spam filter as other emails to info@Lamma.com.hk, info@Compunicate.com, PMs, WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook messages to me seem to be all getting through daily w/o problems, I think.

If anybody else had any trouble contacting me, using any of the contacts at the top of the home page, please let me know!

I suppose their new policy for having insurance cover was introduced following the ill-fated ferry excursion last October.

Tally Ho, yes, probably.
No need for them having a list of names for insurance purpose on the tours we've done before.

So you can feel safe on the tour. If a piece of coal falls on your head, you'll be insured. Or maybe not, as you'll have to wear a helmet for the entire tour as well.

Maybe this summer. The local interest for this tour isn't so high anymore, as the keenest residents have seen it by now. So it might take several months to find enough people to fill up a tour bus on a week day (no tours on weekends).

I'll be announcing here if and when I'll start taking reservations again.

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.

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.
