1st Annual Report
31.12.1976
Introduction:
The Management Committee takes great pleasure in presenting its 1st Annual Report for the year 1976. This is accompanies by the statement of accounts for the period ending 31st December 1976.
The formation of the adventurers club marked another significant development in the Youth Park to augment the other activities that are carried out by the Youth Park for community participation and recreation. The Adventurers' Club was first founded on the 24th April 1976 by three energetic and dynamic young men namely, Mr. M.Pasupathy (Chairman), Mr. Ching Neng Bin (Hon.Secretary) and Mr. Hoon Joong High (Treasurer) who happened to share a common interest - a sense of adventure, and a dream to initiate a club whereby other people especially young men and ladies can get together and plan outdoor activities conducive for themselves and at the same time render whatever community services they could to the community for the betterment of society.
It was a mammoth task initially for the three persons who worked unceasingly to get the Club's constitution ready and at the same time to draw new members into the club. The work had been, thus far, rewarding and exhilarating for us. The seed sowed had now matured into a young plant and is still growing.
The objectives of the Club are mainly to inculcate a spirit of adventure among its members, to develop self reliance, good character and citizenship, through the following activities:
1. Exploration, 2. Excursion, 3. Camping, 4. Hiking, 5. Tracking
6. Rambling, 7. Mountain Climbing, 8. Boating & Sailing, 9. Fishing & Abseiling, etc.
The Club has now entered into the threshold of a new era 1977. The Committee is proud to expound some of its past daring adventurous activities that had been successfully carried out during the course of eight months:
- Maxwell Hill Climb
- Motorcycle trip to Kangar
- Motor cycle trip to Pangkor Island
- Hike cum camping at Pantai Keranchut
- Night hike cum camping at Bukit Chindana
Besides our adventurous activities the Club also had joint projects with other organization, aimed at fostering better understanding and inculcating a sense of fellowship among members of both organizations and at the same time providing community services. Some of the community projects are as follows:
- Gotong Royong at Bayan Baru
- Helping at the Penang Pesta Orchid Show
- Old Nicholites Variety Show at Dewan Sri Pinang
- Opening up of a New Adventure Trail at the Youth Park
- Collecting of newspapers for the Rifle Range Residents Association for their Students Scholarship Fund
The Adventurers' Club had improved tremendously during the year, but not without the concerted efforts and scarifies put forth by a nucleus of dedicated members who strive for the continued advancement of our Club. Credit is given to all our enthusiastic supporters and active members who have never failed to answer the call-of-adventure.

However, the Management Committee felt, it was also through the constant and enthusiastic participation of our members that kept the surviving flame of the Club burning -

Club's Motto
ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH CONQUEST
"Achievement through conquest." The sheer determination in overcoming a physical challenge will build a person's character and produces a certain joy of achieving a task that seemed impossible in the first place.
The Penang Adventurers’ Club was founded on 24 April 1976 by a group of energetic and dynamic young men in Penang, namely M. Pasupathy, Ching Neng Bin and Hoon Joong High who happened to shared a common interest in their love for nature, outdoor life, and adventure. They had a dream to initiate a club where people from all walks of life can gather for fellowship and to plan outdoor activities for themselves and others.

Hi Neng Bin, thanks for posting these photos. Brings back sweet memories. We were so young and skinny, with head full of glorious hair.
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
