They all took part in a one-minute rowing fitness test and three competitive events. The three-member relay race was won by a 'three-generation' family group comprising PTU Z2 Station Sergeant Mr Cheung Chor-ming, his father (a retired police officer) and his son.
Chairman of Healthy Life Style Committee, Senior Superintendent Mr Tsang Choi-on, who had taken part in the event, presented prizes to the winners.
