Outward Bound’s 55th Year

November 8th, 2009

Hello there again,
We have been too busy having fun that the auspicious date of 30th October 2009 just passed us with a blink! The Outward Bound Trust of Malaysia was 55 years old on that date! But never mind, we have the whole year till next end of October to celebrate!

Our Vice President Dato Ismail Hutson celebrated his 70th Birthday in September 2009 and our staff was invited to attend a gala dinner given in his honour by the Zoo Negara on 5th October 2009 at the Palace of Golden Horses.

The following are some of the highlights of current events:
An article on the Outward Bound Malaysia was published in the October 2009 issue of “Going Places” –the MAS in-flight magazine. A good write-up by Rabani and must thank Ms Vivian Chong (ex-bounder) for promoting us in that magazine. We received a lot of calls & enquiries and a few of them visited our booth at the Adventure Show Asia Exhibition held at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre from 9th to 11th October 2009. Please see pictures of the Exhibition by clicking on the Homepage.

We have posted the 2010 Public Course schedule on the Website so that you can refer for planning your booking for courses. There is one lady who already booked her son for the Children Adventure Course (CAC) in December 2010!

We must thank the Royal Malaysian Navy and the Perak State Government for donating a motorised Whaler. It arrived at our base on 13th October 2009 and currently undergoing refurbishment work and would be operational by mid-December 2009.

We are working together with some clients for very interesting & innovative experiential learning programmes. Watch for updates on this page!
As you know we will be very busy from now till just before Christmas especially with the Overseas Youth Programme/Adventure Challenge Course (OYP/ACC 11) & Children Adventure Course (CAC 70) starting 22nd November 2009 plus the OYP/ACC 12 & CAC 71 starting mid December 2009. We must thank the volunteers who come to support us in conducting those programmes year after year!

Watch out for updates in December 2009!
