(IMPORTANT) Association’s major activities - save the dates
Circular Ref: A(22)189
Issue Date: 27 Sep 2022
As you know, the government has yet to further relax the social distancing rules, including the limit of 120 persons for banquets.
In light of this, the Association makes some adjustments to its upcoming major events and programmes.
The latest arrangements are summed up below:
Table Tennis Tournament and Fun Days
No change. The event will be held on 2 November (Wednesday) and 3 November (Thursday), followed by a drinks party after the awards presentation ceremony on the evening of 3 November (Thursday). Indeed, we have received very good response from members, with over 250 athletes enrolling. The secretariat will need a bit more time to coordinate this happy occasion, and will advise members, athletes and their cheer teams on the arrangement as soon as possible.
"Shipping’s Got Stars" Singing Contest
No change. This first-event event in the Association history is also well received by members, with almost 100 rising stars joining. The Finale will be held on the evening of 11 November (Friday), together with a drinks party. We are having the preliminary rounds (auditions) these days, and will announce the list of contestants for the Finale next week. We will also advise members, contestants and their cheer teams on the arrangement as soon as possible. Must be another most enjoyable occasion.
65th Anniversary Gala Dinner
Postponed to February/March or later next year (from 23 November) as we would like to receive more members and guests for this memorable evening. We will advise members and guests on the details, once the above social distancing rules are relaxed.
AGM and Annual Cocktail Reception
Postponed to 23 November (from 15 November), as an event of Hong Kong Maritime Week 2022. We will extend invitation to all members shortly.
The above is for your attention please. All in all, save the dates!
