On behalf of WGAHK, Edward Tan, Nancy Chui, Jonson Yue, Manita So and Lewis Tang joined the annual dinner of IGDS alumni held at the Mariners’ Club on 10 December 2005.

Over a hundred IGDS students, graduates and friends got together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the University of Warwick and the 25th anniversary of Warwick Manufacturing Group.

It was a truly enjoyable evening that filled with games, competitions, jazz music and other performances. The professional tango performance by Donna So and her teacher engaged the audience’s attention and was rewarded by a big round of applause. Nancy’s skilful piano performance was a delightful congratulatory message for the newly married couple Ricky Chau and Angela Chan.

More excitement came when the beer-drinking contest started. WGAHK representative Lewis won the first round and came second in the final. Well-done Lewis! In another competition, our charming Nancy managed to convince the judge Wingo Tang that she was wearing the most ‘colourful’ outfit among other contestants and cheerfully walked away with a box of chocolate for our table!

Amid the laughter, the lucky draw began. Many prizes were generously donated by teaching staff and alumni. Most of us bought extra raffle tickets to try our luck. The big winner among our table was Jonson Yue, who won a DVD recorder and an oriental ceramic vase. Manita also won a Hewlett Packard USB drive.

Congratulations to IGDS for the tremendous success of the dinner. It was a memorable evening and we all had a good time.
