Apart from highlighting
the end of a fruitful
year, the WGAHK Annual
Dinner was also the
precious opportunity for
over 100 Warwickers
across decades to have a
big reunion ant to
celebrate the
University's 40th
anniversary.
Our masters of
ceremonies, Mr Liam Lai
(LLB Law) and Ms Shirley
Kwan (BSc Management
Science) kicked off the
evening by inviting Mr
Edward Tan, the WGAHK
Chairman, to express the
warmest welcome to all
participants. This was
followed by a speech by
Ms Nancy Chui, the
University of Warwick
Hong Kong
Representative.
A slide show displaying
some of the entries of
My Warwick Days Photo
Contest came next and
that allowed guests to
relive their student
days' memories. Among
the entries, the judge
panel had picked two
merit prize winners: Ms
Jane Wong (MSc in
Engineering Business
Management IGDS) and Ms
Red Chan (MA in
Translation Studies),
and a grand prize
winner: Ms Maud Lee (MSc
in Economics). Maud's
photo featuring
daffodils in full bloom
against the background
of the fine blue sky won
the panel's heart with
its remarkable aesthetic
standard and uniqueness
in the shooting angle.
Her winning photo is
printed on a wallet-size
2006 Warwick calendar
card, which was given to
all guests at the dinner
with the latest WGAHK
newsletter and a Warwick
40th anniversary
souvenir pen.

Amidst the laughter and
leisure chitchat among
tables, the ¡§Warwick
I-know¡¨ game hosted by
Nancy Chui drew the
participants¡¦ attention
to the stage again.
Questions of interesting
facts about the
University were asked
and every table had to
put up their ¡§Yes¡¨ or
¡§No¡¨ cards to show their
answers. After rounds of
heated competitions, the
table comprised of
recent graduates and
current exchange
students beat other
tables with a narrow
win!
The dinner culminated in
the lucky draw with over
40 fabulous prizes. Each
guest received a
complimentary raffle
ticket and extra raffle
tickets could be bought
with all proceeds going
to the WGAHK Scholarship
Fund. As a reward of
their generosity, many
raffle ticket buyers
took home more than one
prizes and Mr Paul Li
was the winner of the
grand prize¡X a LCD
television!
The evening came to a
full end after the
entire group of guests
came together to take a
huge group photo. The
annual dinner was a
remarkable success with
more than HK$20,000
raised for the WGAHK
scholarship fund.
Everyone had an
enjoyable and memorable
evening.
