A Hong Kong First!   Many thanks to James Rebert (SH 91-98) for organising a dinner, we hope the first of many, for OSBs in Hong Kong: The inaugural Old St Begian Hong Kong Dinner took place on the 16th of January at Lan Kwai Fong, Central, Hong Kong. The group met up at 'Stormies' for drinks and then proceeded to the "Bread Street Kitchen and Bar" for dinner. There were a number of OSBs from Singapore, Vancouver and China who had expressed an interest in attending the event, but not all were able to attend. However, we did have Claire Evans, who came all the way from Beijing for the dinner as well as Laurence Gribble, who came over from Shenzhen as well. It was a great evening to meet some old friends as well as make new ones. Some ideas were discussed on how we would manage to get in touch with more OSBs in and around Hong Kong and Asia in general and we will try our best to make some progress on this over the next few months. A message sent by OSB President Dacre Watson was read out and appreciated by the group. It is hoped to make the dinner an annual event and we hope to encourage others in Hong Kong (of which we are sure there are many more!) and other areas close by to attend. It was a great night and we are all looking forward to some more.’ Those attending were Laurence Gribble (SH 02-09), Claire Evans (L 08-14), Chris Ma (G 02-09), Susan Lowrey (L 95-02) and James Rebert (SH 91-98).
