The British Chamber of Commerce Guangdong successfully organised UK Alumni Summer Mixer & Quiz Night on 13th August at George & Dragon in Shenzhen and on 20th August at The Happy Monk Party Pier in Guangzhou. We were delighted to see that tickets for both events were fully booked. We welcomed nearly 70 guests in Shenzhen and nearly 100 guests in Guangzhou respectively.

UK alumni and friends from more than 26 universities came to enjoy the night with delicious canapes & beverages and exciting games. Two nights of catching up with all the UK Alumni from the Greater Bay Area for a great gathering during these uncertain and challenging times.

Guests joining the two events hailed from a wide variety of industries, including education, business consultancy, legal services, wealth management, accounting, finance, hospitality and others. All in all a social event and a great chance to catch up with old faces and make new friends.

We were honoured to have Mr Mark Clayton, Vice Chairman of BritCham Guangdong, as the MC to light up the nights in both Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

Pop quiz were the highlights of the summer mixer. There were three rounds of questions about general knowledge, sports and culture of Britain. More than fifteen teams in Shenzhen and Guangzhou respectively worked hard to compete for our prizes.

Appreciate Pagoda Projects for sponsoring the British Gift Bags to the winners at the first place in the Guangzhou Gathering.
