Welcome to WYKAAO
2010 AGM/Dinner was held on Saturday Nov 27 in a Chinese restaurant in Scarborough. Over 80 members and guests attended the fun filled evening with games, latest news and presentations, amid many delicious dishes. A number of first timers showed up for the function which is most encouraging for the association. The night was wrapped up with the showing of a new version of ‘Moments in Time - the History of WYK’ narrated in English. Click here to view the pictures.
On 25th November we took the opportunity of classmate Simon Mak's business trip to Toronto to get together at the Golden Court Restaurant for a dinner.
Victor J. Chen (69) shares some of his previous pictures taken in 1966-67 of a WYK choir and air club visits to Kai Tak and USS Constellation led by the late Fr Cunningham. Knowledge of WYK recently having won the Busan Choral Festival (韓國釜山合唱音樂節) caused him to get these pictures out. We certainly hope other alumni can do the same and share their pictures at WYK with all of us. Thanks Victor and here is the link.

From Mr. Laurence Tam in Hong Kong, "I consider this exhibition to be the most important one, because it signifies that the Cradle teaching method has finally been endorsed by the education institution for the training of teachers. This time, the exhibition is all in Chinese, because it is meant for the primary and secondary school teachers in Hong Kong.

On the occasion of Joseph Chu’s visit to Hong Kong, Gilbert Tsui shouted “fall in!” and a few of us managed to get together for a happy night at Hyatt Regency, Shatin, on October 28, 2010. Old timers returning overseas have always been good pretext for these get-togethers for otherwise too-busy people. On the night, lots of reminiscences of past gaiety were swapped, bringing alive things that happened over 30 years ago!
Expo67 took place in Montreal with the theme, "Man and His World".
