Cancellation of the Anniversaries Gala Dinner of 30 Jan 2020
- Standing together against the novel coronavirus
The situation regarding the novel coronavirus (“Wuhan coronavirus”) outbreak in the mainland of China is deteriorating rapidly and Hong Kong has been stepping up measures to contain the spread. The Schools and the Gala Dinner Organizing Committee (OC) have been monitoring the situation closely, conducting negotiations with the HKCEC and discerning the best way forward in the face of this quickly evolving and challenging situation. The large part of the production costs has been incurred because of preparations already done before the Chinese New Year and cannot be salvaged. The HKCEC has also ordered the food and made other preparations. Based on the contract, we are liable to the full dinner cost regardless of whether we go ahead with or cancel the dinner. However, this morning the OC managed to secure from the HKCEC a special deal that if we cancel the event today, we have to forfeit only the deposit paid so we can save about $1.7M not yet paid. The option of postponement is not on the table. In summary, a large amount has been incurred if we cancel the event, but the loss is not total.
HKJSAA (Hong Kong Joint Schools Alumni Association) is hosting the following events on Sunday February 23, 2020 to celebrate Chinese New Year.
(1) Mahjong Competition
(2) Dinner
Venue: NKS Banquet Hall 帝豪名宴 (New Kennedy Square, 8360 Kennedy Road)
1:00 pm Mahjong Competition (no extra charge, pre-registration required)
6:00 pm Reception
7:00 pm Dinner ($60 per person)
