SUMMARY:Christmas Cocktail Party 2025
DESCRIPTION:Our former President and Hong Kong Club member\, Mr. Gordon Jones will be the host of our annual charity Christmas Cocktail Party. This is one of the most popular events in the Society’s calendar so come and enjoy socializing with other members\, friends\, and colleagues in the delightful Garden Lounge with its unique view of the Hong Kong Christmas lights. Drinks and canapes will be served\, including the ever-popular\, mouth-watering roast ham and mustard\, plus Swiss Raclette cheese with condiments. \nIn light of the recent tragedy in Tai Po\, we will begin the evening by observing a minute of silence (at 7:00 pm) in honour of those affected before the speeches and introductions. A donation box will also be available at the event\, with proceeds dedicated to the government’s relief fund for victims of the fire. \nAdhering to tradition\, any income generated from this event will be donated to a charity. This year’s chosen charity is Hong Kong Cancer Fund\, which is the city’s largest cancer support organisation\, providing free information and professional support to anyone living with or affected by cancer. Established in 1987\, Hong Kong Cancer Fund’s vision is to improve the quality of cancer support in Hong Kong. Their work now encompasses psychosocial services\, public education\, cancer research\, home care\, peer support\, complementary therapies\, funding of hospital equipment and much more. \nWe are proud to also partner with Métier Minus\, a registered charity in Hong Kong\, to host a pop-up booth of post-loved luxury fashion at our Christmas Cocktail event. Pick up beautifully curated pieces as a festive gift for your loved ones — the net proceeds from the sale will go directly to Métier Minus’ youth and women empowerment programmes in Hong Kong. \nDate: Thursday\, 11 December 2025\nTime: 6:30 pm to 9:15 pm (observe a minute of silence at 7:00 pm)\nVenue: Garden Lounge\, The Hong Kong Club\, 1 Jackson Road\, Central \nMembers: HK$650 | Non-Members: HK$760 \nDress code: Smart casual (Jeans\, T-shirts\, tracksuits\, shorts\, shoes for sports activities\, and flip-flops are not acceptable.

SUMMARY:Tour the UNESCO-Award-Winning Blue House
DESCRIPTION:Join Cambridge alumnus\, architect and artist Nick Tsao for an immersive guided tour of Wan Chai’s historic Blue House Cluster. The Blue House is a Grade I historic building built in 1992\, awarded the UNESCO Award of Excellence\, which is the highest honour given to conservation projects in Asia Pacific. It stands as a living testament to Hong Kong’s success in integrating tangible and intangible heritage. Explore its preserved interiors\, authentic architectural details\, and co-living histories while visiting Tsao’s own residence and studio\, where he creates traditional papercuttings for Lunar New Year. The experience offers rare access to the building’s architectural features and community preservation stories. \nNick is an architect with over a decade of experience under international design firms such as Foster + Partners and Herzog & de Meuron. His fascination with historic buildings had led him to design the Hong Kong Heritage map\, which is available at several bookstores. \nYou will learn about the rich history of the building\, its intricate architectural features\, and hear stories of its close-knit community. Nick will welcome you into his home studio to feel what it is like to live in a century-old brick and timber building. What modern conveniences does he have to give up? The most important question is of course: how much does he pay for rent? \nDate and Time:\n15:00 – 16:30 Sunday 29th March 2026 \nMeeting Point:\nCourtyard\, Stone Nullah Lane\, Wan Chai \nCost:\n$300 (member) / $350 (non-member) \nRSVP:\nRegister and pay at the Oxbridge Society Event Page \nFor enquiries:\nJo An Ma (joanma3@yahoo.com) and\nOxbridge Administrator (society@oxbridge.org.hk)
