SHTMAA Annual Dinner 2018

SHTMAA Annual Dinner 2018 was successfully held at the Owner’s Box at The Hong Kong Jockey Club on 17 March 2018. This year, our theme was “Dancing through the Decades” and there were more than 90 dancing kings and queens from SHTMAA joining us. The party began with a wonderful opening dance by our juniors from the SHTM Student Association. The event reached a climax when everyone was showing their talents at the dance floor to compete in the “Dancing King and Queen Contest”! As with dinners in previous years, every participant received a fabulous prize from our grand lucky draw. Thanks to the generous help from the crew of The Hong Kong Jockey Club and the passion of the participants, it was definitely a memorable and joyful night to remember.
