Lecture and Banquet Dinner
The event, to be
held at the Football Club, is going to be a banquet dinner with the
highlight
being an illustrated lecture by Michael Palin, "Around the World in 20
Years". The dinner has been arranged so that no less than half of
the ticket price for the dinner goes to charity.
The aim of the
dinner is to make a substantial contribution from Hong Kong to the Royal
Geographical Society's President's Appeal, which is the culmination of a
10-year programme entitled "Unlocking the Archives", the aim of which
is to make the RGS's 10 million maps, priceless artifacts and unequalled
library accessible to the whole world, in addition to just Fellows and
Members.
Michael Palin was
elected President of the Royal Geographical Society in 2009, following
an
illustrious career which took him from a successful student at
Oxford to long-running Monty Python fame, to
A Fish Called Wanda, to the world's best loved maker of travel
documentaries.
We very much hope
that you would like to attend The President’s Dinner. Tickets for
non-members
of the Royal Geographical Society are priced at HK$1,250 ticket for the
evening, which includes the banquet dinner with wine and soft drinks, of
which
no less than half goes to charity, which additionally includes a year’s
membership of the Royal Geographical Society – HK.
This event is
expected to be very popular, therefore please note that you are advised
to
reply as soon as possible to avoid
disappointment.
