2026.10.17. 🇬🇧 Bristol Alumni in Hong Kong – AGM cm Annual Dinner 2026 🎓

On 17 October, we gathered at Yakitoriya Hon in Sai Ying Pun for the University of Bristol Hong Kong Alumni Association’s Annual General Meeting and Alumni Dinner 2026.

The AGM, led by Chairperson Dr. Raymond Yuen, reviewed the Association’s activities, finances, and ongoing commitment to supporting Hong Kong students through our postgraduate scholarship programme. We also welcomed two new Executive Committee members, Bryan Seung (MA 2019) and Jenny Chu (MA 2013), in recognition of their contributions to our alumni community and activities. Welcome aboard! 👏

It was also an opportunity to reflect on another year of bringing Bristol alumni together and strengthening our ties with the University. Our activities included supporting the University’s Hong Kong Alumni Reception at Soho House in March, meeting senior University representatives in April to discuss partnerships and future alumni engagement, and organising a heritage walk at Shing Mun Reservoir under the University’s Global Gathering initiative. These events combine cultural exploration, networking, and opportunities to reconnect with fellow Bristol graduates. 🏞️🤝

A special highlight was hearing from Serena Lee, our 2022/23 scholarship recipient, who shared her inspiring journey across neuropsychology, social impact investment, and technology. Named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026 list in Finance & Venture Capital, Serena exemplifies how a Bristol education can help create meaningful impact in Hong Kong and beyond. 🌟

After the AGM, alumni and friends enjoyed a Japanese yakitori dinner, catching up with old classmates, welcoming new faces, and exchanging ideas across generations and professions. It was a wonderful reminder that our Bristol bond extends far beyond graduation.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered their time, and supported our activities and scholarship programme. We look forward to another year of building connections, creating opportunities, and celebrating the Bristol spirit together! ❤️💛

2026.10.10. 🌿 Bristol Hong Kong Global Gathering 2026: Exploring Shing Mun Reservoir

Our October Global Gathering brought together 12 Bristol alumni and friends for a lovely afternoon exploring Hong Kong’s heritage at Shing Mun Reservoir, followed by a wonderful dinner.

Originally planned as a hike at Devil’s Peak, we switched to the cooler, shadier trails of Shing Mun Reservoir to beat the heat. Along the way, we discovered fascinating stories about Hong Kong’s water supply development, the 1941 Battle of Hong Kong and the Gin Drinkers Line, and the beginnings of our country park system.

More than just a heritage walk, it was a chance to catch up, share stories and strengthen friendships within our Bristol family in Hong Kong. ❤️

Our heartfelt thanks to Bryan Seung (MA History 2019) for sharing his knowledge and helping plan the walk, and to everyone who joined us and made the gathering so enjoyable!

Here’s to more adventures, meaningful connections and Bristol spirit in Hong Kong. Once a Bristolian, always a Bristolian!

2026.04.17 | Bristol reunion in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

A wonderful evening reconnecting with Professor Oliver Quick, Associate Pro Vice Chancellor (External Engagement) and Professor of Law at the University of Bristol, alongside Dr. John McWilliams and fellow University of Bristol Hong Kong Alumni Association ExCo members Ryanne Lau and Phyllis Tsang.

Professor Quick was visiting Hong Kong as part of his Asia alumni engagement tour, with upcoming gatherings in Singapore and Malaysia. We had inspiring conversations on higher education developments in Hong Kong and the UK, the University of Bristol’s growing collaboration with HKUST, and the importance of strengthening global partnerships and alumni communities in an increasingly connected world.

It was also fun hearing Oliver reflect on his very first trip to Hong Kong over 20 years ago，staying in Mong Kok and being captivated by the city’s incredible energy and vibrant street life.

Excitingly, the University of Bristol is planning a major global alumni reunion in March 2027 to celebrate its 150th anniversary，a milestone that will surely bring Bristol alumni worldwide together in celebration.

Evenings like this are a reminder that the Bristol spirit continues to thrive across generations and across continents.
