The contact phone number of the Registrar is (852) 2980 1333.

Having considered their own situations, Members should decide on their own whether they would attend 2021 AGM under a bad weather condition and if they do so, they are advised to exercise care and caution.

  • (10) In light of the epidemic situation of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), certain measures will be implemented at 2021 AGM or its adjourned meeting (as the case may be) with a view to reducing the risk to attendees of infection, including the following:
