Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the Hong Kong Club on Wednesday, 24th April 2019. Similar to last year, the AGM will be followed by a cocktail party. In accordance with the Club’s regulations, the event will be hosted by a member of The Hong Kong Club. The event is being hosted by RASHK member, Mr Bob Bunker. Notice at the venue will be in the in the name of "Mr Bob Bunker", not the Society.

Although the Club’s regulations prohibit the sale of books, the Society is keen to showcase any books that have been written or edited by members in the last twelve months or so. Note that this does not include books that have been published by members on a commercial basis. If you would like to promote a book that you have written or edited recently, please notify the Administrator and bring a copy to the AGM, together with order forms to allow members to purchase a copy if they wish.
If members wish to submit nominations for the Society's Council, they are asked to complete the nomination form available using this link and return it to the Hon. Secretary, Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong, GPO Box 3864, Hong Kong not later than Wednesday, 17th April 2019. Nominees, as well as their Proposer and Seconder, must be members of good standing. Election will be by a majority of members present, as required by the Constitution of the Society. Members are reminded that the Council is a functional one.
