Lion dancing, casino and free pizza!
This event is mainly focused as a Social (Shoshol) event for de-stressing before the hard weeks of studying kicks in.
Our event was held at ‘The Scene’ in the Union and it started off with a Lion dance performance done by our very own Graphic designer: Cuebong as well as ‘The Glasgow Hong Lok Lion and Dragon dancing troupe’. Their performance was absolute quality! Members who hadn’t seen a lion performance up-close before thought it was very interesting and it left good buzz for everyone for the rest of the night.
Here is a preview of their performance:

In addition to this performance, we set up the event room in the form of a private Asian casino! With a range of games such as: Mahjong, Chinese Poker (Big 2) and traditional poker. Quite a number of members were unfamiliar with the rules of Mahjong (including myself), but I was glad to see a friendly environment as everyone was helping each other out.
To accompany the games night we also provided a variety of 10 free pizzas, wedges and garlic bread from the pizza hut, which unsurprisingly was gone in an instant.
Throughout the night we promoted hoodies and announced the potential to join our committee next year :D!
Also on the night we had an unannounced pre-planned Birthday surprise for our Co-Prez Kelv which we caught him off guard by luring him downstairs, whilst we set up cake and awaited for his “Birthday ambush!”

Towards the end of the night both Kelv and MH made a concluding speech and emphasising the benefits of joining the society, such as – developing life skills, gaining a volunteering award and improved CV prospects :D MH also shared own personal experience of the society.
In a surprising turn of events, after their speech, MH handed out photo albums to each of the committee members filled with photographs of the past memorabilia in the committee. On a personal level it was very moving and left a very heartfelt environment for the rest of the event for everyone.
Thanks to Narine for taking high quality pics of our night (They look brill!) Thanks to Yeemay for bringing in an extra set of Mahjong tiles, it really helped a lot! And Thanks again Lesley for baking some epic desserts for everyone (tasted epic) as well as bringing us all Krispy Kremes!!! Also special thanks to Cue with The Glasgow Hong Lok Lion and Dragon dancing troupe for the amazing performance!
