High time too

e FCC was deserted from late afternoon onwards on 11 February for the simple reason that the sta had all disappeared into the jungle – the junglethemed sta party, that is.

And boy, did they party, as this (thanks a bunch, COVID-19) was the rst all-club-hands-on-deck hooley for three long years. e basement of the Novotel Century in Wanchai was transformed with suitable scenery, and everyone, including Board members, pulled out all the stops when it came to getting into costume and character.

e drink owed, the international bu et disappeared in minutes at, the fashion show drew gasps of admiration, the games were a hoot and the prizes included everything from dinner vouchers to a top-of-the-range smartphone. e knees-up went on till midnight, and the festivities were capped by the appearance of Ts’ai Shen, the God of Fortune, who bore a passing resemblance to Second Vice President and Club Treasurer, Tim Huxley.
