This year's Ball was held at the Tokyo American Club and was a great success. It included a five-course meal, fine wines and whisky, entertainment from the Tokyo Pipe Band and the Tokyo Bluebells and dancing to the Ben Nevis Ceilidh Band and the Hitmen (for those who prefer disco dancing!). As usual, we had wonderful raffle prizes provided by our sponsors. These included:

• Two Upper Class return flights to London on Virgin Atlantic plus two nights in the new Tower Bridge Hilton in London
• Two return flights to Hong Kong plus two night in a top hotel
• A dinner for six catered in your home
• A champagne dinner for two in the American Room at TAC

and many more!

In a wonderful speech by Martin Hatful, the Charge d’Affaires at the British Embassy, we learnt that St. Andrew, as well as being the patron saint of Scotland, is the patron saint of many other groups including fishmongers, people with gout and the Spanish armed forces. We will be inviting all of them to our next event!
