News and Events

Dear Lasallians,

On 24th November 2024, the LSCOBA UK Chapter held a Sunday Dim Sum lunch gathering at Pinwei Chinese Restaurant in Manchester, North England. This is the first time the UK Chapter had a lunch and social event outside London, and the second event since our new Chapter Convenor, David Ho (Class of 1994) assumed his role in September 2024, taking over from Professor Christopher Liu OBE (Class of 1977), now our Honorary Life President.

I travelled with David and his family from London to join those who reside locally in the Greater Manchester area. 18 in total attended, and we enjoyed together a sumptuous lunch of Dim Sum plus Cantonese dishes, meticulously arranged with the generous help and local knowledge of the Old Boys in town.

Old Boys across almost 6 decades from classes of 1978 to 2023 shared their stories about settling, living and progressing their careers in the UK, being fans of local football teams and ideas about future events, which will include activities such as cycling and hiking.

We are particularly delighted to see many young Old Boys with different talents, who shared with us their upcoming concerts and performances. The event concluded with Old Boys joining together to sing the La Salle College school song, united with Lasallians everywhere in the La Salle Spirit.

Yours in de La Salle,

Francis Wan (2003)
Honorary Secretary
LSCOBA UK Chapter
