Thank you everyone for attending last month’s Annual General Meeting. Chris Maden has already stepped down as the Chairman. Wilson Li has volunteered to step in as the Chairman. Apart from having a new Chairman, many stepped up to help out the Circle as well. Please welcome: Chloe Lee, our secretary; Sandrine Woirnesson, our treasurer; and Kopal Manglik, our volunteer in social media outreach. Please see the following message from the new Chairman. 

‘I am delighted and honoured to serve the Hong Kong Writers’ Circle as a Chairman in the year 2022. First things first, it is my honour to succeed Chris Maden. Chris has contributed all his time and effort to create fun (and more fun) on writing. Personally, I enjoyed immensely being in the Circle under his leadership.

It is also my honour to have Sandrine take care of our books (which I am hopeless at), Chloe to take care of secretary duties, Reena to coordinate events, Stewart to take charge of our socials and Last Tuesday group, Nathan to take over the upcoming anthology once again, and Kopal to make our group young and fun throughout different social media outlets. I have already been excited to work with these incredible volunteers before my first day on the job. Of course, I am so glad that so many volunteers are working diligently behind the scenes, which makes this Circle simply wonderful.

Feel free to shoot me an email at hello@hkwriterscircles.com. Share your views and ideas over the email, or better, just make a time to meet for coffee. I love coffee. Again, the honour is mine.’
