This year’s Party had been very much looked forward to, and thus was divided into afternoon and evening sessions to share the joy with as many sta ff members in di fferent duty shifts as possible. The day’s programme included the Executive Director’s Opening Speech and Presentation of Certifi cates, Buff et Dinner prepared by the Regal Airport Hotel, and Lucky Draw sessions giving out a wholesome list of prizes. The Singing Contest, Talent Show and Beer Drinking Competition were equally amazing; with extremely high standards being set by contestants with cheering and support from their colleagues echoing in the room, the climax of the night was reached. As usual, keen support from staff has again proven that the Annual Party is hugely welcomed. Similar activities will follow to enhance a sense of belonging.

With the approval of the Ministry of Culture of the PRC, the Home Affairs Department of Hong Kong took charge of arranging the Parietal-bone Relic for public worship from 25th to 30th April. The event was so grand that the State required the HKSAR Government to meet extremely high security standards. Over 800 people gathered for a series of welcoming rites at the airport apron area where the Relic first landed. To facilitate this, AVSECO offered assistance to Government Departments and the hosting organization in issuing hundreds of escort permits and deploying more than 80 officers to enhance security at the airport on the day the Relic arrived.
