NYJC Pugilistic Alumni Gathering : Apr-19

This was a gathering of a few closest batches in NYJC Pugilistic Society, mainly batch 9, 10 and 11.  Many of us were looking forward since quite a number had not met since graduation about 30 years ago.  I was from batch 9, where we had merely a total of 11 members.  It was a struggle to even put up a decent performance with such few people.  That was why we put in a great deal of effort to recruit more member in the club when we were in our second year, and we were very successful.  A total of 24 members joined during batch 10!  That year, we held the Pugilistic night performance, consisting a good 2 hour show with all sorts of performance, Southern & Northern Lion dances, Beijing Opera, Flag acrobatic, Chinese dance etc.  Probably that was the event that held us well in memories too. So, when Avis suggested a gathering, most people tried their best to come.  I also suggested using XinYang as the gathering venue as it would be meaningful to 'return' to the root of where we once enjoyed doing together.
