The Christchurch Golf Club hosts a fundraiser at the Armagh Street Clubrooms, organising a social evening – with participants encouraged to come in Chinese Fancy Dress. Origami folding and calligraphy were some of the games on the night. There was a selection of different Asian foods to enjoy and the compulsory fancy-dress parade. Watch to see who won! And yes, Desmond Allen confirms that dinner was indeed delicious!
