What a warm and tropical evening it was with all of you the other night! Going to Kowloon is much easier than flying halfway around the globe and extra fun with so many good friends. Thank you for making it a special evening, let’s hope it’s not the last there. Support the restaurant and hopefully they won’t close anytime soon!
We will let you know about future outings. To join the monthly newsletter, send an email to gbvintagesociety@gmail.com. Happy Holidays!
