source reddit post Even though Reddit corporate no longer care about community building, we still trying to keep something going here in r/HongKong for completely selfish reasons. The attendance for the annual meet last year was far short of expected, which was an unpleasant surprise. However, a good number of people shows up for each non-monthly pub crawl. Many are there trying to make friends and meet new people. Also, the attendance in previous years had always been good. That tells us there is still a need for such events. So we are trying again this year. Note: if the attendance of this event is decent then there is a good chance we will organize an Xmas party. The last time r/hongkong had an Xmas party was 2018 Time: 16:00 - 00:00 Venue: We are going back to DMZ, the same venue as last two years. This is a gaming venue run by u/kwuhkc and u/pyrosas. We will have video games, board games, card games, and mahjong available. If anyone have games they want to play, feel free to bring them along. Directions: Map Link Unit A1, 7/F, Chuan Yuan Factory Building, 342-344 Kwun Tong Rd, Ngau Tau Kok From Ngau Tau Kok MTR station, exit B5. Cross Lai yYp Street following Kwun Tong Road until you reach Yan Yip Street. Follow the Yan Yip Street to the first building entrance to the right, this will be Chuan Yuan Factory Building. Take any elevator to the 7th floor, and you have arrived! Games: There is a shelf full of card games and board games. At least 2 TV setup for video games. What consoles we have will be finalized later. If anyone can bring their own system to share that day that would be wonderful. While the games are fun and all, the important part of GRMD is for people to come out and meet each other and make new friends. Food: Cost of catering has gone up considerably, so this time we will merely order pizza in order to keep costs down. We will set up a WhatsApp group and decide on what to order on the day. Cost: For $370 there will pizza and be non-alcoholic drinks available. For $450 there will be pizza and all drinks available. If anyone have any good stuff and would like to share, that would be most welcome. Group photo: I plan on having the group photo at around 8:30 or so. I will also be leaving my old cameras around the venue so feel free to pick them up and shoot away. I'd appreciate it if other people take some candid pictures of the event. How to pay: Please go to the event link that is also on the top of the page. Once we confirmed received payment we will put you into the Super Secret Elite WhatsApp group for cool Redditors. And before anyone ask I will not be doing any tiered pricing. Please don't ask if you can just come and play and not eat and pay less money, or if you are going to be late, or if you are going to leave early. It just make things more complicated for us and math is hard. Hope to see y'all there!
