OVER 100 graduates and lecturers of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) enjoyed a day of fun and sports, and happy reminiscing, when they got together at the Stanley Sports Centre in Sandy Bay recently.

They were taking part in the Convocation Cup Tournament final.

HKU's Pro-vice-chancellor Samuel Chan said: 'It was a great idea from our graduates - to have a day out in the fields in one big family-type gathering.' The aim of the Sports Tournament is to promote camaraderie and strengthen friendship among alumni through sports activities.

The convocation is a statutory body of the university comprising graduates and staff of HKU.

Mr Chan welcomed the enthusiastic support of the graduates, and said he hoped to see more people involved next year.
