GOVERNOR VISITS HONG KONG STUDENTS' CENTRE IN LONDON
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, paid a visit to the Hong
Kong Students' Centre in London on Thursday evening. He was accompanied
by Mr. A.M.J. Wright, Commissioner for Hong Kong.
Sir Murray was met by the Warden, Mr. R. Irvine and the Chairman
of the Members' Committee, Mr. Tony Chan, who introduced him to other
members of the committee.
About 50 residents and members of the Students' Centre had gathered
in the common room to greet the Governor who spent about an hour chatting
informally with them.
Among those present were a number of government employees who are
in Britain on postgraduate or training courses and former Hong Kong
students who now work in London but still maintain their contact with
the Students' Centre.
After Sir Murray left, several students expressed their appreciation
at the visit which was made at the end of a busy day of official talks.
