The Chamber held its annual Chinese New Year Banquet at the Eight Modern Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown on 11 February 2022 which was attended by 320 of our members, VIP guests, dignitaries and friends.

It was truly a wonderful annual reunion dinner for the Haymarket Chamber family and we would like to express our thanks and appreciation to all of you for your continued support, and particularly to the Hon.

Apologies were received from the Hon. Alex Hawke MP (Federal Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs) who sent us his good wishes via a video recording instead, the Hon. Tanya Plibersek MP (Federal Member for Sydney), the Hon. Linda Burney MP (Federal Member for Barton), the Hon Jonathan O’Dea MP (NSW Parliamentary Speaker and State Member for Davidson), City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore and Mr Chin Tan, Race Discrimination Commissioner of the Australian Human Rights Commission.

One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement and presentation of the Chamber’s Honorary Membership Award to our Immediate Past President, Simon Chan, in recognition of Simon’s many years of meritorious service to the Chamber. Congratulations Simon!

We would also like to thank all our event sponsors and prize donors (Darling Square Community Bank, Millon Wines, Surfside Hotels, 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Dynasty Karaoke, Macquarie Links International Golf Club, Chat Thai, Forcast and the Eight Modern Chinese Restaurant) for their generous contributions, the XO Music band for the wonderful entertainment, our sound technician Dave Shea, the Qing Fong lion dance troupe, and all our volunteers for their help in making the evening such an enjoyable one!
