The annual London Hyde Park run organised by the Cambridge University Chinese New Year Trust Society took place 
on 16th November was another enormous success this year, with the money raised currently standing at ￡1700.

This was also the first time societies from the London universities, namely LSE CSSA, OCS Children's Fund as well as 
Imperial College CSSA, have worked together with the Cambridge society. This is an exciting step forward for both 
the society and the Trust, as we look forward to working closely in the future to further our work in improving 
education for the underprivileged children in China.

Despite the grey and drizzly weather, nearly 100 people turned up to run or cheer or to hand out the much 
appreciated water and chocolates. Four Trustees - Sissi, Yanlan, Alex and Ji-Peng (in their varying states of fitness 
and attire), were amongst the 45 runners. A special mention must go to Alex who dazzled us all with his tartan skirt
and pink sequined shawl. Pictures will follow shortly!

The run was a great opportunity for the Trustees to meet the enthusiastic members of the current society. The slick 
organisation, tastefully designed T-shirts and great crowd atmosphere of the run bodes well for the 2009 Cambridge
University Chinese New Year ball themed Shanghai Bund.
