The Beijing Olympic Games is round the corner.

Raffles Beijing Hotel, our usual Friday networking venue, has been designated for the International Olympics Committee and its access is not open to the general public in the month of August.

As such, the usual Friday networking in Beijing is temporarily suspended till further notice, most probably immediately after the Beijing Olympic Games. For the month of August, we will be doing an inter-chamber networking in end Aug, with the Canadian, European Union and Malaysian chambers. Please look out for our announcements.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We wish Beijing Olympic Games all success!

Best regards.

各位会员、朋友，

北京奥运会即将盛大举行。

作为国际奥委会的指定酒店，我们商会平时举行周五北京联谊交流酒会的莱佛士北京饭店在奥运期间不对外开放。因此，商会例常的周五北京聚会也暂停一段时间，直到北京奥运会结束之后再恢复进行。

商会在八月份还会组织其他联谊交流活动，比如：八月底，我们准备与加拿大、欧盟、马来西亚等商会一起办联谊交流酒会。欢迎大家参加，请广大会员与朋友留意我们的通知。

对例常周五交流酒会的暂停我们表示由衷抱歉。

我们祝愿北京奥运会圆满成功！
