In one month the club will celebrate its 35th anniversary marking it as one of the country’s more mature institutions and one with members whose apparent youth draws some inspiration from Dorian Gray.

Introduced and incisively evaluated by Joel, Garry gave a broad overview of our trade relations with China, asking us to consider our Government’s policy strategies toward this major market.
