The Toronto Chapter 2024 Louis Pomeroy Memorial Mah Jong Tournament and Spring Dinner were held on 10 March 2024, at NKS Banquet Hall (帝豪名宴), with more than 48 MJ players at 7 competing tables and 5 non-competing tables, and a total of 212 old boys and guests for dinner. It was an exciting and joyous occasion indeed;
Two retired teachers, Mr. Joseph Yu (1961), and Mr. Shum Mow Kee were with us, Ms.Carlie Yip who taught at LSPS, also joined our dinner.
The mahjong competition was fierce and lasted the entire afternoon. The Louis Pomeroy Memorial Trophy was presented by our chapter president, Kevin Kwok (1988), to the highest-scoring old boy, Gregory Chen (62).
We want to sincerely thank our chapter director, Ambrose Cheung (1969), who secured a good deal with the restaurant. He is the best floor manager. Several old boys sponsored lucky draw prizes. Overall, about 1 of 2 attendees won prizes, and we could not be more thankful. Among them, Dr. William Chan (1969) prepared 12 grand prizes.
Our Chapter would also like to thank all the members of the organizing committee namely, Danny Au Yeung (67), Ambrose Cheung (69), Ken Wong (90), Raymond Dau (91), Chris Fong (94), Michael Kong (94), Alex Tsoi (2016) and Kenny Fong (2017).

Background of Louis Pomeroy Memorial Mah Jong Tournament At the February 2011 Board meeting, the Chapter directors voted unanimously to name henceforth the chapter’s annual spring mahjong tournament the Louis Pomeroy Memorial Trophy Mahjong Tournament in honor and memory of Louis Pomeroy (1941), who left us peacefully on February 1, 2011. Louis was one of the most senior old boys of the Toronto Chapter, and a very loyal one, too. He served as 1st V.P. on the LSCOBA(HK) Committee in the mid-1960s, and was an incumbent director (2009-2011) of the Toronto Chapter. The mahjong tournament was his favorite chapter event
The busy season is in full swing, and so were the Toronto Chapter! On September 17th, a group of alumni came together for the annual Brother Thomas Cup golf tournament at Wyndance Golf Club. We were lucky to have over 24 participants this year, who all had an amazing time catching up and showing off their golf skills.
The match was then followed by an award ceremony at Venue Starchiva Cuisine where winners of the match got to celebrate their victories with a nice dinner and pictures.
A big shoutout to our champion, John Yeung (73), as well as our 1st runner up Peter Ma (81) and 2nd runner up Phillip Wong (67).
We would also like to extend a special note of thanks to William Chan (69) and John Yeung (73) who have volunteered their time to organize the event.
