Mark Tse (1972), based in Hong Kong, is kindly helping to link Alumni and students together in the Far East to share interests and perspectives. The first meeting in the region, with around ten Alumni and students, took place in Hong Kong with the Master present. Students came from all over China – Xian, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou – and provided much enthusiasm and fellowship. Alumni in the region who have an interest in attending such meetings are invited to contact Mark Tse (mcstse@netvigator.com). The Association is open to any Trinity member who has read Engineering or who has or is working in engineering. TEA has established a Mentorship program (with around thirty Alumni signed up as mentors) to foster closer ties between Alumni and students and bring the benefits of experience in real world engineering to the next generation of Trinity engineers. The Association constitution is available on the Alumni website. By the time this notice appears another meting should have been held in the Master’s Lodge on 29 October. After that the next meeting will be in February 2014.

President of the Cantabrigian crew) and beating all the colleges, First & Third Trinity Association while the 2nd Ladies’ VIII finished 25th. The 1st Men’s VIII unfortunately lost their annual battle with the current First and Third crew, and finished 24th overall (2nd invitational crew) while the 2nd Men’s VIII came in 41st. The Men’s and Ladies’ IVs finished 11th and 4th respectively. The Association once again hosted a drinks reception over lunch on Henley Saturday – surely the most exclusive car-park party in the world! As in previous years, the event was well attended, with members from many crews across the years joining. We look forward to seeing more of you there in 2014. Black Prince Boat Club is planning a return to the Head of the Charles regatta in Boston this year after a few years absence, as a number of US-based members
