What a night to remember - 50 years on!

Earlier this month, a truly special moment unfolded in Hong Kong. For the first time in 50 years, five former Old Doverians—Eric Wong (S73–75), Benny Lam (L72–76), Tommy Kwan (L72–74), Joseph Wang (M73–77), and Ivan Poon (M72–76)—came together again, rekindling friendships that began during their school days at Dover College in the early 1970s.

What began as a simple dinner outing for Eric and his son blossomed into an unforgettable reunion. As the group gathered around the table, time seemed to stand still. The decades melted away in an instant, replaced by the familiar warmth of camaraderie, shared memories, and the kind of laughter that only old friends can spark.

Stories of youthful adventures, classroom antics, and cherished traditions flowed freely, weaving together the threads of the past with the joy of the present. Though life had taken each of them on different journeys across the world, the bond forged at Dover proved timeless—reminding them all that true friendship never fades, it simply waits to be rediscovered.

The evening was more than just a reunion; it was a celebration of legacy, connection, and the enduring spirit of Dover College. For Eric, Benny, Tommy, Joseph, and Ivan, it felt as though they were back in the halls of Dover once again—older, wiser, but still united by the same sense of belonging that first brought them together.
