The Vietnam Britain Association, informally known as the 'Mekong
Club', is a non-political, non-commercial association: primarily
concerned with promotion of the cultures of Vietnam and adjacent
countries in the UK.
The
Club acts as a forum for exchange of information and ideas by:
 |
The promotion
of social and cultural events, tutorial groups and other meetings
|
|
|
 |
Maintenance
of world wide web pages and an address list for circulars
on 'events and ideas'.
|
Membership
is open to all, but it is envisaged that the club will be of particular
interest to:
 |
Expatriates from Vietnam living in the UK, with particular
emphasis given to maintaining cultural links amongst 2nd
and 3rd generation family members. |
|
|
 |
European
citizens wishing to maintain contact with people and issues in
Vietnam. |
|
|
|
Visitors from Vietnam needing temporary support whilst in
the UK. |
|
|
|
Citizens
in Vietnam, wishing to develop contacts in the UK. |
The
Club is organised by a chairperson, secretary and webmaster, with
a single, annual business meeting combined with a social event.
The secretariat is responsible for financial stewardship,
with a 'minimal' budget consisting of contributions for individual
events and newsletters.
An annual membership subscription of £10 is requested
per adult.
