The original plan of 1 banquet has been added to 3 banquets
The Democratic Party used to hold an annual party fundraising dinner, but it was canceled in the past two years due to the new crown epidemic.
This year, the Democratic Party resumed its banquet, and the name was changed from "Fundraising Dinner" to "Annual Banquet". Originally there was only one banquet, but due to the overwhelming response, it has been added to three luncheons, evening banquets and dinners.
Yuan Haiwen, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Democratic Party, said in an inquiry from "Hong Kong 01" that the current ticket sales situation is satisfactory, and it is expected that the tickets will be sold out within a week.
He said that due to the restrictions of the epidemic, the number of people at each event is limited to 120, so this banquet is mainly based on neighborhood friends and Democratic Party supporters.
When asked if there would be an "additional event" due to the overwhelming response, Yuan Haiwen pointed out that there is no such plan at present, because three banquets have been held that day, and finding another date to hold the banquet will involve the problem of manpower for preparations.
He said that due to the heating up of the epidemic, he believed that the upper limit of 120 people would not be relaxed in a short period of time, and admitted that this was the biggest restriction for this banquet.
As for which political and business celebrities participated, Yuan Haiwen said that the Democratic Party participated in a friendly manner, but there was no list to announce for the time being, and he also said that no government officials were invited to attend.
