Name
The name of the Society shall be the University of Bristol Hong Kong Society. The Society shall be affiliated to the University of Bristol Union.

Aims
The Society is established to promote friendship between Hong Kong students. It also serves as a bridge between the Hong Kong students and the constituents of the University. In perspective, since Hong Kong is the watershed between the oriental and western culture, a blend of unique intellectual experience is therefore directed to the members, e.g. a selection of literature, music appreciation and the introduction to Hong Kong culture.
