Join us for our Chinese New Year inspired event aboard The Tall Ship on the banks of the River Clyde.

Enjoying some delicious Chinese food and wine, members will have the opportunity to network with one another in the cabin of The SV Glenlee, which has transported goods throughout the world in her former life as a Cargo ship.

Recognising the Chinese New Year and the importance of the Chinese markets globally, members will have the chance to hear from China Business Advisor, Vince Cunningham of the China Britain Business Council (see biography below) and two members who have experienced trading with China.
