Dear Canterbury Alumni Friends,

Registration is now closed.

The University of Canterbury Alumni Malaysia (UCAM), was established in 2002. This was an important step, as we are registered with the Registrar of Societies as a nationwide organization.



We have had a number of previous functions over the years, and we would like UCAM to have regular events.

One very popular event that was coordinated by UCAM, was a “Combined Alumni Dinner�, with over 100 Alumni from all of the New Zealand Universities.

UCAM would like to again coordinate a “Combined Alumni Dinner�, where invitations will be extended to all of the other New Zealand Universities Alumni. The New Zealand High Commissioner, David Kersey, has expressed his keen interest to host the “Combined Alumni Dinner� at the New Zealand Residence.

In the meantime, we are pleased to announce that the Annual Hannah Azizuddin Challenge Trophy 2009 is back, which is held on Labour Day, every year, and for this year, it will be held on Saturday, 2 May 2009, at the Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort located at Batu Gajah in Perak, to enable participants to enjoy the 3 day weekend from Friday 1 May to Sunday 3 May 2009.

The trophy was jointly donated by Mr Timothy Hannah, a former New Zealand High Commissioner based in Kuala Lumpur, and by Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Hj. Ahmad Azizuddin bin Hj. Zainal, a prominent Malaysian businessman, who is a graduate from the University of Otago.

The trophy is for a competition between 3 teams of golfers from (1) The Malaysia New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, (2) The Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort, and from (3) the combined New Zealand University Alumnis in Malaysia.

As the Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort is a beautiful place to relax, you may want to consider taking your family for a weekend vacation from Friday, 1st May to Sunday, 3rd May 2009. There are a number of wonderful Chalets that look out over the lakes in the Resort.

This is the 11th Year that the competition has been held, and it is growing in popularity every year, and we received very positive comments from the “regulars� that attend every year!!

We would like encourage as many New Zealand Universities Alumnis as possible, to participate in the event.

Kindly make your reservation as soon as possible. The closing date for this event is 27 April 2009.

For further information kindly refer to the attached Flyer, and fax all entry forms to 05-366 7434, or email to cws_mship@myjaring.net or contact: Faridah at 05-366 7998 / 012-469 2578 / 016 523 6183.
