RAS China will be voting in new and incumbent council members for the 2018–19 term at the AGM (Annual General Meeting). We invite all current RAS members to join us in reviewing the past year and looking forward to the future. The 2018 RAS Journal will also be launched at the end of the AGM and all members are invited to receive a complimentary copy and partake in the social afterwards with Roosevelt catered small bites and wines. We will be treated to a special performance of old Shanghai tunes by our journal publisher Graham Earnshaw.

With our best regards,
