   Keep the old traditions alive specially Kolkata ,which I miss very much ,as I was part of the ex-lion dance club CHUNG CHING of China town, Terretti bazar . So hope I could attend in the coming year.

   Lucy,

   Pei May school is known in tangra, I would suggest you ask around 47 South Tangra Road, anyone you ask along the main road would show you the direction. It is a landmark in the area.

   Edmund,

   As for the schedule every year is the same unless otherwise noted.

   Happy New to you all ! Enjoy the festivities !

   Lucy,

   One more reminder try to attend the fete on feb 16 and 17, sharpen your dart or ball throwing skills prior to the big days, try to win the big prizes. Good luck.

    Kung Hey Fat Choi to all the Calcuttans in China Town. Missing the atmosphere and the spirit especially at this day of the year and wish the spirit will keep continuing through out the lives as we carry-on.

    Keep up the good spirit.

    Wishing you all a very Happy Chinese New Year and may the Tiger year brings good luck and fortune to everyone at home.
