本年度利物浦校友餐會於民國101年03月24日在臺南大學舉辦。本次餐會由2011年應屆畢業生主辦，校友會幹部協辦，當天並共有31位校友共襄盛舉。The annual luncheon of the University of Liverpool Taiwan Alumni took place this year on the 24th of March at National University of Tainan. The main coordinators of the event are the fresh graduates of 2011, and the alumni association assisted in organizing. There were a total of 31 alumni attending the event this year.
利物浦大學校友大使台灣代表Sandy於02月初開始與主辦單位籌備本次餐會事宜。基於本屆會長為國立臺南大學校長黃秀霜校友，希望能夠藉此機會讓各位校友與會長能夠有更貼近的互動，因此將本次餐會地點訂為臺南。籌備過程中，校友大使擔任學校、會長、以及主辦團隊之溝通橋梁。當天活動是由主辦團隊負責，地點、餐點則是由會長負責張羅。
Alumni Ambassador for Taiwan, Sandy, convened meetings at the beginning of Februrary to discuss related matters. Since the President of our Alumni Association, Ms. Huang, currently hold the position of President of National University of Tainan, Tainan became the ideal place for the luncheon this year. The alumni ambassador played the role of bridging communication among Liverpool University Alumni Office, Ms. Huang, and also the coordinators of the event. The new graduates of 2011 formed a team to design activities during the luncheon, and Ms. Huang kindly took care of the venue and catering issues.
很可惜本次餐會由於校友代表，Hannah Stelman因行程上的安排無法配合所以無緣參加，不過Hannah精心準備了一段影片，在餐會上與我們分享他想對我們說的話。
Unfortunately, Taiwan representative, Hannah Stelman, of the International Team couldn't make it to the luncheon this year. However, she did manage to say a few words to the alumni through a pre-videoed clip.
餐會於當天11:30入席，黃會長親切的主動與各位參與的校友們相識。在2011年學生會會長April的開場之下，餐會正式開始。黃會長於開場致詞中表示有意想將利物浦大學校友會向內政部登記為正式的財團法人社團的意願。兼任副會長的校友大使也表示，利大副校長於去年（2011年）底造訪臺灣時曾表達過希望世界各地的校友會最後都能夠成立一個幫助經濟上有困難的學生們一圓留學夢的基金會。若是以基金會為目標，登記將成為校友會首先必須達成的目標。
The luncheon commenced at 11:30. Ms. Huang gave all attendees a warm welcome with her greetings. April, the 2011 Student Association President, annuonced the start of the luncheon. Ms. Huang delivered a few words, expressing her desire to regiest our association as a formal association with the Ministry of the Interior. Sandy, who is also the vice-president of the alumni association, shared in her remarks, the short visit of Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Liverpoool, Professor Michael Hoey, where he had stated his dream of alumni associations around the world, forming funds to assist students in need achieve their dream of studying abroad. If this is the ultimate goal of the association, then formalising the association is an inevitable step.
各位校友用餐之餘，主辦團隊精心準備了兩種不同的活動。活動設計的宗旨為讓校友回味或重新認識利物浦這個城市，以及促進校友之間的互動。主辦單位為了第一個活動精心準備了許多利物浦城市以及校區的照片製作成投影片，並且在觀賞照片後向各位校友提出各式問題，答對者即可累計分數。
Whilst enjoying the meal, two different activities took place. These were designed to reminisce Liverpool, and also motivate a closer interaction among the alumni. The first activity involved a slideshow of pictures of the city, each team had to answer questions related to these slides.
在各位校友報到時，主辦團隊也派人為每一位校友拍攝個人照。此舉為第二項活動之準備工作。在第一項活動開始之前，每一位校友必須向大家自我介紹一番。在第一項活動結束之後，投影片撥放出哪一位校友，大家則須搶答，並說出稍早自我介紹中該校友所提供之個人資訊。藉由此活動增加校友之間的互動。
Pictures of each alumnus/a were taken before the commencement of the luncheon. This was in preparation of the second activity. Everyone gave a brief introduction of themselves, and after the end of the first activity, points were given to whoever can tell a bit about the alumnus/a whose picture was displayed on the screen. It was a convenient way for everyone to get to know a bit more about each other.
餐會結束前，會長請各位校友填上資料，為登記為正式社團做準備。另外，因考量到北部校友較多又因目前副會長身兼兩職（同時為校友大使），為有效分工以及提昇校友會團隊的服務，因此會長多指派了一位副會長 – 汪家昌教授。除副會長之外，更指派Shen許璇為秘書、當天表現優異的主持人Jeremy以及Peggy為活動組組長。財務長為April。希望校友會在多了這幾位幹部後能夠更提供校友們更多更多元化的服務。最後，會長親切的與每位校友道別，並且還不忘送上為了本餐會所準備的伴手禮，讓各位校友除了吃喝玩樂，更還能帶著小小的紀念品回家留念。
After the luncheon, Ms. Huang asked the alumni to fill in forms, so as to prepare for formal registration. Also, in consideration of the number of alumni in Taipei, Ms Huang has appointed another vice-president in order to decrease the work load of the current vice-president. Professor Jia-Chang Wang had been appointed that position. Also, Shen had been appointed secretary, Jeremy and Peggy, the MC pair of the day, had been assigned to take care of activity designing for future events, and April had been appointed treasury. With these extra positions appointed, the alumni association hopes to offer better services to the alumni community. At the end of the event, Ms Huang heartily said goodbye to each and every attendee, and also sent everyone home with a souvenir she had personally prepared.
明年校友餐會擬在臺北舉辦。希望錯過這兩年餐會的校友們屆時能夠抽空參與，讓我們一年比一年還要辦得更好。
Next year, the annual luncheon is to be held in Taipei. Hopefully, those who had missed out on the previous two luncheons will have the time to join us. Please help us become better each year!
