One of the best GTG!

This GTG organised by Kong & MTF, hosted by the Chopard team, was one of the best!

Belated Thanks To Kong, MTF and Chopard Team !

I fully agree with the rest who commented on this GTG. To add, I very much like to comment that it is a very interactive GTG arranged in a cosy,warmth and friendly manner.
