1st Annual Hungarian LSE Alumni - Ministry for National Economy Tennis Tournament

1st Annual Hungarian LSE Alumni - Ministry for National Economy Tennis Tournament

On 7 May we organised the first Annual Hungarian LSE Alumni Association - Ministry for National Economy Tennis Tournament in Budapest.

Throughout the (mostly) sunny day nine teams competed for the torunament's trophies. Our special guest of honour was Mr. Patrick Mears, Chair of the LSE Alumni Association, who - amongst notable businessmen, decision makers and a constitutional court judge - took part in the games. We were also delighted to welcome Ms Pia Wagner, Vice President of the Geman Friends of LSE. The event was concluded by the award ceremony and reception, attended by members of the diplomatic corps, including the British Ambassador to Budapest and the soon-to-be Hungarian Ambassador to London, as well as one of the State Secretaries of the Ministry for National Economy.

We thank the Ministry for their partnership, PWC, Heineken and BAE Systems for the generous sponsorship, and Emese Nyitrai and Sári Volom for the pictures! We are especially grateful for the co-organizers of the event, Máté Martin and Zoltán Csedő. It was their enthusiasm and dedicated leadership that made this event an enormous success.
