Question about Helena May
Wed, 2009-09-09 02:09 — Anonymous
I'm planning a trip to HK and am looking at the Helena May as a place to stay. It looks like a great place but because it's an old building I'm concerned about cockroaches. Is there anyone who can vouch for the Helena May? I'm not a clean-freak at all but roaches freak me out.
Helena May & cockroaches
I've only been to the meeting rooms, but they're always very clean and tidy. Not a roach in sight!
Can any Helena May members add to this?
roach free but very busy
Ok, I confess I'm a member.
It is scrupulously tidy and clean. You could eat off the floors if you wish. But there is not often accomodation available, you need to book months in advance, so you'd be lucky if they have space.
If you don't get in, the Bishop Lei is a good alternative.
was hoping you can help~
Hello there,
I am hoping to hold my wedding at the Helena May venue next year, but its restricted to members only. I was wonderign whether you will be able to help me? Many many thanks~

membership drive
They're having a membership drive at the moment.
Go to the website and download the membership form:
http://www.helenamay.com/main_membership.htm
Take it back to the office in person and Joanne will help you to find 2 members (having lunch or reading the newspaper) to recommend and second you.
Membership is only about $3000 to join and $3000 per year (off the top of my head, it may be a bit more now), and often they waive the joining fee if they're needing new members.
Compared to the cost of a wedding, that's not much, and you can have the benefit every day!
Ask for membership as a wedding present!
This is not the right way
I’m a member of this club too. I do not like ppl only joining this club for their wedding. This is not a club for this kind of ppl. I enjoy using this club becos of the facilities and their quality members who joined the club for leisure and socialize with members and friends and not for using the venue for their one-off function. I do not think you could join this club like that easy. If this is the case, I will withdraw my membership. Please find other venue, e.g.in hotel, for your wedding!
Helena May as a wedding venue
Hi
You don't have to be a member to hold a wedding reception at The Helena May. Contact the General Manager, Betty Simpson for details and a tour of the club.
I am amazed by the simple and
I am amazed by the simple and classy look & feel of Helena May, and thinking it will be great to hold wedding or any kind of party/event there too, is anyone willing to help and propose/second me for the membership? I have already filled in the application form and hoping it will speed up the procedure if recent member could propose me.
Appreciated it =)
Helena May as a venue - members only
I wrote to the Helena May to get an official answer. I asked:
I saw the pages for Function Rooms & Weddings on your website. Please can I check if these are available for the general public to hire, or only for members?
I received this reply from Ms Celia Lee:
The Helena May is a private members' club and our facilities are only available for use by members and their guests. To join the club, you need to be proposed and seconded by two members. The admission fee is $4,000 and the monthly subscription is $450.
So if you want to get married there, the first step is to become a member.
