當今社會提倡和諧共處、民族和睦，虎年 的到來使這一意義更倍加鮮明。林拔芙協會的執委會、工作人員以及義工爲此特地精心為會員、華校師生及各界來賓觀衆安排一台精彩的文藝節目表演。初步確定的節目計有《醒獅拜年》、《南北武術》、《經典民樂》、《南國粵劇》、《民族舞蹈》和《名歌翻唱》等。此外，大廳内還將設有展示各種美術、藝術品的攤位。

由英國《UK中國象棋協會》派出的象棋好手屆時將光臨作示範表演，並与來賓、觀衆當場對弈作樂。聯歡會還有《卡拉OK大家唱》 這個衆人喜愛的項目；而今年的抽獎獎品更爲豐富、多彩，獎品更富留念價值。

林拔芙協會婦女組的義工還將特地為聯歡會製作各種品味的中式小吃、家鄉糕點等。像往年的南洋咖哩雞飯、羊城煎堆等都是格外美味可口的搶手貨。入場券（未包食物）成人一鎊五十，五至十五嵗儿童及少年一鎊，五嵗以下小兒免票。抽獎券每張五十便士。歡迎各界人士光臨，共同慶祝新春的來臨。
