Great offer from the Irish Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong
http://www.irishchamber.hk/
One return flight HKG-LHR CW for BA Gold.
I think membership to the Chamber is around HKD600 and I do not think there are restrictions on joining.
Hopefully of use to someone.

Only a "chance", meaning probably some lottery.
The 'free" flight is just the normal award you can get on HKG-SIN from all the avios you will have collected on HKG-LHR-HKG in J.

I would strike a different tone to the previous posters; admittedly the phrase is used such that it sounds as if receiving status is not guaranteed, but I would *not* actually interpret it as being meant quite as rigidly as that.
(I don't know if this is unique to Hiberno-English, but if I said, as a member of the HK Irish CoC, "I'm giving you a chance for claiming BAEC Gold, and here is how you get it", I wouldn't necessarily mean that you may not get the status even if you do what is prescribed for getting the status, but rather: that you may or may not get, only dependent on whether you decide to do what is prescribed. Or stated another way - a chance is provided - and the only uncertainty is whether you actually take that chance.).
But before someone joins the CoC and buys their Club World flight from HKG to LHR before 31.10.2014 - I would advise you to verify this with the CoC.

The offer as it was interpreted first was just " to be too good to be true" .

Someone reported on a separate thread that this CW flight was 29800 HKD per agreement with the Irish Chamber of Commerce. Anyone able to substantiate that? Also is it clear that this must be a return. The wording in the announce says "Fly to London" though later in the add it refers to a round trip HKG-LHR-HKG earning enough for a return to Singapore or BKK.

Your best bet it to contact them.
The 29800HKD is to anywhere in Europe with no stopover in London allowed.
