I
am so pleased to see the enthusiasm amongst you all for your enthusiasm
in organising the next Get Together in 2018.( I am only copying this to
a very few but please share these details with any of your mates known
to you)
Of the previous veterans, only Kapu is not with us for any active help except in spirit.
As I said earlier, this Get Together would also be a nice way of showing our gratitude to his leadership.
I
am also pleased to hear that Asoka ( Dissa) has agreed to take an
active role if the meetings are held in Colombo during the week days.
I
am also aware the willingness of Lucky Jayasekera, Ranjini
Thevarapperuma( I do not have her contact details) Nalini Rodrigo and
Duru amongst many others domiciled in Sri Lanka.
Udula will be in Sri Lanka very soon & she would hopefully contact most of you for further details.
I leave it to you to decide the composition of the ‘Team’.
The
most important item would be to decide on the tentative dates. As
indicated earlier, we would never get a consensus but I would suggest we
plan for September 2018 preferably a week end preceding or proceeding
the COMSAA ReUnion( and avoid a clash of the dates)
We do need to give adequate notice for those who are willing & keen to participate.
We
have not had the opportunity to meet some of the batch mates at any of
the past Get Togethers but we are equally optimistic of those who would
very likely be willing and keen to join. Numbers may be dwindling but we
do have to accept the reality.
A location within 25 mls from Colombo would be attractive and the minimum would be one Saturday/Sunday with facilities to stay the previous night for those who wish.
Getting
a reasonable hotel discount would be great and any sponsorship for
some of the expenses if at all possible would be an added bonus.
Those
who are domiciled overseas, could identify ourselves as the contact
person(s) to mobilise some of our batch mates from the respective
countries and also offer some form of assistance if agreed.
I
sincerely hope you would take the initiative without any further delay
and wish you very best wishes and every success in your endeavour.
Best wishes
Nana
