email from 'Kalu Nana', another get-together of 1960 entrants Batch.

Calling all our Batch Mates (1960 Colombo medical Entrants)







Dear all


1960 Colombo medical entrants ( 1960 batch)- Special appeal to all


Can we at the outset wish all our batch mates a very merry Christmas and a very happy and a prosperous New Year 2013.

Those who are still alert and reasonably active and have access to internet, must be enjoying  the regular updates and  variety of  ‘anecdotes’ sent out by our energetic   web master  Philip. It is also likely that some of the batch mates tend to ‘meet and greet’ in small groups at different locations.

Our last formal Batch Get Together held in July 2010 at Habarana was  very successful and appreciated by all the attendees. Not everyone joined but a majority did and the general consensus was- ‘wonderful  Occasion’ indeed. 3 cheers once again to our ‘Organisers’.

We have  so far managed to meet every 5 years  but with our rapid decline in our  mental and physical faculties with our advancing years( if only it fits), why not consider an earlier ‘Batch get Together’ say in December 2013?
We have been very fortunate to have the expertise of our ‘permanent Organising committee’ led by Kapu.   Habarana had been a wonderful location too. But the access from Colombo had not been that easy for a majority.

Can we make this humble appeal to the organising Committee to seriously consider planning ahead for the next ‘Batch Get Together’ once again earlier than the 5 year cycle.

Can we also suggest an out side location closer to Colombo ( say within 40-50 mile radius) to minimise long distance travel.
As usual, ex patriots’ domiciled  overseas would offer their support in what ever means (within reason).

If no one responds to this we can presume that  you have completely rejected this daft  appeal.

Best wishes
