Dear Philip

Please find attached a selection of photos taken at the 10th Anniversary Celebrations of the Sri Lankan Psychiatric Assocation. As you can see there is a photograph of Murugananthan, wife and myself, one of some of our batch mates already gathered - Jayaretnam and wife, Carlisle and Megan, Murugananthan and wife, Kapugama and wife, Sidney and myself and Rasamuttiah.
We were surprised that there were 7 of us from our batch at this gathering.
The last photo is of Sidney and myself also taken at the celebration.
Please circulate to batch mates as this is another opportunity to share professional activities that some of us are undertaking in the UK.
Kind regards.
