email from Nalini re audiovisual equipment.
I've at last managed to get some response from Indu of Keels regarding the audio-visual equipment. But I'm afraid she couldnt give a guarantee that all will be well. She said they are in the throes of refurbishing & still everything was in a state of flux & couldnt guarantee that we could hold the sessions at the Lodge. Was surprised to know there may be 150 attending (including spouses)! But she assured me that we neednt worry as she has made alternative arrangements with The Village where they should be able to accommodate us! Also said we may have to pay extra for the multi-media facilities, but couldnt give even a rough estimate.So there's much more work to be done here.Thought I'd better keep you all informed.Nalini

Karals,
Yes, we agree with you. Sidney & I are aware of the outstanding contribution made to Sri Lankan Cricket by Daya & Ranjini not just in the 90's but well before. Our recollections go back to the early 80's when the " Pandita- Gunawardena " household was a buzz with activity for SL cricket. We joined in those early years in the many events organised for fund raising, celebrating & get togethers!Daya carefully nurtured & supported the team & of cousre this was enabled by Ranjini. Yes their generosity, dedication & determination to see our cricket team attain great heights & thereby our motherland gain international recognition is highly commendable.They continue to support SL cricket 3 decades on. Well Done "Pandita-Gunawardena " team.Long may it continue!!
