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
