The Annual Cricket Match of Rajans Old Boys’ Group of 94

As we have scheduled, The Annual Cricket Match was played at “Agriculture Research Center” Grounds at Gannoruwa – Peradeniya on 12th of December 2009. It was one of the spectacular grounds in Kandy. The event started at about 9 o’clock in the morning and the participation was beyond the expected crowd and it is a very good sign to the future of the Group.

Prior the cricket match a brief but very important meeting (General Meeting) was held to elect the officials. As everyone knows the previously elected officials (most of them) resigned due to personal issues such as leaving the island, career problems etc. Therefore the need of an active set of officials was felt strongly. (To learn more about the new officials please check the following post) General Meeting

It was an unforgettable event since the gathering evoked many unforgettable memories. Everyone chat about the funny memories we had during our school life. We played three matches. The “Team A” won two of them while the “Team B” had a solitary win.

Then it was party time for all of us. Ethanol was the main substance and DJ played some groovy music. Everyone enjoyed the event.

Thanks a lot guys for gathering and keeping the great spirit of RAJANS…

General Meeting 2009

As everyone knows the previously elected officials (most of them) resigned due to personal issues such as leaving the island, career problems etc. Therefore the need of an active set of officials was felt strongly. To overcome these difficulties and to the upliftment of the Group we decided to elect new officials. Therefore a GM (General Meeting) was called prior to the Annual Cricket Match.

Sanjeewa Hulangamuwa conveyed a brief but very important presentation about the projects and activities we successfully executed during past years. He illustrated the visuals of them and mentioned the feedback we got from the mob. Then we elected the officials for the Year 2010. They are as follows

President : Tharanga Gamage
Vice President : Duminda Eriyagama
Secretary : N. B. Abeykoon
Vice Secretry : Suresh Gunawardana
Treasurer : Anjula De Silva
Vice Treasurer : Indu Abesinghe

The new president Tharanga Gamage expressed his gratitude on behalf of the newly elected officials. Then we discussed mostly about the difficulties we faced during past years and about the measures to be taken to avoid such matters in the future. Then discussed about the upcoming mega-project “Open Air Theater” Since it was a huge project Hulangamuwa was elected as the Project Manager for it. He mentioned that some of the basics were already initiated.

The General Meeting ended with many new hopes and it is a sign of a giant leap forward.
