ORUAE AGM 2003 & FAMILY
GET-TO-GETHER
DATE:
11th Dec 2003
EVENT:
ORUAE Annual General Meeting - 2003 And Family Get-To-Gether
The ever improving Old Royalists in UAE (ORUAE) group added
another feather in to their cap in their brief history of existence, by planning
out this year’s AGM together with a dinner dance in a small scale in Dubai’s
famous Marco Polo Hotel.
Again the dinner charges for the Old Royalist members were subsidized by the
committee to attract greater participation of membership. About 54 ORUAE members
participated in the AGM. A surprise gift of Men’s perfume bottle was given to
every member who entered the conference hall to take part in the AGM. . It was
appropriately named as `ROYALE’ by Rasasi perfumes and was organized by courtesy
our committee member Sujith Jayawardhana.
Part of the El Rancho night club & the adjacent Buffet dinner area were uniquely
decorated by Royal `blue & Gold’ flags & Balloons and gave the Royalists a boost
to their Royal feelings. To rekindle the memories of our dearest ALMA MATAR, a
video projection was done on a large screen inside EL Rancho which gave
everybody in the night club a hint of our great pedigree!! Thanks to our
committee member Sirimevan Illankoon for preparing the Video material.
After a few Royal spirits down the throat with a few rounds in the dance floor;
tapping the feet to the tune of S’lankan band `Friends’ & in between having a
cordial chit chat with fellow Royalists who had turned up in very good numbers
all the way from Abu Dhabi, every body moved to enjoy a sumptuous dinner catered
by new –name-in-town; ` Karu’s Island’!! Await the Minutes of the Meeting to be
sent on your mail
