Track Day

Tablers and Circlers,

The last inter table/ fellowship event of this tabling year was an event hosted by 4 tables which were Tables' 1,3,94 and 159 and it was the TRACK DAY event @ Sriperembattur race track on Sunday the 27th of June. The sun today chose to shine bright and hot and humid it was at the race track. We were 20 in total and had a couple of us tried our dare devils skills with the wheel. Hamir as expected won the first place in the 1200 to 1600cc category by crossing 300 meters in 13.04 seconds only . Our strength this day was close to Table 104 in attendance and this made us win the 2nd place for the Fellowship award which is actually second time this yr where we won the 2nd place

During the meeting we as 181'rs owed our credit of the best round table in the world to these lions club members because it was the project we did with them in Oct 2008 in Srilanka where 181'rs were in quorum got us those accolades. They were extremely happy with this news and yet again extended us a warm invitation for all of us to come there and do yet another good community service with them at Colombo in our next tabling year... We called each other long term international partners for cross country community services....

IPL SEMI FINALS FELLOWSHIP

T20 Cricket Zindabad !!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! was the feeling of joy during Madras Knights Round Table 181's IPL 3 semi finals fellowship @ our own Dr.Lanky's hotel. A total of 14 tablers ,7 circlers and 6 twinklers were there to cheer CSK team to pull of a victory in the last over. The emotion graph that day was a constant up down but finally stayed on the positive side. The second half was the most exciting and entertaining because all the adults in house and the kids cheered for all the wickets that fell of the BRC's. There was definitely an itch to guess and put a value against CSK not winning the way they performed in their batting that day but none had the heart to do it which turned out finally good because CSK survived from the jaws of a bad loss..... Over all it was an awesome fellowship with some great food and hospitality of Hotel cine city.

Way to go CSK and MKRT 181 !!! There will be a repeat of the same fellowship on the 25th April for the finals at the same venue and hope our cheering along with many other in the world make CSK take the IPL 3 trophy against all odds !!!.... Whistle podunga !!!!

YIT,

An Evening With Legends

Tablers and Circlers,
A party hosted by Tr. Rajiv Shah (MKRT 181) & Tr. Uttam (MSRT 159)
It was indeed our pleasure hosting this event and would like to thank the National Board and Area 2 chairman Tr. Prabhat for giving us an opportunity to host this momentous occasion. We had great fun and fellowship in the initial stages of planning for the event; however we did not know if we could actually do justice and had the capability to host an event of such magnitude and importance.
Chairman Area 2 had informed us that this was the one of its kind opportunity where you would get to host all the Legendary Past Presidents of this movement a feat which may not ever be repeated in future. Having taken up the challenge but with fear in mind and to ensure that all would go well and smooth we actually spent some sleepless nights in order to ensure that everything was planned to avoid any shortcomings.
As the day arrived we were informed that 16 Past Presidents, 1 current President and 2 incoming Presidents of this movement would be gracing our party apart from the National and Area Board Members. Now when has this been possible or would ever be possible - we were actually to host 17 Presidents and 2 incoming Presidents.
The parties was scheduled to start by 8.00pm but as the formal session took some time the party actually started the party only by 9.30pm but believe me all the guest were so pepped up and eager to party that in no time we had the dance floor and the DJ rocking the party with some latest dance numbers.
We had our own constrains in terms of the invitees but however ensured that we do our best to reach out to the whole of Area 2 giving them an opportunity to meet and enjoy fellowship with fellow tablers and the Past Presidents.
In the usual Area 2 style (Or should I say the 181 style) the party rocked and we also witness to some great dancing moves by our Past Presidents. It was fellowship at its best what with about 170 heads present it looked like a mini Area AGM. The party went on till late hours and everybody were in such HIGH SPIRITS (so much so that we practically ran out of liquor) but then that is the bonding and fellowship that we share in Area 2. A special mention to our area HT Satish who was at his usual best and ensured that all partied till late and if he had his way maybe the party could never stop.
We would like to again thank the National and Area board for having entrusted us with this wonderful opportunity and hope we have done justice to the faith and trust that you entrusted on
us.

Regards,
King of Goodtimes………….making impossible possible
