For once, at least, I tend to agree with Siva. No matter whatever stage shows are planned, the inevitable of split groups will happen and let us face that. So let us have the stage shows out. For kids, let us have some magic show or small games be organized and let the "ladies circle" (minus ladies from our batch) handle that. The only logistics here will be to arrange some magician to come and engage them for 30 mins (if it is decided to go that way). and arranging for small games ideas. Wives and kids, i think will manage by themselves. Also can we get a professional photographer to shoot some stills. A LARGE group photo will be good, but considering the total no of people not sure if all of us+families will be accomodated ina single frame !!! However I am okay with a min (or less) of initial intro along with family on stage. PA system will be a good idea to announce things. I propose the following: 5.30 PM onwards: Arrival and Welcome drinks and starters6.00 pm to 7.00 pm : Introduction, on the stage.... 1 min per family (This again depends on all of us landing before 6 pm). 7.00 pm onwards : Socializing8.30 onwards: DinnerVijay From: b.sivakumar@xxxxxxxxx To: best_buddies@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; kanakaraj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: arumugavijayan@xxxxxxxxx; sankarakumar73@xxxxxxxxx; sraman09@xxxxxxxxx; pbmli@xxxxxxxxx; bala@xxxxxx; pvhari@xxxxxxxxx; brahadeesh@xxxxxxxxxxx; rganesan@xxxxxxxxx; jayabalan.subramanian@xxxxxxxxx; juliuskathy@xxxxxxxxx; c_kugan@xxxxxxxxx; pkumarappan@xxxxxxxxx; rajesh_rensa@xxxxxxxxxxx; manoj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; pmuthumanickam@xxxxxxxxxxx; varunshriram50@xxxxxxxx; ranganath_k@xxxxxxxxx; ravi.chandran@xxxxxxxxx; karthik_vaithy@xxxxxxxxx; vsalaiselvam@xxxxxxxxx; rsathishrao@xxxxxxxxx; eewacs@xxxxxxxxx; sheela_sun@xxxxxxxxx; pintusuresh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; ramapaddy@xxxxxxxxx; vijaymds@xxxxxxxxxxx; sundarv_33@xxxxxxxxxxx; nara55@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; a_sukumar_s@xxxxxxxxxxx; hramprasad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; kk_nathan@xxxxxxxxxxx; anand.db2@xxxxxxxxx; usalthaf_71@xxxxxxxxx; vsbavan_sg@xxxxxxxxx; jsvasan20@xxxxxxxxx; babukannan71@xxxxxxxxx; p.karthikeyan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; kalaiaswath@xxxxxxxxx; girish_rk60@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [best_buddies] Re: Get together Agenda - Less than a week to go... Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 10:34:11 +0530 Dear All, SUGGESTION: Try to avoid or minimize the stage shows. The objective of this meet is to meet all our friends at one place along with their family and to spend more time with our friends. Pls give more room for interactions with our friends rather diverting ourselves by doing different things like stage show and conducting games etc., Don't worry about kids & life partner - GANDHI NAGAR Club will entertain them on its own style or they them self find a way to engage them self . I am eagerly waiting for "THE DAY" to meet you all.

Karthik and Bala Thanks for taking your time out in finalizing the venue and menu. Re the PA system, it would be good if we can get a amp/mixer with an auxiliary input (I want to connect the laptop audio out). If the club is not providing it, we can hire it from outside. Another thing I would like to do is to add two columns to your excel sheet and fill in the email id & phone number of all batch mates. We can circulate this before the program to avoid spending time on this during the event. Warm Regards R.

Ganesh, Thats perfect. As we get closer to "THE DAY" it is important that there are no additions or deletions after this , just to ensure that we have a fare idea of the final number. I will travelling to Kerala this week and will be back by Friday where we can see the venue again or can take Bala's help in case you want to see before that. Bala : Thank you for helping on the venue and menu Please explore if we can get a Public address system in the club. Else managing a crowd would be difficult .. I am sure we are going to have sumptuous dinner that evening. We will start off with snacks + tea/coffee in the evening and will have a buffet dinner from 8:45 PM onwards with a mix of veg and non veg dishes. As much as possible please make it with your family to make this as a complete experience. It definitely requires a stretched effort but for sure is possible . Looking forward to meet you all on Saturday..

Friends Today, I discussed with Nalini and Karthik and here is the proposed agenda for this get together. I am sure you would agree with our point that there has to be a structured agenda for this party else people will split into groups & may defeat the whole purpose of this get together. · 6 pm : Welcome and starters. · 6.15 pm to 7.15 pm : Introduction… Each batchmates to go to the stage and give an update of them in couple of minutes max. We have close to 35 batch mates and it will be a challenge to get this within an hour. This will be in alphabetical order (just like our class attendance register). · 7.15 pm to 8.45 pm : We are planning for some games and cultural events. · Dinner will be served from 8.45 pm onwards. If someone’s got good party games for both kids and elders, please email me or contact me @ +91 994033 6919 (on Thursday or Friday) or skype me @ r.ganesan1. I am reaching India this Wednesday morning. I would like to invite our batch mates or their kids for any short performance. This can be singing, dancing or any other talent for not more than 5/10 minutes. Please intimate me in advance and get it confirmed with me. Looking forward to your co-operation. Karthik……I am not sure all are covered under this email group. Please include anyone I missed out. Warm Regards R.

Dear Karthi, Thanks for your call about the get-together. It is my daughter's sports day on 30th and I will be unable to join. Sorry, I wanted to somehow make it and hence I was till now discussing with her teachers and due to that this delay in my communication. Wish the get-together all success, we shall be missing all the fun. Cheers P.Kanakaraj On 20-07-2011 22:25, Ganesan Ramamoorthy wrote: Karthik Great going.
