The BIRTH OF THE BLOG -WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2011
As we start planning for our 50th Anniversary of
entering medical school, I have taken the first steps
in developing a simple blog for easier communication.
It is primarily for the 1962 entrants to the Colombo
Medical Faculty of the University of Ceylon (as it was then known).
The blog will carry important news items, pictures,
e-mail messages, announcements etc. Please feel
free to send in your comments to:
colmedgrads1962@gmail.com or direct to
my personal e-mail address: adnl1102@gmail.com.
We can improve on it as we go on and gather momentum.Lakshman Abeyagunawardene (Lucky)

Subject: Reunion Deadlines
I am aware that there are two deadlines that you have to think about. One was our own deadline for confirmations (December 5th). The other is the deadline to pay the advance to the hotel.
Lucky Abey adnl1102@gmail.com
DEAR FRIENDS,
DECEMBER 5TH WAS THE DEADLINE SET FOR THE RECEIPT OF CONFIRMATIONS. AS INFORMED EARLIER,
I AM SHARING WITH
ALL MEMBERS OF THE BATCH (AND THOSE IN MY E-MAIL LIST), THE ATTACHED LIST OF THOSE WHO
HAVE ALREADY SENT IN CONFIRMATIONS AND WILL BE ATTENDING THE REUNION. THIS LIST IS
BEING SHARED WITH ALL (INCLUDING THOSE NOT PLANNING TO ATTEND), JUST FOR THEIR INFORMATION.
THERE ARE ABOUT FIVE MORE WHO HAVE GIVEN VERBAL ASSURANCES BUT DON'T USE E-MAIL.
IN CONSULTATION WITH THE REST OF THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE AND FOLLOWING OTHER MEANS
OF COMMUNICATING WITH SUCH INDIVIDUALS, I MIGHT HAVE TO ADD THEIR NAMES TO THIS LIST.
I HAVE ALREADY SENT THE "CONFIRMED ATTENDEES", DETAILS OF THE PROCEDURE FOR ADVANCE
PAYMENTS. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE HOTEL TO HOLD THE ROOMS AS MARCH WILL STILL BE
WITHIN THE "PEAK" PERIOD. THE HOTEL WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGING ALL PAYMENTS.
WHEN YOU MAKE THE ADVANCE PAYMENT, PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED SO THAT SUCH
OTHER DETAILS COULD BE ADDED AND A FINAL UPDATED LIST COULD BE PREPARED.
THANKS AND REGARDS.

PS: VPH RAJAPAKSA IS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ANOTHER "BACHELOR" TO SHARE A ROOM.
I HAVE ADVISED HIM TO CONTACT NIHAL GOONETILLEKE AND CHITTA TO EXPLORE THAT
POSSIBILITY. OTHER MALES WHO WILL BE COMING ALONE HAVE ALREADY PAIRED OFF OR
PREFER SINGLE ROOMS.
DEAR FRIENDS,
I AM PLEASED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT JETWING HOTELS HAS CONFIRMED OUR RESERVATION AT JETWING BLUE, NEGOMBO ON THE DATES OF OUR REUNION ON 3, 4, 5 MARCH, 2017. THEY HAVE ALSO PROVIDED THE DETAILS OF THE PROCEDURE TO MAKE THE ADVANCE PAYMENT.

THE AMOUNT WILL BE 50% OF THE ROOM CHARGE. IF YOU ARE SHARING A ROOM WITH A FRIEND, PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. YOU CAN DECIDE THAT BY CONTACTING YOUR ROOM MATE BEFORE MAKING THE PAYMENT. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, THE ROOM CHARGES ARE GIVEN BELOW:
ROOM CHARGES - SLR 26,000/- NETT PER DOUBLE ROOM (TWIN SHARING BASIS)
SINGLE ROOM: RS 22,250/-

WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE ABOVE LINK AND GIVE THE NAME OF THE HOTEL (FROM THE DROP DOWN BOX) AND THE REFERENCE NUMBER, A NEW SCREEN REQUESTING MORE INFORMATION ON THE PAYER WILL APPEAR. THE REST IS LIKE ANY OTHER PAYMENTS YOU HAVE DONE BEFORE THROUGH A PAYMENT GATEWAY.

50TH ANNIVERSARY BATCH REUNION 2017
DEAR COLLEAGUES,
THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE (SWYRIE, PRAM, SRIANI AND MYSELF) MET ON 22 NOVEMBER
AND TOOK SOME IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
1. THE DATES (3,4 AND 5 MARCH, 2017) REMAIN UNCHANGED.
2. THERE HAD BEEN MANY REQUESTS FOR A CHANGE IN THE VENUE THAT WAS DECIDED ON EARLIER
(CINNAMON LODGE, HABARANA) MAINLY DUE TO THE DISTANCE FROM COLOMBO.
WE HAVE NOW DECIDED TO HAVE THE UPCOMING BATCH REUNION AT THE JETWING BLUE, NEGOMBO.
HOTEL TERMS AND OTHER DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
ROOM CHARGES - SLR 26,000/- NETT PER DOUBLE ROOM (TWIN SHARING BASIS)
SINGLE ROOM: RS 22,250/-
TRIPLE ROOM: RS 33,000/-
ALL ABOVE ON FULL BOARD BASIS. WE PLAN TO LEAVE ON FRIDAY AND RETURN ON SUNDAY AFTER BREAKFAST.
HOTEL STAY WILL BE FOR ONLY TWO NIGHTS. TIME OF DEPARTURE FROM COLOMBO WILL BE NOTIFIED LATER.
OCCUPANTS WILL HAVE TO SETTLE THEIR ROOM BILLS DIRECT TO THE HOTEL AT THE TIME OF CHECK OUT.
EXTRA PAYMENT: MEMBERS OF THE BATCH WILL HAVE TO MAKE AN EXTRA PAYMENT OF SLR 25,000/- PER ROOM
(THIS WILL COVER TRANSPORT TO HOTEL IN NEGOMBO, ENTERTAINMENT INCLUDING BAND, WINES, CORKAGE, BEER,
SOFT DRINKS, RS 2500 PER HEAD AS COVER CHARGE FOR DINNER DANCE ON SATURDAY ETC FOR MEMBER AND SPOUSE).
ANY GUESTS ACCOMPANYING THE MEMBER AND SPOUSE WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE EXTRA PAYMENT
OF RS 25,000/- SEPARATELY (PER EACH ADDITIONAL ROOM). WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS OF MEMBERS OF THE BATCH WHO
WILL BE ATTENDING WILL BE CONSIDERED AS MEMBERS OF THE BATCH.
VERY IMPORTANT: WE ARE UNABLE TO GO AHEAD WITH ARRANGEMENTS UNLESS WE KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER
ATTENDING. THEREFORE, WE KINDLY REQUEST YOU TO LET US KNOW BEFORE 5 DECEMBER 2016 (THE VERY LATEST)
WHETHER YOU WILL BE ATTENDING.
THE EXTRA PAYMENT OF RS 25,000/- CAN BE PAID ANY TIME BEFORE 3 MARCH 2017 TO PRAM. IT IS ADVISABLE
THAT YOU ARRANGE WITH SOMEONE LIVING IN SRI LANKA TO ADVANCE THE AMOUNT IN SL CURRENCY AND FOR YOU
TO SETTLE THAT WITH THE PERSON CONCERNED. IT WILL BE FAR MORE CONVENIENT AND CHEAPER THAN TRYING TO SEND
ACROSS FOREIGN CURRENCY THROUGH A BANK TO SL FROM ANY PART OF THE WORLD.
THE ABOVE INFORMATION COVERS THE BARE ESSENTIALS TO ENABLE YOU TO TAKE A DECISION. IT IS APPLICABLE
TO THOSE DOMICILED ABROAD AS WELL AS LOCAL RESIDENTS.
FURTHER UPDATES WILL BE MAILED ONLY TO THOSE CONFIRMING PARTICIPATION BY 5 DECEMBER 2016.
REGARDS,

I suppose it is early days but any idea where we might have the Grand Reunion? Hope AC will be available wherever you choose.
http://www.cinnamonhotels.com/cinnamonlodgehabarana/default.html
The Organising Committee (Swyrie, Pram, Sriani and myself) met on 22 November and took some important decisions.
1. The dates (3,4 and 5 March, 2017) remain unchanged.
2. There had been many requests for a change in the venue that was decided on earlier (Cinnamon Lodge, Habarana) mainly due to the distance from Colombo.
We have now decided to have the upcoming Batch Reunion at the Jetwing Blue, Negombo.
Hotel terms and other details are as follows:
Room charges - SLR 26,000/- nett per double room (twin sharing basis)
Single room: Rs 22,250/-
Triple room: Rs 33,000/-
All above on Full Board basis. We plan to leave on Friday and return on Sunday after breakfast. Hotel stay will be for only two nights. Time of departure from Colombo will be notified later.
Occupants will have to settle their room bills direct to the hotel at the time of check out.
Extra payment: Members of the batch will have to make an extra payment of SLR 25,000/- per room (This will cover transport to hotel in Negombo, entertainment including band, wines, corkage, beer, soft drinks, Rs 2500 per head as cover charge for dinner dance on Saturday etc for member and spouse). Any guests accompanying the member and spouse will have to make the extra payment of Rs 25,000/- separately (per each additional room). Widows and widowers of members of the batch who will be attending will be considered as members of the batch.
Very Important: We are unable to go ahead with arrangements unless we know the exact number attending. Therefore, we kindly request you to let us know before 5 December 2016 (the very latest) whether you will be attending.
The extra payment of Rs 25,000/- can be paid any time before 3 March 2017 to Pram. It is advisable that you arrange with someone living in Sri Lanka to advance the amount in SL currency and for you to settle that with the person concerned. It will be far more convenient and cheaper than trying to send across foreign currency through a bank to SL from any part of the world.
The above information covers the bare essentials to enable you to take a decision. It is applicable to those domiciled abroad as well as local residents.
Further updates will be mailed only to those confirming participation by 5 December 2016.
Regards,
Lucky
