Ananda Business Group sponsors golf
Primal Wijenayake a prominent old Anandian heads the Ananda Business Group with distinction ably assisted by the silent stalwart Rohan de Silva. The two of them merged superbly and with a few "helpkarayas" organized an extremely successful Golf encounter at the Victoria Golf Club at Digana.

Founder Remembered
Colonel Henry Steele Olcott founder of Ananda College was remembered when a handsome Trophy was donated for competition in the Open event. Sam Gunaratne won the Olcott Trophy following an impressive performance. In the event for Anandians only Wasantha de Silva of Hero Honda connections wrapped up the event with a praiseworthy victory.

Master driver
Sanjeewa Wickremanayake the undisputed champ driver at the Ridgeways drove a colossal distance to collect an award from Baboo Wickremaratne. Ranjith Thabrew settled closest to the pin and picked an award. Indira Tibblin once again came up at the award ceremony to collect a special award for the best score over the par a holes. Sam Gunaratne won the hidden holes contest and to show his superiority in other areas won an air ticket to London courtesy of Martin Air-KLM for just being downright lucky. Pretty Yoland Aluvihare messed around beautifully and won a Curry Spoon.

The ABG must be congratulated for their organizing skills. The fund raising was quite rewarding and the beneficiary will be the Kularatne Hall of the old School.
