The families of Uptown were treated to a special fireside evening which featured horse riding, a lively karaoke session and some games of Bingo recently.

Jointly hosted by President Anton, Stewart and Murali and their wives Gayani, Natasha and Bhavani the event offered members and their families another opportunity to meet together and share fellowship with one another.

The event was located at the Premadasa Riding School and there were horses available for anyone who wished to enjoy a novel experience. Most of the children grabbed the chance and they were assisted by groomsman Stewart who displayed a hitherto unknown talent - expertly guiding the horses and their young riders around the paddocks.

Special invitees for the occasion were DG Thariq and wife Shianaz whose presence was a great boost to the club. DG Thariq joined enthusiastically in the Karaoke session with a rendition of the old time favorite “Green, green grass of home”.

The entire gathering then participated in the Bingo round and the “Bingo Master” was the President himself who simply refused to part with the microphone all evening. Prospective member, David was the lucky winner of the competition.
