167th Gavel Meeting

February and March are the most awaited and the most excited months in boys’ school calendars, just because it is the big match season. Boys, old boys, family members and friends all gather in numbers to grounds not only to witness an excited cricket encounter but also most importantly to witness “the big match fun”.  So why don’t we share such wonderful experiences in Gavel? It was the big match meeting at Gavel on 25^th of March 2013 at 5 p.m. in hall 215, Sumanadasa Building.

The President commenced the 3^rd consecutive big match meeting. After the national anthem, the Toastmaster for that special meeting was declared.  Of course the Toastmaster was an enthusiastic member of the club, and was the one and only Anandian in that audience, Vibhanu Arachchige. After the introduction of role players the round robin topic was raised. The topic was “Going to the big with your girl friend/boy friend”. Most of the members of the house suggested that it is not going to work.  After a funny session Table Topic Master was called upon. A big match fan for the sake of the word was invited to take the control and we got to know that he had wonderful experiences in big matches. The person was Sirimevna Jayasundara. He came up with a great set of topics. Boys in the audience were really enthusiastic to put their experiences into words. After a joyful session the control was handed over to the Toastmaster. The gathering was really lucky to witness two brilliant speeches by two experienced speakers in the club, one by Hasini Abeywikrama and another one by Dinesh Kenady. Simply they were amazing.  After having the evaluations of those speeches, another excited meeting came to the end.

The president adjourned the 167^th meeting.
