Kollampics 2005 -- The Olympics between Trivandrum RT66, Kottayam RT79 and Quilon RT85 was hosted by TRT66 on the 29th of May 2005 at the Trivandrum Golf Club. It has been our tradition in 66, that the newest Tabler organises the Kollampics and there is no doubt Ajith Mathew did a very fine job
The visiting participants reached the previous night to attend the social hosted by Ajith and Murali. The evening was fun filled with games (Gayathri taking the lead) and the folks were slowly crawling out by about 2AM.
Predictably, the games the next day started late (towards noon) and the skills and capabilities of the 'sportspersons' were well challenged through the novel games organised and conducted by Nilima. These included the 'Human Tic-Tac-Toe', Obstacle race and Throw ball. In true Olympian style, the game of 'Human Tic Tac Toe' had a casualty in Hema who had a small ligament rupture and will now need to stay of the track for about 3 weeks.
The overall championship was claimed by KRT79. Narayan of RT85 claiming the Best Kollampian title and Mahima of LC48 won the Kollampini title. Outside of the RT66 tablers, the participants included Kunju, Simon & Mahima, Reji & Rani, Nebu, Varkey, Benji, Manoj, Rajiv, Balu, Prakash, Narayan, Kiran, Tony and Manju.
As usual, Kollampics was characterised by the warmth of friendship with all having a great time.
Let's look forward to Kollampics 2006 at Kollam.
