Thomian ‘Day Out’

By Susitha R. Fernando

The up and coming members of the Thomian Society of Colombo are all set and ready to capture the warm thrills of reminiscence and be a part of the great fun that will be theirs on Sunday, September 24.

The occasion will be a whole 'Day Out' for members and their families.

The President of the Thomian Society of Colombo, Dr Vijaya Corea, said that it is not always that old Thomians will have the opportunity to meet and greet each other in such a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

The same, he added, could be said concerning their wives and children. On this extraordinary occasion, old Thomians and their families will have a door opened to get to know other Thomians and their families with whom they have not been in touch.

While, on the other hand, they will establish some valuable new friendships.

Furthermore, the next generation, comprising their children, will come to know the offspring of other Thomians who are old boys of S. Thomas' Mount Lavinia, Gurutalawa, Bandarawela and Kollupitiya and begin to share in that wonderful and indomitable Thomian spirit.

Dr Corea made haste to say that bachelors will not be made to feel left out. There will be as much fun and frolic that will add up to a good time for everyone.

All who make the journey, he asserted, to the popular city resort, just 13 kilometers away from Colombo, ( a surprise location)will be going back home with treasured memories of an unforgettable day.
