Newsletter August 2010

Once again another year has come around and the BMX 2010 picnic is over. This was a culmination of many com-mittee hours spent in meetings, organizing and planning to give our alumni the very best for the 2010 picnic.
Our rewards were seen in the many participants who at-tended with finesse, joy and enthusiasm. To the many at-tendees who brought along their own plates and cutlery in support of our green theme we say a big “Thank you“. Our aim is to make this picnic 100% green and your interest and compliance in making this world a better place for our chil-dren is gratifying.
Not withstanding the rain, BMX’ers and guests partici-pated in the sports events, danced to the music of Ralph and his crew, and huddled together to play bingo. Kids and seniors alike giggled and laughed as they enjoyed games geared to their age groups.
Many thanks to our sponsors who were also key in bring-ing this event to you.
