“For Private Circulation Only” December 2015

TM

Bangalore’s biggest planned city

Dear Members,

The year has gone by quickly and December is already here. The Club will be buzzing with activity this month. Members and their guests can look forward to lots of entertainment and exciting times.

On Sunday 6th December, we begin the Season by hosting over 600 less fortunate children for a day at the Club. The CCOT team ensures the children have a good time on the day and also get to take back some useful goodies. This event is made possible by contributions from our Members and their friends. I request Members to be proactive and contribute in cash or kind and join the CCOT team on the day to witness the joy and happiness we are able to spread.

This is then followed by the Elders’ Evening, 5 Day Christmas Bazaar, Children’s Evening, Carols by Candle Light, Cake & Wine on Christmas Eve , Super Bumper Housie on Christmas Day, our signature Yuletide Ball and then we bring in the New Year. All at our very own Catholic Club! Wow!!!! (The following pages will give you all the details you need)

November 2015 has also been an active month. We had a grand show for Diwali. The rain gods blessed us and ensured over 80 Club members; including a few charming men, many young girls and ladies, along with the little ones, put together a CC Bollywood Awards Night that was appreciated by a very large crowd. We need to thank the sporting members who practiced long hours to give us a glamorous night. The MIC-Entertainment Mr. Naveen Mendonca and his Sub Committee have worked hard to entertain us. A big thanks to all of them.

On the 6th of November, over 12 of our young achievers were presented with certificates and awards in recognition of their excellence in academics.

Housie has bounced back as well and the Rummy knockouts were well attended. The Health Club has regained its earlier glory and so has the Sportico with our Members taking advantage of our Badminton and

Presidents Message Squash facilities. The Club initiated “Romp” – Over 50 runners participated in the first run. The Library has lots of new books. Unfortunately the unprecedented rains have kept the swimmers away, however we hope we’ll see more of them as the weather improves.

The Club is bustling with activity. Whist & Bridge pack the hall on Mondays & Tuesdays. I-browse on the 10th, featured the book “The House that BJ built” by Anuja Chauhan who was gracious enough to be present and interact with our Members, and, “What’s a Good Word” held on the 13th were well attended.

If you haven’t visited us over the last month, I hope I have convinced you not to miss out any longer!

As we go to print, the Club is hosting a Blues Band for some wonderful blues music. A few days later Diageo will host a single malt whiskey tasting evening. All interesting events for our Members!

The Christmas Season will have our Club Staff stretched to capacity. I thank them in advance for the efforts they will put in during this month. Keep them in your minds and in your prayers.

On behalf of the Managing Committee, I take this opportunity to wish you and your families Happy Holidays and hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season.

tunes. A big thank you to our Club Staff and Office for all their support and help. A big shout out to my Sub – Committee and Marjorie Texeira.

Rainy nights are supposed to make you feel blue, but Friday the 20th everybody loved the rainy night, as ‘Chronic Blues Circus’ brought the house down with their unique genre of Blues. We would like to thank our sponsors 100 Pipers [Seagrams] for bringing this event to our Club.

The inaugural edition of the ROMP run had over 40 members between the ages 13 and 67 participating and running a distance of 3 kms and 5 kms on a pleasant Sunday morning. It was very encouraging to witness their enthusiasm and we look forward to welcoming more runners at the next ROMP run that will be held on Sunday 13th December at 6 AM. Many thanks to my Sub-Committee Members Maya, Nasreen, Nelson and Rizwan and Gym instructors Wayne and Suresh for making this happen. Our gratitude to Nissim, Thomas and Ramu for their guidance and assistance. Thank you.

Members may now avail of a free body analysis done on a special machine to ascertain their body composition stats. Those interested may contact Wayne and Suresh in the Gym. The Gym continues to see new Members signing up and making use of the top class equipment and the expertise of our trainers to achieve their fitness goals. Look forward to seeing many more at the Gym.

Motivational Quote: Fitness is more than a PHYSICAL challenge. It’s a MENTAL one!

Tushar FernandesMICMember testimonial - 1

Five years ago I would have never imagined that I would be 4 sizes smaller and wearing the clothes I do now plus feeling as confident as ever.

Health Club

BEFORE BEFOREAFTER AFTER

After trying almost all options at getting fit, I decided to try - what I thought then as - “another option”. Working out was tough no doubt and required a lot of dedication but I can definitely say now with all the confidence “it was worth it and hard work pays off “!

Wayne, the fitness expert at the Club, made working out a lot easier and interactive. His motivation and guidance definitely helped me through the years.

The feel good factor and results are strong motivators to keep me going back and now I cannot imagine my life without my one and a half hour Monday to Friday gym session.

Working out at the Club opened my eyes to the benefits of fitness and eating right. 25 kilograms lighter from when I first started, the gym has not only become a part of my lifestyle but has also shifted from “another option” to the “ONLY OPTION”.

So what are you waiting for…Make no excuses and get fit!

Lisa Ross

Member testimonial - 2

Many years ago as a young boy I would go through fitness magazines and watch people in the gym lifting weights, sculpting their bodies to near perfection and dreamed of one day doing so myself. Being extremely skinny brought out a sense of insecurity and therefore I lacked self confidence.

But all that changed when I decided to join the gym a year and a half ago.

Under the guidance of the fitness expert Wayne and the facilities provided by the Catholic Club, I pushed myself everyday in the gym, accompanied with the right nutrition, I was amazed to see how a body can be transformed with a little effort and determination.

So all I can say after this one and a half year is“Don’t wish for a body……work for it”

As we go to print we would be having the first ever Single Malt tasting at our Club from the stables of DIAGEO. I’ am sure most of the participants would have enjoyed the journey of Scotch whisky and Malts by brand ambassador Jamie Walker of DIAGEO.

Single Malts, Premium Scotch and Vodka are now available at highly discounted prices. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. Check with your Waiter/ Bar Man / Captain for offers of the season.

“Congratulations to all Club Members for their commitment, teamwork and good sporting behavior.

Nazreen Varkey sponsored a nail biting squash tournament this month with some really cool Tshirts. Team “Ammar Fareed” won against Team “John Smith”. We had 24 participants among whom, we had 6 ladies and 6 under 19 players.

We all know that sports is a fantastic way for children to learn important lessons about teamwork, rules, winning, losing and much more. It also keeps them fit, healthy and provides great friendships. The Club has churned out 2 under 19 players, Dhruv Mendens and Abhu Gupta who participated in All India under 19 Squash tournament at Kolkata. Both these kids are steadily climbing the ladder at the all India squash circuit.

We soon hope to see them in the top 10. All credit goes to their coach, John Smith and Mekala Subedar. We hope more and more kids join in and hone their sportsmanship.

By the time you receive this Newsletter, we would have completed Tin and Bottle Badminton & Squash tournament on 27th Nov and 5-a-side Cricket tournament on 29th Nov.

Just a little rain, had all our iBrowse members scurrying for cover and sadly, Anuja Chauhan had a small turnout for her book reading of ‘The House that BJ Built.’ But, the small audience was perfect for Tulip and everyone who attended, were charmed by Anuja’s warmth and hilarious reading of passages out of her book. From the word go, Anuja made herself comfortable in an al-most yogic pose on her chair and we were treated to her flamboyant side, which mimicked everyone from the Thakur girls to the Delhi police, who featured in her novel. In fact, by the end of the evening, people were buying more than one book to give away as gifts to friends.

Like any other author, Anuja delves into her personal life and otherwise, to form her characters. Margaret Alva who is Anuja’s MIL very frankly said -- we all have to mind what we say around Anuja, because we might get quoted in her next book -- to which Anuja assured the audience that she was very clever in mixing up the characters, so that the person often can never be sure it is them and comes to check with her.Our next author is Jenny Mallin coming all the way from London with her book -- ‘ A Grandmother’s Legacy’ which is a memoir of five generations of her family who lived through the British Raj in India. The book shares both anecdotes and Anglo Indian recipes and should be an interesting talk for all lovers of Ban-galore’s history. The date is on the 4th of December to accommodate Jenny and of course we all will get busy closer to Christmas. So block the 4th December at 6pm in the Ballroom. All are welcome!

What’s the Good Word

Once again the kids stole the show with their brilliant clueing, but even they were no match for the eventual winners – who will be conducting next month’s epi-sode.

The Winners: Rosalind Vieyra, Sean Davis, Rebecca Vieyra.

Runners up: Anil, Vibha, Nikhil and Rhea.

3rd Place: Manoj, Indhu, Shashank and Nasreen.

Congratulations to all of you.

The next edition will be held on Friday, 11th Decem-ber from 7:00 pm.

Be there to join in the fun or just as part of the audi-ence.
