Diwali Grand Mega Tambola - 14-10-2017Every successfulevent starts with justan idea. When ourWaltair Club PresidentMr Phaneendra Babu,Honorary SecretaryMr Vamsi Kishoreand the rest of theManaging Committeefirst mooted the ideaof a Grand MegaDiwali Tambola with

four cars as full house prizes for the first four houses with a snowballprize of a Compass Jeep, not many would have taken them seriously.After a lot of background planning and research , when the first posterwas put up on the Club notice boards with copies of the eventannouncement in Waltair Times, it became the talking point for mostclub members. SMS’swent out to all themembers to block theirtickets to thisexclusive Tambolaextravaganza that waslimited to 1500 tickets.Commensurate withthe quantum of prizesthat were beingoffered, the tickets toowere priced at apremium. Sale oftickets started a fewweeks before andclosed well before the event. With the encouraging support by way ofbookings, the Club management went ahead with getting the nitty grittydetails of the actual program in place. A committee headed by theirrepressible and well respected Capt. G M Peter was formed. He inturn appointed Mr Pydah Krishna Prasad, Mr Ravi Godey and Mr CBala Satish as judges for the event, in case there were any disputes ordifferences of opinion between claimants and the organisers. Capt Peteralso co-opted Mrs Bhanu Iyer, Mr KVV Satyanarayana , Mr HarishIdnani and Mrs Sandhya Godey as fellow announcers for the first fourgames and the additional fifth game in case the snowball was notclaimed in the first four games. “Rules, guidelines and general procedure

to be followed werediscussed in detail.14th Octoberdawned bright andclear contrary to theweather forecast ofovercast skies.Heaving a sigh ofrelief, under thewatchful eye ofCapt Peter, theClub grounds began to fill from as early as 6 pm. Coupons issued at thetime of booking were exchanged for Tambola tickets. The immaculateground arrangement soon looked festive with well dressed ladies andgentlemen. Food service was also done without any confusion orcomplaints. At 7.45 pm, Capt Peter began the evening’s proceedings witha brief welcome speech and there after announced the first number of the

evening. I mustacknowledge theabsolute cooperationof the more than1500 stronggathering whomaintained absolutesilence and an ‘yes’even from the lastrow could be heardon the stage. Thesmall prizes werewon at a steadypace. As soon as‘Half way home, 4

& 5 , 45’ was announced’, a strong ‘yes’ was heard. All numbers on theclaimants ticket were struck off correctly. The first car a Ford Figowas claimed and won by Mrs Meghna Oza (S291). The second housewas called by Mr KVV Satyanarayana. The Honda Grand i10 car againhad a single winner Mr B. Hari Prasad (H073), who very magnanimouslydonated the car back to the Club. Mrs Bhanu Iyer was the announcer forthe third game. Although the Jaldi 7 and lines were won by singleclaimants, the full house and the third car Maruti Suzuki Ignis was wonjointly by Mrs. Kavitha Sharma (R400) and Mrs. M. Ratnamala(K057).The last game before the break was announced by Mr Harish Idnani.

The Lucky Five !!

WALTAIR TIMES

Unfortunately the full house was notclaimed within the stipulated numbersfor the snowball , and hence theCompass Jeep rolled over to theadditional fifth house. The car forthe fourth house was won byMrs. V. Aparna (M199). A breakwas announced during which F & Bservice resumed. This break timewas also used by Past ClubPresidents Sri K. Ramabrahmam,Sri OSR Murthy, Mr Danam andthe President Mr Phaneendra Babuand Hony. Secretary Mr VamsiKishore to give away the symbolickeys to the prize winners of thefour cars. Additional tickets weresold for the fifth house. Membersalso adjourned briefly to the JubileeHall deck where dinner was served.Soon it was time to begin the lasthouse of the Mega Bumper DiwaliTambola. I was entrusted with thepleasant task of calling the numbersfor the snowball house, which waseventually won by Mrs V. Jyothi(G073). Our Club member andHon. Minister Sri Ganta SrinivasRao, was invited to give away theCompass Jeep to the lucky winner.The super successful Mega Tambolaended with a vote of thanks to themembers for their participation inlarge numbers, the supporters of theevent and Capt Peter and his teamfor the impeccable conduct of theevent.
