ARFRO Members’ Get-Together

ARFRO members had a rollicking time on 25th March 2023 when the first family get together for the year 2023 was held at the Regimental Officer’s Mess of Sri Lanka Electrical & Mechanical Engineers at Kumaran Ratnam Road, Slave Island. The evening was given an added spot of importance by the presence of the Secretary Defence, the Army Commander and his beautiful lady, and the Navy Commander.

The Evening got off to a splendid start with some spirited dancing by the Sri Lanka Army dancing troupe. Continuing with the Sri Lanka Army band providing good music, the evening was one of continued activity that kept all present in a jolly mood. A splendid game named ‘Whiskey Trail’ kept all guessing and doing frantic searches through ‘GOOGLE’. ARFRO was also privileged to have many prizes contributed by some benevolent sponsors. Many who attended were able to grab a gift that enriched their participation.

Food was provided by the Sri Lanka Army Catering battalion who did a great job in providing some ‘yummy’ food for all present.

Coupled with adequate supplies of the cup that cheers, the evening was enjoyed by all present despite a prevailing very humid atmosphere.
