London, 16 July 2011: With a lot of fanfare and a gathering of SKA’s office bearers, managing committee, members and their guests the website www.skalondon.com was officially launched on a 40 inch monitor screen connected to the internet. Huge thanks to Brolin Rodrigues for lending his expertise. This memorable event took place at the All Saints Parish Centre on Sunday 10th July 2011.

 

Then the program was preceded by the annual Summer Sizzler event with starter snacks brought to each table.  Sheila Pais organized a warm-up bingo game with cash prizes; for ‘Jaldi-5’, 1 line, Full house and ‘Last man standing’. Then followed the variety of dancing to the music by Chico, a past master in disco and vocals. A sumptuous lunch/dinner satisfied every gourmet’s delight, followed by some more dancing and selective prizes for those on the floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 
The official launch of the website was achieved by the cutting of the ribbon by Ron Rodrigues, President of SKA and the champagne flowing freely.  John Mascurenus, the Editor gave a ‘once-over’ on the website and the various navigational menus. The event ended with a variety of dancing.

 

About SKAN (South Kanara Association London)

SKAN operates under the aegis of SKA & SKALONDON.  SKA was founded in 1979 by Felix D’Souza and Raymond Menezes. Since then SKA has grown immensely and over the years has adopted the name of SKA LONDON. In the early years of SKA a newsletter entitled SKAN used to be hand produced by John Mascurenus on a manual typewriter, photocopied and distributed to all members.

 

Then came the SKAN with a cover page as shown, produced in a modern printing environment with a stiff binder and all the niceties of a newsletter and distributed to a growing population of members.  And finally in this 21st century internet being the flavour of the era SKALONDON is now put on the web to enable members and all readers to have immediate access to all the news of the association and also to provide a feedback path to communicate with everyone.
