Early Start
It was a very sharp 8 am when everyone gathered. We soon got on our way. There were 52 bookings for the 53 seater coach. Very friendly coach driver put us in a good mood.We reached Bournemouth at around 11.30am. Members were given
chocolates in the coach. We showed `Munnabhai MBBS' on the way.

Disaster
It began to rain in a typical English fashion, but did not dampen the sprits for long. It was lovely with a nice sandy beach and plenty of things to see. After a quick lunch, everyone then spread out to explore the area. Some went to visit the Oceanarium, museum, landscaped gardens, ride on the train, walk along the beach and
shopping.

Very Unexpected:
Bournmouth was exceptionally clean and tidy. Whole army of cleaners were swipping the beach area and clearing rubbish. It won the award for best British beach for 2004.

Kids were swimming and building sandcastles, some of us played ball games volleyball etc. We left the place at 6.30pm. Played Antakshari on the way and reached back at MML around 10pm. A collection of £35 was made for Shiva (Sri Lankan guy) the coach driver.

FEEDBACK:
Members were asked for their feedback which were:
* Must do this every year.
* Excellent value for money.
* Enthusiastic Committee members.
* Thoroughly enjoyed.
* Well organised.
Kids were very keen on giving feedback and wanted to go again next year.
