For <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">an important event like silver jubilee, President must have been a member ofthe organisation for <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">long time holding various important positions including that of an executive, and demonstrated <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">his capability by heading leading associations in organising social and sporting events. The <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">elected President had these qualities needed to deliver it, and the choice proved correct. If <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">President has new ideas to raise profile of the event, he needs right persons for the positions, in <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">order to execute them. Selection must be made on merit as criteria, with a mix of veterans of <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">proven performance and novices of potential excellence to the team. This method of appointing <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">chairmen had desired effect judging by the final outcome. If the President expects smooth <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">progression of the process, he should get involved in all aspects of organisation, instead of <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">delegating the work to committee members. This policy of leadership worked well at the end <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">with a coordinated effort in producing an orderly event of high quality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57265 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opening-Ceremony-with-hoisting-of-flags.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"253\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Opening Ceremony with hoisting of flags<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57266 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Hospitality-suite-with-band-stand.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"256\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Hospitality suite with band stand<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">First duty of the President is finding a suitable venue. Prime concern was that previous <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">venue was inadequate to stage a decent tournament, due to the number of teams. After <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">searching for grounds with six pitches or more, five fit to host the event were found, and <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the best Merchant Taylors\u2019 School was chosen. As there was opposition for moving event <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">from the previous venue, it was kept a secret between President and vice-President till it <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">was firmly secured. Also President needs to have negotiation skills to get the best benefit <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to the association, which was amply demonstrated by the fact that ground was obtained <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">virtually at no cost to the association. Deal was made in excellent manner, so that the fee <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">paid for ground hire was offset by benefits of income from liquor stall tender and saving <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">made from getting a hall for hospitality suite free. Venue had eight pitches to play cricket<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and two more for parking over 1000 cars, that would bring in further revenue. Being not <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">only the most picturesque venue than others, but also the location in west London with <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">good access by road and rail, made it the most convenient to the public.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57267 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Ananda-and-Royal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"262\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ananda and Royal<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57269 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/St.-Thomas-and-Thurstan-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"254\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0St. Thomas&#8217; and Thurstan<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next duty of the President is to generate adequate funds to stage the event. This task <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">is made easy if President has high standing in society known to business leaders in UK, as <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">well as has excellent old school ties, in lobbying business conglomerates in Sri Lanka. The <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">elected President fitted into the description, evidenced by funds brought in. This process <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">was set by appointing a seasoned campaigner as chairman, securing sponsorships helped <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">by other executives as early as in December, from Bank of Ceylon and Sri Lankan Airlines <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">who had funded FOC for years. With help of two efficient FOC members and initiative of <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">President, it was possible to garner a silver sponsor, two bronze sponsors and four minor <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">sponsors, totaling \u00a329,000 worth of cash, and commitment from Sri Lankan Airlines. Also <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">with help of chairman of marketing, a person with high level contacts, a further \u00a33000 in <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">cash sponsorship was pledged by Sri Lankan Airlines. With publicity campaign carried out <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">by chairman of media, business concerns in UK belonging to Sri Lankans and others were <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">contacted, which had resulted in participation of large number of them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57270 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/St.-Josephs-and-St.-Peters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"262\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">St. Joseph&#8217;s and St. Peter&#8217;s<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57271 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/St.-Anthonys-Kandy-and-St.-Benedicts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0St. Anthony&#8217;s Kandy and St. Benedict&#8217;s<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There was some issue about compliance of council regulations, which was the main cause <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">for FOC in losing previous venues. President should be versed in council regulations <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">rather than depend on others. Due to this advantage, President was able to prepare risk <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">assessment manual and application package with help of vice-President and Legal officer, <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">venturing in taking full license for the first time. It was thought that dealing with council <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">matters should come under separate section, and new category of Trading was created, <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">breaking it from Fund Raising. Person with ability to enforce health and safety regulations <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">including fire hazard was needed, and quite correctly the most suitable one was chosen. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Council licensing officer was helpful on these matters when sought advice by President. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Insurance and license for catering to public were got from cooking stall holders, checked and <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">submitted to council authority for approval. Meetings were held with council officers and <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">police to implement regulations relating to noise, provision of amenities, traffic control and <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">deployment of security. Due to this, there were no issues raised by council. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57272 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/St.-Aloysius-Galle-and-Wesley.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">St. Aloysius&#8217; Galle and Wesley<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57273 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Nalanda-Dharmasoka-Ambalangoda-and-Mahinda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"257\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Nalanda, Dharmasoka Ambalangoda and Mahinda<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As for the souvenir, most difficult task was procurement of advertisements, leading to <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">making an income of less than \u00a31000 in the past. Souvenir chairman must be able to get <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">advertisements and the ideal one for the post was selected. Souvenir size was increased <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to A4 from previous A5, despite several members opposing that. Hard work was done by <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">President, not only in securing advertisements, but also creating artwork for all pages with <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">help of printer. Silhouette of school colours under messages of OBA Presidents is an original <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">concept of the President. Superb cover design was done by an expert in that field, which <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">when laminated and polished, had made the souvenir very attractive. Since the souvenir <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">was to be of larger size, charges were increased for full page to \u00a3150 from previous \u00a3125 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and for half page to \u00a3100 from previous \u00a375. Adverts collected amounted to over \u00a36000, <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">with President\u2019s contribution being 17 full pages, 06 half pages and both insides of cover. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1000 copies were printed, the highest so far, and all 800 copies put out on the day were <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">snapped up. Profit made was over \u00a32500, surpassing previous publications. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57274 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Nalanda-Dharmasoka-Ambalangoda-and-Mahinda-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"257\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Dharmaraja and Maris Stella Negombo<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57275 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/St.-Sebastians-Moratuwa-and-Trinity.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"255\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0St. Sebastian&#8217;s Moratuwa and Trinity<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Regarding hospitality suite, difficult thing was getting paying guests, thus causing <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">loss making ventures in the past. Concept of hospitality suite is for entertaining special <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">guests and sponsors and not on profit motive was not accepted and the challenge taken. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hospitality chairman must be able to get guests and suitable one for the post was found. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It was decided that number of complimentary tickets be limited to 50, as for every ticket <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">given free, you must sell three tickets to break even. Principle to conform in attracting guests <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">is to make it value for money, thus reducing price of the ticket to \u00a330 from previous \u00a335, <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">passing on benefit from free hall to guests and including free car park in the deal. A dossier <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">describing the venue and menu was compiled, and mailed to several people. This proved <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a success as demand for tickets started coming in, as when in the past it was not possible <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to sell even 100 tickets, over 250 paying guests were present, with President\u2019s contribution <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">being over 50 of them. Unlike in the past, taking to account overheads and sponsorships <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">in the final calculation, highest ever profit of around \u00a32500 had been made.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57276 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Holy-Cross-Kalutara-and-Kingswood-Kandy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Holy Cross Kalutara and Kingswood Kandy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57277 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DS-Senanayake-and-Mahanama-Colombo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"252\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">DS Senanayake and Mahanama Colombo<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite some opposition and scepticism, taking bold decisions in enhancing status <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of event such as moving it to better venue, increasing profile of souvenir and hospitality <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">are examples of leadership skill. Similarly securing venue with benefit to the association <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">in terms of logistics, publishing souvenir with higher quality and profit than before, and <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">demonstrating that hospitality suite can be profitable at the same time entertain guests <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">are examples of organisational skill. Principle to be followed in organising events is that <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">one must aim for quality rather than compromising it for sake of profit. Though expense <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">incurred in this event was far more than any previous ones, fact that this event had been <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of higher quality than any previous ones, justifies this. It must be worth time and money <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">spent in producing it, so that visitors leave satisfied of attending a classic function. Since <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">there had been several compliments expressed that it had been well organised and executed, <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">being one of the best FOCs to be staged, proves this.
