Invitation
Dear Friends,
The Annual AMGR organising committee is delighted to announce that our Silver Jubilee event- 25th Reunion will be held on 1st and 2nd of May 2010 at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel, Leicester. Many of our members desired a change from the usual venue, as change is a part of human life. Moreover, Leicester is the historic Asian city, known for its multi cultural fragrance in the heart of the Midlands. It is the first time we will be celebrating in Leicester.
The responsibility of organising this year's event is bestowed upon the SUMUK- Sri Venkateswara Medics, UK. We wouldn't have reached this stage without the contributions of members belonging to each and every college of our common heritage. It is the product of our collective effort and hard work. As a convener of this event, it is my privilege to extend our invitation to you, your family and friends to grace this occasion and share our joy of reunion in an unique style.
Taking on the wisdom and guidance from the senior faculty, we wished
to increase the participation from the junior members of our culture.
We made genuine effort to give responsibilities to many Doctors coming
from our motherland, especially those in the early stages of settling
over here. This year the cultural, academic and social events are planned
to bring in more novelty. We have sought a unique programme that befits
the silver jubilee celebrations of our organisation.
Cultural Events:
1. Telugu tene palukulu: Entry for children/youth up to the age of 18.
We have three prizes in this category. We would like this competition
to be an enjoyable experience for your kids, besides encouraging their
fluency in speaking our mother tongue. So encourage your kids to participate.
2. Talent Show"AMGR's Got Talent!"
Yes, by all means ! Show us what you have got! You can perform any item
you are proficient with. Preferably, reflecting Telugu / Indian culture.
3. Fashion show: We have planned a Fashion show on this occasion. We are
thinking of themes related to India. Aiyappas Sarees, Belgrave road, Leicester
has come forward to sponsor the fashion show. They have agreed to provide
the dresses for women whoever wish to participate. We request the participants
to get in touch with us in advance.
4. Songs and Dances: Please let us know if you wish to participate.
5. Drama: Dr. Vikekananda murthy garu is in the process of creating a
memorable Drama for this special occasion. We are hoping, this will be
an unforgettable performance.
6. Career Networking for Youth: Interested Specialist Registrars and Consultants
will provide guidance at the meeting for the youth if they need any clarification
with their career paths. Dr. Jyothi Nippani, Madical careers adviser and
Dr. Jack Srinivas will be looking after this aspect.
7. Women's Forum
8. Photography and painting and crafts exhibition: I know there are many
members in our organisation with keen interest in photography, painting
and crafts. We will be arranging a photo exhibition besides painting and
crafts show on the first day of the reunion function.

Authentic Telugu Bhojanam in both vegetarian & non-vegetarian formats is being arranged with a touch of Leicester Cuisine, known for its Asian flavour with mouth watering prospects.
As you might have noticed, prices have gone up significantly and the sponsors have gone down in this recession era. We tried our best to keep the delegate fee reasonably in accordance with our significant increase in the expenditure. We will be grateful for your understanding and co-operation. To encourage youth ( aged 17 -21 yrs ) & trainee doctors joining AMGR , we have a special delegate fee when compared to the usual Adult fee . Please also make use of the early bird opportunity for registration which will help us in securing the accommodation as per your requirements. Many of you may like to stay for an extra night, please get in touch with Hotel directly for any extra nights for the specially negotiated prices quoting the reference: AMGR. An early check in time is also being negotiated ( for 12 Noon ) to explore Leicester and the Indian Shops on the famous Belgrave road, as the main venue is in the heart of the city.
So Ladies and Gentlemen, we are hoping to give you a memorable reunion. Please note that places are limited and offered on a first come first served basis. Since it is our Silver jubilee celebration with a variety cultural programme, it is predicted to be over subscribed, as per the early indications. To avoid disappointment please do not delay and send your registration form ASAP before 28/03/2010 and inform us by e-mail as well. We have booked additional accommodation in Premium Inn hotel, which is at a short distance from the main venue, in case rooms get filled up at Ramada Jarvis. In the event, if we are unable to offer you a place for 1st Saturday night-room / dinner, you could be offered a place as a day delegate on Sunday, 2nd May 2010.
