After two months of constant contact meetings with our Mysore biker Rotarian, the date was frozen for the Charter Ceremony of IFMR Mysore Sub Chapter. The new team led by Rtn Subramaniam decided to host the event at Kushalnagar, 90 km away from Mysore in a beautiful back water resort, Coorg Lagoon, owned by a member, Rtn Rajeev. As per schedule and program, 8 members from India Chapter had started from Bangalore early in the morning to reach Mysore on time at 10.30 am for the flag off of entire team by DGN Rtn Ramki of District 3182.
Everyone were present at the Phoenix International Academy, a school project of Rotary Mysore, Bangalore team had reached before time to avoid summer heat. After a small talk by DGN and distribution of Riding vest to all the Mysore riders, we were flagged off at 10.30 am and slowly a group of over 35 riders had taken over the street and highways of Mysore, all sporting our riders vest in yellow colour. Close to 1 pm, all had reached the resort, a fabulous property, on the banks of back water, in the midst of jungle, setting could not have been better.
All were allotted rooms and soon all joined for the fantastic lunch at the venue, soon we were surprised to see 8 members from Hassan Sub Chapter led by omnipresent Rtn Mohan joining the event.
