And some did hold a reasonable span ofattention considering their age and their easyvulnerability for distractions. Their task was to coloura football with crayons. The next age-group was asked to water-colour aballoonwallah and the children did dress him and hisparaphernalia in vibrant colours.The older group was given a slightly more complextask of making a greeting card which involvesdesigning the layout, planning the content andexecuting the idea in presentable form.

These events were held at the Chamundi Scout Grounds,Malleswaram, Bangalore. However there was a steep drop inthe response from participants pitched against the over-whelming response for Badminton held on the precedingSunday. There was throw-ball for women, volley-ball for men,volley ball for women on demand and throw ball for enthusiasticchildren on a mini court.For throw ball, there were three teams of six each, where twoplayed the preliminary round and the third snatched anopportunistic ‘bye’. The players of the two teams were:

Throw ball for the under-tenThis was the highlight of the day. Enthusiastic little childrenaccompanying their parents to the venue who were initiallycontent with engaging themselves in their own little play weresoon dismayed at having nothing to do after tiring of their owngames. So a spontaneous idea took shape to make way for alittle throw ball game on a mini court.

There were ten children divided into two teams and here belowis the winning team: Madhav Krishnan, Anup Makaram,Priyanka, Sudarashan.M.K., Keshav Manikernika

Of course pongal for breakfast and ‘Kolambu sadam’ and ‘thairusadam’ for lunch were the two life-saving gifts from the Sabha.Referees were Vasu, Srivas, M.K.Narasimhan, Sudershan andothers who did a just job.And the strong support system behind all the events is definitelyable Mrs.Kuntala, Sri.Dwaraki, Sri.M.K.Narasimhan, Sri.SheshaNarayan, Sri.M.D.Jayasimha,Sri R M Srivas, Smt.Jaya Char,
