Manchester/ UK, 02 Aug 2016: KCA UK organized their annual picnic at Graves Park, Sheffield City, near here on Saturday July 30. This 87-hectares massive park is located 3 miles south of Sheffield.

 

Thirteen families of KCA UK living in and around of Manchester and Warrington gathered together at Fallowfield Manchester on the day of picnic. The picnic began with the journey starting at 08.30am with the prayer. The families reached the picnic spot area at around 10.15am, a second group consisting 9 more families from Sunderland, Birmingham and Sheffield joined the group at the picnic spot.

 

 

Breakfast, prepared by Loyala Moraes Sheffield was served and the weather started favouring the picnic with sunshine, which kept the spirit and the enthusiasm of the picnic ongoing. At this point, the whole of KCA UK had a happy family gathering and placed the marquee in the camping area. This gave a common point to meet.

 

The picnic activities started with the ‘tug-of-war’ for both adult and kids, which brought excitement and entertainment for the families. This was followed by kid’s games and entertainment. Kids thoroughly enjoyed these games and the parents were happy watching their kids.

 

A delicious lunch was served at around 1.30pm. Martin Saldanha organized food while Janet Rodrigues from Nottingham prepared Magalorean-style pork. 

 

The afternoon session was dominated by throw-ball for ladies and well known Mangalorean rural games Dog and the Bone, Lagori.

 

Ronald Lobo and Santhosh Pinto brilliantly conducted the games.

 

 

In the closing hours of the day, the winning team were honoured with prizes. The charming day further continued with the return journey at 5.00pm where everyone continued their singing in the bus, later cracking jokes and conversations.

 

KCA UK had this picnic well planned, with the help Benson Moraes from Sheffield; a visit was made by KCA UK members prior to the schedule picnic, to help the arrangements of the picnic. This proposed study and planning done has created a lot of interest for the group to visit this place.

 

KCA UK remains grateful for everyone who worked hard on the picnic day, it is of course will be remembered as another fantastic ‘Family Day’ for everyone at KCA UK.
