e t s o ’ y N r Secr eta We now stand at the threshold of a New Year that bears great promise and expectations. I wish all our members a very happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year and hope that the year forward will be the harbinger of a period of good luck, health and success for you and your family. The month of December had a lot of activity. The stand up comedy by Evam had the audience is splits and entertained the crowd thoroughly. This was the first time that a stand up event was being organized and the response was very encouraging. There was an evening of carols held on Christmas Day that had the band singing traditional songs. The special menu for the occasion tickled the palates of the members and the entertainment made it complete. Much to the joy of the children, Santa Claus came and distributed presents to them. A special bumper Tambola was conducted to wind up the year. Tambola has been doing very well during the last few months and the evening brought in a large, vibrant and cheerful crowd that vied with one another to win the record prizes that were announced.
illuminated. The arrangements were done with a view to give members better ambience and space to sit and enjoy the evening. However, rain played spoilsport and we have had to shift the event indoors. This, however, did not dampen the spirit or the mood of our members who turned out in large numbers. Members enjoyed the music, laser show and enthusiastically danced well into the new year. A special mention must be made about the spectacular menu that was churned out on that day. We must recognize and appreciate the support, enthusiasm and dedication of our staff who willingly, cheerfully and sincerely assisted us to conduct the function. Going forward we have a play by Crazy Mohan for Pongal followed by several events that have been planned and in the pipeline. At the beginning of a new year it’s time to put aside disappointments, differences and difficulties and come together as the Presidency Family that we are known to be. Together, I believe, we can go the distance !!! Viji

New Year's Eve at PC This New Year's Eve, PC brewed a special 'Music Potion' that catered to all tastes. If percussionist and the host for the evening Mr. Muralikrishan had the audience in raptures with his percussion solos and fusion collaborations, the Live Band Medium Rare rocked the members with their brand of rock and pop only for DJ Srikar to take it to another level. The dance floor sizzled! The Laser show was spectacular! All this backed by a great food and gifts galore. Last but certainly not the least a note of thanks to the members and guests who came. YOU made this the party of the year. PC was certainly the place to be this NYE!

Presidency Premiere League
The intra-club Presidency premiere league was held on 21st December, 2014 in the India Pistons (A) ground. The one of a kind tournament saw more than 40 cricket loving presidencians taking part in teams of 3, Super Kings, Warriors and Titans. The matches were played on a round robin basis among the three teams with 10 overs for each team. The first match saw the Super Kings who scored 89 in first innings beat the warriors by 25 runs. The Warriors playing a must win game ran short in the second game as the Titans chased their 64 runs. In the final match which turned out to be the eventual final saw our Chennai name sake Super Kings take on the South African T-20 champion’s namesake Titans. Eventually the

warriors ran amok and won the decider easily over the Super Kings. There was no shortage of cheering during the matches as our own folks led by the ex-MIC Dheeraj Jain provided vociferous support to the players. Usually the tournaments which are played within the club, bring out the best in our very own, Shikar was the most promising youngster of the tournament and Hari was named the “Player of the tournament”. After the tiring morning session under the blazing sun, the afternoon setting was our own Presidency Club. The event concluded with the trophies being presented and players and enthusiasts chilled over cold beer and mouth-watering biriyani in the Ruby Hall.
