The glittering Change over Banquet in the City of the Nizams was held on the 12th July 2008 where the Tablers and Circlers had a memorable time. Each one of us who participated reveled and rejoiced in the COB ROCKED ...AND ROCKED BIG TIME !! Area 2 took the COB by storm with 47 heads participating in this grand event. The COB was hosted by SMART 118 & SMLC 49 of Secunderabad which saw the change of guards of Round Table India and the Ladies Circle India.
The first day’s business session which was the last NEX meeting of 2007-2008 commenced around 11 A.M on Saturday, 12th July 2008 and ended at around 4 P.M. The President and the Head table acknowledged and praised the efforts of Tr Rajesh Gupta Area Chairman and lauded the perfomance of Area 2 in all facets of Tabling. Tr Punit was the Sergant for the meeting and AHT Sandeep Somani was appointed as the Marshall. NST Tr Himanshu Gupta presented the activities of all Areas for the year gone by. There was a special mention made to Tr Sakthivel Raja’s contribution to projects and Tr Satish Kumar's (MMRT 3) contribution to the renovation of the Conference Hall at the RTI Secretariat. The Tablers and Circlers were soon back, dressed in the wine red shirts, lounge suits for the formal Presidents Banquet at the Convention Center of the Mariott. This was truly a grand affair with superb settings and ambience.
The President of Round Table, Tr. Ajay Handa and the President of Ladies Circle, Cr. Mona Sanghavi were brought inside the venue amidst pomp and gaiety. After a very touching and thought provoking speech by Tr Ajay Handa and Cr Mona the formal jewel change took place amidst thunderous applause. The mantle was passed on to the new National President of RTI Tr Pranay Trivedi and to President LCI Cr Uma Raghuram. The all new look minus 13 Kilos Tr Himanshu Gupta took charge as the new National Vice President. Cr Manila Jain took over as the new National Vice President Ladies Circle India.
Tr Pranay went on to invite his team to the diaz. Followed by this he released his theme for the year "We make the difference" with a nice presentation. He released his pin, the honours was done by his parents which was a great and proud moment to watch. The first pin was received by the National Honorary Tabler HT Inder of Area 9. Cr Uma Raghuram released her theme "Circle of Life" after a melodius presentation. Her pin was released by Cr Rama Devi Past President LCI.
Soon after the formal programme, the evening’s programme began with a dazzling dance performance. After that, the stage was taken over by DJ, the dance floor was swarmed by the Tablers, Circlers and Twinklers to dance to the tune of the DJ. The night never seemed to end and the dance floor was occupied till early morning 6 am of 13th July 2008.
Area 2 Tablers had a blast of a time right from the train journey which started off with Shoot the Kitty and 3 cards. The next day lunch was at the famous Paradise Briyani which saw many Tablers and Circlers in small bunches enjoying the delicious Briyani. Evening prior to the COB was again the Cards session at AHT Satish Jupiter’s room where there was a huge bunch of Tablers from Area 2 enjoying the game.
The National fellowship awards were presented to Table 3 Chairman Tr Satish and Table 95 Chairman Tr Punit in the NEX meeting by the National Fellowship Convenor Tr Manmohan Kothari. Tr Sakthivel Raja Area Chairman Elect of Area 2 was called on to the diaz by the new National President to join the team.

The new National Secretariat Convenor (NSC) Tr Prasanna of Table 42 and National Greeting Cards Convenor Tr Senthil of Table 94 & National Honorary Tabler HT Sesha Sai joined the National Board 2008-2009.

Kudos to the RTI COB Convenor Tr Siddarth Karan and LCI COB Convenor Cr Madhavi Rao for a splendid COB.
