Dubai, Nov 20: The long-awaited family outing of the 'Kemmannu Flowers' in the UAE on November 17 was indeed a great success. The day started with a beautiful, cool weather in Mamzar  beach Park, Dubai.

About 85 Kemmannites took part in the outing.  The games for the adults were conducted by Suzi Fernandes and the kids' games by Clarice D'Souza. Robinson Saldanha was the adjudicator for all the games.

The games for the adults included Limbo dance, tug of war, Zig-Zag, Sack races  and the making of Egyptian mummies using the tissue rolls. Many spot prizes were given away to kids and adults.

Two groups that scored the highest were declared winners and runners up. The entire day's events were filled with enthusiasm and there was an atmosphere of enjoyment everywhere.

All Kemmannites participated in games very enthusiastically. Mangalorean food was served by Canara Restaurant.

The fun-filled outing ended with a Tug-of-war between the Kemmannites and a guest team from Moodbidri. They joined from the next spot where the 'Udentichim Naketram' group was holding its own outing. The Kemmannites proved themselves stronger than their competitors.
