A.I.T.A - Tennis Tournament


Duty beckoned our efforts for the first time in our second year when Kamaluddin Sir announced the GITAM A.I.T.A which was to be held on 11, 12 & 13th July 2004.

It was an event of special importance as GITAM was hosting an All-India Tennis tourney (under 14). In spite of being the second years, we enjoyed the confidence of the faculty.

We were given the responsibility of dealing with the financial transactions and were assigned various jobs after being into various committees.

A committee was placed at the Railway Station which had the responsibility of welcoming the players with placards in hands and directing them to the bus.

The committee concerned with hospitality looked after the lodging and well being of the participants. Accommodation was provided in the hostel itself, with the hostlers adjusting four in a room.

The tournament went on well and closed in a happy note, with we giving it our best.
