Senior citizens have fun

Once a year

 The Senior Citizens’ Forum organised its second annual meeting at Capitol Village near Madikeri on Sunday.

The meeting was chaired by G T Raghavendra.
The senior citizens enthusiastically participated in competitions, including slow race, musical chair, passing the ball and putting the ball into the bucket.

Speaking on the occasion, Raghavendra said that the forum has 486 members. The number of senior citizens getting enrolled to the forum has, however, declined over the last few years, he noticed.
