Bahrain, Jun 3: For Belleans in Bahrain, Friday the 01st of June was a memorable one. People work hard all the weekdays and when weekend comes they plan out their leisure. During this hot season of the year, what more could the members of Bellevision Bahrain ask for, other than an outdoor swimming pool picnic on a weekend? More than 90 people joined the fun filled full day event at Hamala. It was our pleasure to have elderly parents of few of our members, who are on their visit to Bahrain.
Though most of our children had catechism exams, we ensured that they had enough entertainment and games for them in the afternoon session. Adults were kept busy at the pool and on the ground with exciting games like blind folded couple game, treasure hunt, swimming competition, breaking of pot, coconut breaking, throw ball etc. children enjoyed water bottle filling competition, breaking of pot and ball aiming game. Exciting gifts, freebies, biscuits and chocolates were sponsored by the members. The main attraction of the day was Rain Dance arranged by Ivan and his team, which was astonishing and very well enjoyed with Baila dance by young and old alike. It created an atmosphere of a heavy rainy day.
