On 22nd May 2010 was the "Pestaria dan Hari Terbuka anjuran Jawatakuasa Peguam Perak bersama Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh" held at Polo Ground. Despite, the morning heavy downpour the turnout was great. There were about 14 food stalls; 5 of which were manned by members of the bar. The drink and ice cream stalls were exclusively manned by the social sub committee members. There were 6 corporate bodies which comprises of banks, insurance companies, telecommunication and publication company who had joined us. We were also very privileged as the Insolvency Dept and Rakan Cop had set up their booths there.
We also have colouring contest for the children which were also open to public and we were very proud to discover talents from our very own members' children.
This event was officiated by our Mayor Dato' Hj Roshidi Bin Hj Hashim. In his speech he has expressed his intentions to make this Open Day a yearly event and has agreed to provide a yearly fund of RM5000 in addition to the equipment and services provided to the Perak Bar Committee for such event.
The grand finale was the tug-of-war between the members of the bar and Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh. Although, victory was in the hands of Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh, our members put up a very tough fight (considering the members who participated were half the sizes of their opponents!).I would like to personally thank everyone who has supported and contributed their time, energy and money to make this event a success. Especially to my social sub committee members for their selfless effort in selling the coupons and organizing the booths; to the main committee members whom have also been allotted a certain number of coupons to sell; to all members who attended especially the senior members who stayed on thru rain and shine; to the photographers for those wonderful shots; the junior members and pupils who helped manned the stalls and last but not least to my boss and jr boss for allowing me time outs from work.
