Dinner Dance is on the 30th of October, at Cinnamon Grand, from 8pm onwards
Live music with Gypsies
Tickets are being sold at 7,500 each, but for members of sister organisations such as the BCS, the ticket would be available at 6,500. Would be great value for money since they are giving a bottle of Chivas Whiskey, Absolut Voda, and Red Wine to each table of 10.

(Kindly see the broacher for more details)
Thanks and regards,

They highlight giving whiskey, vodka (russian kasippu), and red wine. Even AGMs of the BCS is advertized and highligted saying they give champaign. අපේ එවුන් දන්නෙ නැහැ අවශ්‍ය දේ අරං අනවශ්‍ය දේ බැහැර කරන්න. සුද්ද පස්ස හෝදන්නේ නැති නිසා මුනුත් පස්ස හෝදන්නේ නැති, සුද්ද හැදි ගෑරුප්පුවලින් කන නිසා මුනුත් හැදි ගෑරුප්පුවලින් කන අමන රොත්තක්. I regret for being a member of the BCS with a bunch of sophisticated idiots disguised as professionals. (Anyway I am not a member anymore). මුංගෙ රෙද්දේ ප්‍රොෆෙෂනල්...
