ALLEYGATOR'S ANNIVERSARY

 When
the whole world was celebrating Mothers Day, The Alleygator,
the biggest family entertainment centre in the twin cities
celebrated its first anniversary on 13 May, 2001 in a
grand style, amidst cheers and joy from its loyal customers.
The publicity given through newspapers and the anniversary
bonanza offers by Mr. Piyush K. Dak, CEO of 'The
Alleygator' attracted crowd in the evening. The well decorated
ribbons and flowers brought a complete festive look to
the place.
 The
celebration started around 5 pm with the distribution
of posters and T-shirts, caps, music CD’s, to lucky guests.
The cake cutting ceremony, which formed the main event
of the evening took place at 7.30 pm and Mrs Parvati
and Mrs Suman Golecha cut the cake as the entire venue
reverberated with the birthday song. Among those who were
present, Mrs. Parvati's birthday was closest to the anniversary
date of The Alleygator. This made her lucky to get the
privilege of cutting the cake along with Mrs Suman Golecha
who visited on behalf of the Navketan Group to ring the
Mothers day. The huge 28 Kg cake, specially designed with
bowling pins to mark the occasion was shared by one and
all.
 After
the cake cutting ceremony, it was time to raffle the special
draw for 'Birthday bonanza' and announcement of its lucky
winners. The Alleygator offered a raffle to the customers
who spent about Rs. 300 on fun games from May 11 to May
13. The guests of honour for the raffle draw were Ms.
Tejdeep, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Mr.
Parasmalji Jain (Partner, Navaketan) and Mrs. Sudha
Golecha. They presented the gifts to the raffle draw
winners, which included 'Return tickets to Singapore',
Nokia Handsets, Magic Sim Cards, Watches, Soft Toys, Wallets,
Table Clocks.
 The
place reverberated with claps once again, when Mr. Piyush

the lucky winners who bagged the Nokia Mobile Handsets
were Mr. Ashish Dalmia, Mr. Nivedita Solanki, Mr. Praveen
Singh, Mr. Milind Ved, Mr. Majid Bhai and Mr. Arshad

"I believe that Mother is the first God for any
one in this world. I am lucky that my dream project, The
Alleygator was inaugurated in the hands of my mother Pushpa
K. Dak on the eve of 'Mothers Day' last year. Thanks to
boundless and enthusiastic cooperation of Hyderabadis
, the first year passed off successfully," said
Piyush.
 According

parties, 47 birthday parties and 17 Dance parties during
the first year. At the same time 1,96,000 visitors enjoyed
the fun of bowling, snookers and video games at The Alleygator.
"Right from the inception, The Alleygator has been
a regular venue for Hyderabadis to conduct various parties
and events. The friendship day, 100 days of The Alleygator
– with 'Mr. Veerappan through the jungle' theme party,
the Diwali Dhamaka, the Christmas Carnival, the New Year
Hungama, the Valentines theme based Disco were few memorable
events that took place in the past one year,"
