IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL MEMBERS & FRIENDS
SJCS COMMITTEE SUPPORT
'HELP DESK'
Dear Members and guests.
During SJCS Zanzibar Reunion celebrations to be held in Goa from the 27th January until Monday 4th February 2008, I wish to inform you that we have set up a HELP DESK managed by a team of our Committee Members.
The objective of the HELP DESK is to assist members and guests with any problems or queries one may experience during your stay in Goa, especially those visiting Goa for the first time.
We also have a doctor on Call based in Calangute but only covers the local area.
You are free to call him and his visit to your hotel, apartment or friends home will be on his motor cycle. I call him 'THE FLYING DOCTOR'.
Here's One for a laugh, Betty once caught a tummy bug (one time only), our Flying Doctor arrived on his motor bike. A quick examination and Dr Sandesh gave her one jab on one cheek, asked her to turn over and gave a second jab on the other cheek - think he liked her cheeks!!. We laughed at the time but Betty said I Dont care - Dr. cheeky did the trick - she got well right away. His fees was Rs. 400/-.
Dr. Sandesh N. Dharwadker, Physician & Surgeon M.B.B.S.(BOM) is on call from 8.30 am to 1.00 pm & 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm. Sunday closed.
Telephone No: Clinic 2276301, Res. 2275972. and Mobile: 9226295182
During our last holiday, I negotiated he would be the doctor on call but failed to action EMERGENCIES / overnight calls which I will do as soon as I get to Goa.
I also have a few taxi drivers based in and around Palmarinha whom you can call most of the times. Mobile numbers to follow.
# # # # # # # # # # # #
EVENTS - TEAM MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
At all the Scheduled EVENTS, we have set up a team leaders to take care of the entire event(s) from start to finish. The team players will be ready to deal with any problems you may have (hopefully none). The objective of the Trouble Shooting team is mainly to help deal with any problem one may experience and to have it resolved as it arises. Please feel free to contact any of the delegated team members at the function if you have a problem or need assistance in any way.
Prior to the start of any of the functions, you will be advised of the team players names so please please feel free to contact any Commitee team member if you have a problem. The delegated teams will also ensure smooth running of the entire function to ensure everything is in place as planned.
Our main OBJECTIVE is to ensure everyone is happy, having fun and enjoying the occasions. We do not want you to go home and complain later. I promise our teams are set up mainly to deal with any problem whatever it may be and when it occurs and not later. Please DONT feel shy to make your problem known and have it resolved on the spot.
Reserving places on the Coaches for the Excursions or travel to the Venues, you will have to contact Palmarinha Reception desk directly who will take your bookings. It has been arranged that on the day of the Luncheon party after Sunday 27th January THANKSGIVING MASS, and on the Open WELCOME Function on Monday 28th January 2008, you can book your place on the coach for either the excursions or for the Boat Cruise, Dinner Dance and Picnic.

Please note: it gives me great pleasure introducing you to Lea Mathias who lives in Maupsa Goa . Lea has played a very important role in all the planning for our SJCS Goa Reunion 2008. I was fortunate to be introduced to Lea during the BMX Reunion Celebrations last year, Lea in turn introduced us to all the main MD's where all negotiations were done directly.
Until today on a regular daily basis Lea has assisted us and continues to do so as a key player. I take this opportunity of thanking Lea Mathias on behalf of all our SJCS Zanzibar Goa Reunion team. Lea welcomes one and all to Goa and looks forward to saying hi to you. Lea is also a member of the BMX Organising committee.
P.S. If you have a query connected to an event, appreciate if you call at a reasonable time taking note we will be having late nights. Suggest query calls in Goa after 10.00 am.

(Sincerely hope we have no emergencies or any problems).
DONT FORGET:- Visas required for Goa and the necessary jabs plus your malaria tabs!! Dont leavy your travel insurance and passport at home!!
PLEASE DONT DRINK TAP WATER. Cheap to buy bottled water and make sure the bottles have proper unbroken seals. Suggest avoid eating salads or have ice in your drinks. Dont know what water the salads are washed. Take care whilst walking on the roads. Dont recommend walking on busy roads.
Taxi drivers: You may get some taxi drivers driving as though they are on a race track. Insist they drive slowly at all times. You will soon make friends with your local taxi drivers who will look after all your travels at all times. You can negotiate and make sure you get the best rates. If you have a mobile phone, just a phone call to your friendly taxi driver and he will be at your place to pick you up and take you anywhere. Waiting time is very cheap so take advantage. A mobile phone comes useful.
Mobile Phones: If you want to keep in contact with all your friends whilst in Goa, bring your mobile phone and buy yourself a local SIM card for around Rs. 400/- and you can chat like crazy for cheap. To get a local SIM card, you have to take your passport to the local shops who provide the chips and they will register you. They will photo copy your passport as ID for the records which is now necessary to register.

Tuesday 5th February - Black, Red and Gold ball at Mandovi Reviera. A great evening with live bands and good food. We enjoyed it last year.
If we have a group of 31, we can hire a Coach to go to the Venue. Will check for tickets.
Special invite by Carlos Mascaranehas - pre planned and pre booked. Have fun those attending.
LETS GO SOUTH. ONE or TWO NIGHTS - 7th & 8th FEBRUARY 2008
Oliver Fernandes invites us to spend a couple of days down South and as such a wonderful beach hotel LONGUINHOS has been selected. Last year we made a trip to view the hotel and we liked it very much. Hotel approved by Pervin, Mervyn, Oliver, Betty and myself. The deal is also attractive - rooms well priced
Interested folks, please email Oliver Fernandes and myself. If we have 40 and over, we are offered a special deal for the evenings dinner. We can either stay overnight or go by coach for the evening. Some of us are planning to spend two nights. A great extension to our SJCS Goa Reunion. A chance to enjoy the lovely sea breeze and beautiful beaches down South. Please see what is on offer.
Dear Benny - Went to Longuinos and met the people who mattered and have got the rates for you.
Rates from 10th Jan to 31st March as follows
Suite - Rs. 3000/- Single - Rs. 2200/- Double - Rs. 2500/- extra Matress Rs. 500/- plus 8% tax.
Now they have about 6 to 7 rooms and a few more and you have to do booking early.
This is their Email longuinhos@dataone.in
Now you can contact either directly or if you want I can help out where necessary, but very important to book early, so if you know who are sure to be at Longuinhos do book early.
Now I also saw them about the night out we would like to spend at their place and I have got the rates for dinner. Menus and price according to what we order but we have to tell them how many people in order to avail of their special rates
For instance I chose these items
Fish paste on toast, corned beef sandwitches, mixed spring rolls, cocktail assorted vegetables, salad, fried fish with tartar sauce, chicken xacuti, pork sarpotel, vegetable pulao, vpaneer butter masala, gobi manchurin, bread, rotis and sannas, triffle pudding, bebinca.
This will cost Rs 225/-per head. As far as drinks go you will pay as per their price.
They have agreed to allow us to bring our own Whisky bottles I think this is quite fair as they dont allow you normally to bring your own drinks.
Now these rates are based on a minimum of 50 people.
P.S. Longinous have more rooms then 7 but will not commit as they are not sure if I am just seeking information, so if there are more people you can book directly. We can then see how many people are going to stay there and I will see if more people will attend the evening.
Otherwise we can have A la Carte and no problem. Then if we do not want to eat at their place we have a lovely and famous Restaurant in South Goa known as Martins Corner and it is nearby, we can book there with whatever numbers we have, again a la carte.
This is the most famous Restaurant in the South and the prices are reasonable.
Regards Oliver
