#WhatTheFun it was on 4th & 5th September 2018 when the Area Secretaries & Treasurers along with National Treasurer & National Secretaries met for a 2 day of complete unlearning, learning & of course unwinding. A few ASTs landed in Chennai a day earlier and enjoyed true Chennai hospitality courtesy AST Tr.Kartic followed by the AST meet at RT India Secretariat where all ASTs got to interact with the Secretariat staff and had the opportunity to meet the National Board Members from Area 2 as well. Post this was a complete feast Enroute to the villa on East Coast Road where all hot the pool and partied all night long thanks to the live band. Tr.Vickaash was in is true “Mic” Tyson mood by singing along and jumping in the pool with the mic while Tr. Angadd tried his luck at breaking the backs of the other ASTs while they tried their Smart Alec move of staying inside water without breathing for 5 minutes. While NT Ashish was a busy man and had to be picked up next morning for the meet, the ASTs got together to discuss on Motions and what each motion meant so they could help the floor to be prepared for a healthy discussion. A lot was discussed on the current issues and future development of the Dashboard, some valuable inputs & the IT Team took back some great feedback and have their task cut out to implement the ideas. Some wild and wacky games awaited the boys and it was complete unwinding again till it was time to say good bye, but with a string attached that the next meet was happening soon. Attendance of 17 (Including NT & NS) out of 18 is the best at an AST Meet - Kudos to the ASTs and their enthusiasm for making this happen.
