Hi everyone!

Together with other Mauritian bloggers, I am trying to organize a bloggers’ event once again, like we did for this one at Mac Do and here’s the one at Flic en Flac.

Finally, after doing a small poll with some bloggers (Thanks for your participation), we came up with the following :

What ? Bloggers’ event

When ? Saturday, 17th July 2010

Where ? Black River Gorges

Who ? Bloggers + Friends

Why ? To have fun!

And you know what? It’s even more fun when it has been raining, so get yourselves prepared

Come and join us…

Whether you own a blog or regularly visit and comment on blog articles, this is an open invitation to everyone who wants to join us… It will also be a great opportunity to meet the guys and girls, usually hidden behind those wordpress or blogspot urls. Depending on the number of persons, I will be making transport arrangements, either a 15-seat vans or a 30-seats minibus which will drop us at Petrin and wait for us down, on the other side. We might also go to some beach (Tamarin or Flic en Flac) if we have time.

So, now I would like to get the names of all the serious people out there who wanna come with us…
You are kindly requested to either leave a comment or send me an email at yashvin@gmail.com or a facebook message.

Obama ine dir “Yes we can”, MAM p dire “It is the time! noune parE!” Cross fingers!

btw, we do not bite…

Take some popcorn, some drinks…

Here’s the best moments of our bloggers’ event at Flic en Flac today!

Reaching the meeting point

After picking up Ashesh, Phirbhay and Saajid, I reached Flic en Flac at around 1015am together with my sis Dakshinee. Jevin and Morinn were already there. Along with Sundeep, we walked to Spar to buy some “gatos!” while Jevin and Morinn were hiding clues for the treasure hunt (Read below).

After some minutes, the Meetoo family (Avinash, Christina and their 2 lovely kids – Anya and Kyan ) reached Flic en Flac, followed by Stefan and her daughter Elody. Dhaneesha, and Sheran came next during the treasure hunt. Reena and Michel joined us around noon. Tushal showed his face for some mins around noon and joined us again nearly at the end of the day.Vissen and his cousin Kris also came for some mins, while Sun brought 3 of his friends to play some mins of football and Tushal brought another 2 friends in the evening. Kervin and Kevina also came along for a few hours. Lastly, Jean Francois and his friend (?) met us late in the evening too.

That makes 30 people ( including 18 bloggers )!

Of course, some came for a few minutes while most of us were present during the whole ‘bloggers’ event’.

The games

The fun part!

Some of the games played are

1. Uno
2. Frisby
3. “Rempli to bouteille delo”
4. Beach foot
5. Treasure hunt (yeah, finally more details in next section )

The treasure hunt!

One of the best and well organised games ever by Jevin and Morinn. On their arrival, they had hidden clues on the beach and we had to find each of them till the final prize won by Sundeep!

Here are some shots…

Reena and Michel also did a great job but unfortunately, Sundeep found 3 of the 5 clues!

Rempli to bouteille dilo trouée!

This game consisted of filling your team’s bottle with the water you have been carrying from the sea. The nice part is that the bottle to carry water has 3 holes and water is dripping at an incredible speed! Very tiresome and this game made a first victim (Dakshinee) who cut herself with a coral while running to the sea.

Some pictures for the organisation part and the teams in action.

The team which has the most water wins at the end!

Our event banner

The next great thing was the “banner” we made on the spot. Jevin, Morinn and myself had brought paint and a white piece of “la toile”. Reena helped a lot in drawing the letters and all of us participated by printing our hands onto the banner.

We had so fun to do that

Nice idea after all!

Pics of those (probably) not in the above ones

More pics of them can be found on facebook in the coming hours!

Who blogged about this?

At the time of writing, I did not saw any posts coming since I guess most of us are damn tired!

Updated :

• Jevin
• Morinn
• Ashesh
• Saajid

This will be updated as soon as the bloggers write about it!

Here are the different photo albums available on Facebook :

• From me (95 pics)
• From Phirbhay (85 Pics)

Where’s the next?

If you still remember, the first bloggers’ meeting 2009 was held on the 14th March.  Approx 4 months after, we came up with this event at Flic en Flac. We have already shared ideas about the next event and we will let you know in due time.

Keep tuned!

Thanks to everyone who came today!

wow, this post took me 2 and a half hours!

It has been announced yesterday on facebook.

When?

The second bloggers’ event is scheduled for the 11th July 2009 and will be held on the public beach of Flic en Flac.

Why there?

Most of those who responded on the suggestions post(here) and on Morinn’s blog were excited about some event with activities and the beach seemed to be the most convenient place. No Booking, No Costs, No Problems.

Who can come?

Everyone!

This is an opportunity to learn more about us bloggers and at the same time, bloggers can meet their readers!

We encourage you to bring your friends, brothers, sisters, uncle, aunty (chachi, chacha, dadi, and dada)

It would really help us if you confirm your participation on this facebook event. This will allow us to have an estimate of the number of attendees.

How to get there?

We believe that Flic en Flac is easily accessible for most of us. Of course, it will be difficult to please everyone but since the last time we were at Port Louis, we decided to move to the western coast. 15-30mins from Quatres Bornes, about 30-45Mins from Port Louis (by car of course).

We will try to organise transport facilities by picking up some bloggers on our way. We politely ask our blogger friends to let us know if you can help us in this job.

What will we do there?

As most of you suggested, we will have fun games on the beach, probably with prizes. Yes, we are currently looking for sponsors who can offer gifts to the winners and this will be communicated to you later on. Lets talk a bit about the games… Treasure Hunt, Beach Volley, Tug of war, beach soccer among others.

We will keep all of you updated in the different blog posts that will keep coming in the next days.

So friends, book your next saturday (11th July 2009) for the “Bloggers under the sea!”

We can do it again!

Get ready, take off your clothes and put your swimming suits (ok, am joking lol)

My dear friends, bloggers and readers…

Following the success of our first bloggers’ meeting of 2009, a next event is already in its way… On the 14th March 2009, for the first time in Mauritius, 25 bloggers were all under one roof, that of  Mac Donald, Harbour Front, Port Louis. This meeting has been simply great since most of us were only virtual. I am sure that most of those who attended would agree that the “small” get together was enriching while sharing our common passion… blogging. A similar gathering was also done a few years back together and this gave me the opportunity to introduce myself to the few bloggers who existed at that time.

However, this time we want to organize something even better than the last time…

Let’s say

• a bigger place just for us… with no need to look for chairs each time some blogger reached mac do,
• a larger number of bloggers… and building a larger community
• and why not some fun?

We sincerely hope that there will be much more participation. We have a few ideas about the event but we would like to have yours and also your complete support in this event.

Your suggestions are the most welcomed!

Please everyone follow the indications till Morinn’s Blog and make sure you don’t get lost anywhere…

Do tell us :

1. What you expect in the next bloggers’ event ( Topic, Theme, Objectives )
2. Propose us some nice places to hold the above mentioned event and
3. Come up with some ideas to make it more interesting and enriching experience.

PLEASE submit all your ideas to Morinn’s blog…

I really mean everyone, whether you are a blogger or one of our dear readers, without whom life in our blogs would be very boring!
