Members and guests at the presentation
Over 30 members who confirmed their presence for the 30 January event at 6 p.m. at the Galadari Hotel were unable to be present due to the chaotic traffic situation in most areas of Colombo. Much of the traffic was re-directed to other roads causing further delays to motorists due to two protest marches.
