Dear all,

What a fantastic day we had today at the Festival of Rice and Spice. Those who turned up and took part as true CNS supporters must have had an exciting and rewarding day, where everyone were working hard to do their best for the name of CNS.

Everyone were so impressed with our artefacts, dance, food cooking in firewood and testing and Physiotherapy stand.

I must say you have shown true spirit of CNS and helped the organisers giving full support and dedication in order to achieve their aim fully and truly.

You were all stars of the Festival and I must pay huge amount of gratitude for your unselfish work, dedication and commitment towards CNS and the Festival.

Without your hard work, the tents would not have been up and without your input they would have never come down - it was you the true supporters of CNS who made it happen and I am over the moon and like to take this opportunity thank everyone for their excellent team work.
