Saturday was full of events and the participants can chose what they want according to their choice. Some of the notable items was Paddle Tennis. It’s a combination of both Squash and Tennis and the team of 10 people enjoyed to the maximum.

Then there was superbly organized Bike tour which gave the participants to explore Karlsruhe especially the famous Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the beautiful Schloss nearby. The weather stayed absolutely fine on Saturday with blue skies all around. Some of the highlights of the afternoon session was Fish Spa, Switch Dance which kindled lot of good spirits among the first time dancers. Then came the Gala evening party with members dressed up magnificently and more importantly without the masks. The great music, the amazing dance show, the delicious three course dinner and the awesome drinks made an evening to remember for long time.
