Better late than never

Hi friends, as you all know our plan to hold INUDE 15 did not materialize in April.
Recently some of us had a small meet, info of which was mainly circulated through word of mouth. It was much smaller in participants number (6) though 12 confirmed to join. As per that plan there were participants from WB, UP, Assam and Tripura. Unfortunately except Tripura, participants from Assam and UP did not turn up. Thanks to the member from Tripura, this meet had participation from state beyond Bengal.
We had outdoor for 2 days in a beautiful location, amidst jungle.
We felt that in 2015, perhaps we will not be able to prime move any national level meet in next 5 months. So we thought, lets consider this as INUDE 2015, at least from East.
This is just to console ourselves that the continuity did not break.
And I really feel sorry to say, that many members informed their decision of not joining on the last day. Some even did not bother to inform anything. As a result, we, who participated had to bear extra cost which was almost 50% over what we estimated. Though it was difficult for us but we are happy that it gave us a learning as well, which is important for INUDE 16.
I will post some details of the meet, and we hope that collectively we will be able to make INUDE 16, a grand success.

RE: Better late than never

Ever since, INUDE 15 in April got cancelled we all were very upset and kept on planning for some outdoor with friends. Last month, a member of our group threw this idea of having a small meet at a place in north of Bengal. Monsoon is the idea time for travelling in any forest area. So we all agreed. Intentionally we did not put it in TN as we were not confident enough to guarantee people who would come from outside. However, few members got t know it from diff Whatsap group and expressed their desire to be a part of it.
The place is a lovely location, surrounded by hillocks, all parts of Himalyan range...with river flowing through it. It was not a tourist season, so though we went during a weekends, the place was quite virgin.
