The “South Of The River Seminar” has been very successful.

We would like to thank the team from Gowaryu for organising such a great event. We would also like to thank all the students who attended, without your support events such as these would not happen. The coaches for this event were second to none with well thoughtout themes.

Here are some pictures of the events, the entire gallery is available here.
