Meetup with the Spree convenor

Us:This time around we are having a lot of pre spree events, could you tell us more about them and what you hope to do through these?
Anmol:
The pre spree we are having now is to give a taste of spree 2010. We plan to have a special event associated with all the major nine sporting events. Here we have six special events. For the pre spree we have futsal, underarm cricket,3 vs 3 volleyball, anti chess, doubles badminton and double tennis. We are planning to have a pre spree marathon. With pre spree we hope to gauge the popularity of the events and give our event mangers an insight into their events. We will come to know where we need to work on. With waves coming this is a nice gap to expose students to give a atmosphere of spree.

Us: Anything special or different being planned for this year’s spree?
Anmol:
We are planning a goa half marathon, a 21 km run outside the marathon. We have associated with the VIBGYOR charitable trust, who organized it last year. This will give Bits Pilani Goa campus recognition at the national level and also Goa publicity at national level as we are planning to make it really big, getting professional runners and celebrities.Spree this year will have something for everyone with special events like a pool tournament,kite flying, kabbadi, kho kho and many other informals for the campus students.

Us:What has the response been like from students for pre spree? How are you working to get active participation?
Anmol:
We are very happy with the turnout so far. The statistics are very encouraging. We had 32 registrations for futsal, 36 for underarm cricket, 54 for doubles badminton,45 for doubles tennis,28 for anti chess , 20 for 3 vs 3 volleyball, which tells us about the immense popularity of the events in pre spree. The pre spree marathon will be held around after t2. we also plan to have a pre spree 2 in January and have events other than those we are having now along with the popular events like futsal, underarm cricket.
This time the grounds are in very good condition so we plan to have other goan colleges to play with our college team as a part of pre spree. This gives us publicity and exposure.

Us: What colleges are you looking at for participation? What are the plans for publicizing spree?

Anmol: We are being sponsored by an sms company through which we are sending messages all over India. Basically the publicity would be through participation from our college in the activities of other colleges. We have ensured that the timing is such that examinations of colleges, Easter doesn’t clash with spree. This would ensure good participation from colleges including those in goa.

Us: What has the participation from girls been like for pre spree?
Anmol:
It’s been good. We have special rules for girls in underarm cricket, there was decent participation. The response in badminton has been excellent. The general atmosphere in the campus for pre spree is very encouraging.
