BMX group begins formal interaction for World BMX meet in July 2004 at Toronto-Canada. It was 'back to school' for Britto boys who passed out from St.Britto HS in the late 1960s and the 1970s. What more could they have asked for but to have St. Mary's girls to share a class room with them. It would have been an earth-shaking experience had it happened in their school days. At this meeting it was just a hand shake or an ocassional peck on the cheek. The group recalled the school days while looking forward to a grand reunion at the end of July,2004, in Toronto Canada. The idea of BMX, an association of all ex-students of Britto's, Mary's and Xavier's---the BMXers---- was born in a restaurant in Toronto when Lucindo Faria from Morod-Mapusa was talking with ex-Britto boys settled down in Canada. Obviously, quite a few of them are married to Ex-St.Mary's Convent girls and ,often, both of them had studied in St.Xavier's College,Mapusa. So BMX was an unifying factor for Mapshemkars, Saligaokars, Parrikars, Aldonkars, Moidekars, Asnodkars, Revodkars, Siolkars, Anjunkars, Arporkars, Calangutkars and the others, with or without cars! Even students of New Goa High School[Amonkar's],SFX HS[Peddem],Sacred Heart[Parra] and other nearby schools get included through their association with St.Xavier's College,Mapusa, which celebrates it Ruby anniversary this year. A meeting was convened by Lucindo Faria at St.Britto High School on Sunday the 2nd November,2003 at 11.00 hours to discuss the plans for a grand reunion in Canada in July 2004. Ralph [Ralfy] had flown in from Toronto to present the Canadian view of the event.Visa's, travel,local travel,stay and interactions have to be organized. This was discussed thread bare. One of the BMXers present was Ralph de Souza of the deSouza Group, which includes the Trans-Orient travel agency, He has offered to arrange air tickets without charging the agent's commission and getting the best package deals from the airlines. The BMXers in Canada need to help with the Visas for the others, specially the first time visitors to Canada in the post 9/11 scenario. The interaction will continue.
