LOST

The 2 teams of RCUOP (Neon & Argon)

“LOST” was an event organized by the Rotaract District 3220 Cluster 2 - THE MAVERICKS. The event continued from the 9^th of February until the 10^th of February. It was set to be around Sri Lanka. The contestants were expected to survive with limited resources which was the basic aim of the event. Five teams were registered for the event, each including 8 members (5 males & 3 females). There were two teams from the RCUOP. They were the team Neon & Argon. The other teams were Helium, Krypton, & Carbon. All the teams gathered at the Independence Square at 7 p.m on the 8^th of February. Then they were accompanied to the gymnasium of the UOC by the organizers. After a short break, a briefing was given. The participants had to hand over their wallets and mobile phones to the organizers. Each team was given one mobile phone to be used throughout the event. Then, all the teams had to leave for their respective tasks. Hence, the competition began right at the midnight on the 8^th. 

The event was designed as an island wide venture. So, the five teams were diverted to five separate areas. The organizers had left clues and money at some significant places. We had to find the clues and proceed ahead using the guidelines given by the clues. Clues stated the respective tasks and the teams were supposed to fulfill all of them. Eventually, all the teams were guided to the flag post of Gall Face to conclude the event. Then, each team made a presentation on the respective journey. Everyone had enjoyed the event and all of them were grateful to the organizers. The ride gave lots of unique experiences within two days. Later, the marks were calculated and displayed on the FB page. Helium won the 1^st place. Krypton was the 2^nd, Neon was the 3^rd, Argon was the 4^th, and Carbon was the 5^th. The awarding ceremony and the reunion were scheduled by the organizers mentioning the conclusion of the “LOST”.
