2nd Unique Mella 2010

Unique club was established in 2058 for the development of local youth of Lamachour Pokhara, Kaski. The founding president was Ritman Gurung. The club was so formed for the development of youth through games i.e. volleyball. So we have started the club with sharing Rs 200 each from all member and bought a volleyball, net and lease a land. We have started it and many people joined to club. We have trained many youths as player and started to participate in different tournament in Kaski district. We made our club sustain through different fund raising program such as Bhailo, Tote etc. The club go on for 3 year and won different tournament in different places of Western Development of Nepal. We have planned to organized 1st Unique Mela in 2060 which was implement sucessfully. We have faced many problem during that day which I still remember. The problem was that Nepal was in Insurgency. I have taken part in singing, dancing, playing, guest as chairman and many other. It was may greatest experience which I have gained in my life. I was too young and just completed my SLC that year. With our club's contribution in volleyball sector Prakash Gurung and me had got the award of National Volleyball Refree license in 2060. I was the youngest National Volleyball Refree in the history of Nepal. During that period we have brought different potential youth volleyball player from villages and gave them to expose in the market of volleyball in Pokhara. For example Ishwor Ghamal was the youth for whom we have given exposure and now he is the national player of Nepal in National volleyball team.
I have handovered the club to new committee in 2061. Then after the club didn't continue his programs and activities. Finally in 2067/2010 the new team with the leadership of Baish Gurung had organized 2nd Unique Mella in the same boundary. They have organized volleyball tournament, Lok Dhohori, Cultural program, Awarded program and many other games. There were altogether 22 team for volleyball. The 2nd day was the day of cultural program with Dhohori and cultural dances. The Mella lasted for 3 days. The last day was volleyball final game and prize distribution. The Mella had awarded SLC passed student. 22 students had awarded in the program. Mr. Krishnamani Baral the photojournalist of Annapurna Post/Himalayan Times had awarded for his great contribution on photo journalism.
Machhapuchhre won the volleyball trophy and 1 runup was Dragon. The chief guest of the program was Manoj Kumar Gurung, chairman of Community Support Group.
I was so happy when I saw the program was sucessfully implemented. I saw the program was totally unique and managable which was lack during our period. The club had started its strategies in a unique way. The most important thing was that the club have started the new works/activities/program for the developement of youths of Lamachour.
