Besides the delicacies, it was a fun filled event with friendly yet organised competitive sports, showcasing of entertainment skills such as magic show by one of EMA’s senior members, rendering melodious Manipuri tunes making everyone nostalgic. A group photo with women members wearing traditional dresses summed up the very existence of EMA upholding and preserving the varied tradition and culture of Manipur and providing its members a platform to give them a feeling of ‘Home away from home’. Also a rare opportunity for the children born and brought up here in Europe, teaching as well as reminding them of their rich traditional and cultural roots.

 

The main highlights of the event were the first ever introduction of ‘EMA Cup’ football match organised between members residing in London versus ‘Rest of Europe’. The team comprising of ‘Rest of Europe’ won and lifted the cup .Man of the match was awarded to Franco Mayanglambam.  Apart from fun and cultural activities, an annual convention comprising of discussions on different topics related to socio-economic development of Manipur, promotion of Manipuri culture in Europe ,to  promote EMA through more  mini gatherings  and networking creating more awareness than before about its existence in Europe in general and London in particular are some to mention.
