To fuel the fun, a delicious lunch and beverages were available for all attendees, allowing participants to relax, mingle, and recharge between sessions. The event was made even more lively with the addition of DJ music, setting the perfect mood for the day.

The event wrapped up with a prize ceremony to celebrate the winners of various games and the awarding of special tokens of appreciation to the organizing committee, but the true victory of the day was the sense of unity and joy that everyone shared. It was a beautiful reminder of the importance of balancing work with moments of fun and connection.
Overall, the CA Sports Fest organized by the CA Sri Lanka Australia Chapter was a huge success, leaving participants with happy memories and stronger bonds within the community.
