Let’s honor all our mothers this Mother’ s day!

In the secret corners of my life, I’m reminded of the truths you taught me.

On the battlefield, I remember the shield of faith which you passed to me.

In the race, I gain my second win as I hear the words echoed, “Never give up.”

Life is not easy, but I’m reminded of the times I saw you pushing through.

When difficulties arise, I cannot give in, when I look to you.

As challenges come, and they always do, I hear the words echoed, “I know you can do it.”

On Mother’s Day and every day, I think how you’ve touched my life.

You’ve taught me courage, faith, and strength despite strife.

On this day, to cherish all that you mean, may these words echo forever “I honor you.” – Wendy

Here’s a sneak peak of how our super Moms at Country Club were pampered. *Cakes and Drinks on the house*

Country Club wishes all the mothers a Happy Mother’s day! We love you..

Country Club now has a reciprocal arrangement with Ski and Snow resorts Pvt Ltd. Under this arrangement our members can use 4 additional resorts at Auli, Corbett, Nanital and Bhimtal. This addition gives our members a very good reach in northern India in addition to Shimla and Manali that Country Club and Vacations has to offer.  The rules for accommodation is slight different from ours as there is no differentiation between adult and child so please look into this when making a booking – Studio sleeps 2 and 1 br sleeps 4. An extra exchange fee between Rs.700/- to Rs.1200/- is charged depending on resort and room type. This is in addition to the fee paid to CCIL.  Rooms booking online 30 days in advance will receive an automatic confirmation. Shorter notice will require the member to call RMC/reservations directly CC members- rmc@countryclubmail.com or CV members – reservations@countryvacationsmail.com.

Auli – Cliftop Club.

Nanital – Alpine Club

Corbett – Rangers Club

Bhimtal – Mountain Club

Just like most of you, the Country Club’s team practically grew up reading the Guinness Book of World records. To be featured as a winner is this prestigious book is a dream come true from many of us at the Country Club. The scale at which we needed to work to pull off a record of this size seemed to be a lot of work and the cause – earth hour, was something we truly believed in. This record was conducted by our in-house  event and operations team and it shows our ability to conduct large events across multiple venues in different time zones. The event was conducted in 20 venues across multiple time zones exactly at 21:15 IST.

The coordination for this event required many weeks of planning. We had many full fledged mock drills to ensure the entire show is conducted the way Guinness expects us to do it. All support staff, volunteers, witnesses had to be in place weeks in advance. The photographers and video camera men had to shoot the event in a certain way. All footage had to be uploaded to Guinness hours after the event. Here is a cool video of our first mock drill which was meant  to educate our internal operations team. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4d-SLvpYQ8&feature=youtu.be This would give you an idea on how we conducted the first mock drill. If you ever wanted to set a world record its a must watch

Like all great events we were fully supported by our members who showed up on time (we were so happy to see almost everyone on time, thanks you guys). We sincerly thank each and everyone who took part in this event. Earth hour is a great way to increase awareness of the increasing scarcity of natural resources and our initiative in conserving energy. Conducting large events of this format  educated participates and is a small way in which we can help support this cause.

“ Guinness World Records congratulates you on your achievement. Enclosed is your official Guinness World Records certificate confirming your title. Details of your achievement have been entered into our Records Database as follows:
‘The most candles lit simultaneously across multiple venues is 5,026 and was achieved by Country Club India Ltd (India) across 20 venues in India and Dubai, on 31 March 2012.’

We know what an incredible experience it is to join the Guinness World Records family of record holders………..”

India has 3 visual entertainment alternatives -

1. Bollywood dance routine, which I love. And yes, I am biased towards a certain Khan!

2. Great Indian soap-opera, which I avoid like a plague!

3. Cricket, of which I am a hardcore fanatic and believe Sachin is God and yes, India should win every match it plays!

I admire how T20 Indian Premier League has revolutionized the game with its fiery short 20 over innings which offers blazing batting script, Bollywood and business connections that bring in glamour and glitz, player auctions that unite cricketers from different nation under one team and energetic dance-moves by charming cheerleaders, a perfect blend of cricket and entertainment.

Now, for cricket fans in Mumbai who wish to catch T20 IPL5 masti in bigger size with fellow cricket fanatics, join us at Country Club Andheri and Country Club Kandivili. The club live streams every T20 IPL5 cricket match on BIGGG screens that offers better visibility, clear sound and more masti! Also, club offers special food and beverage menu during every match through entire 45 day IPL5 season.
