Seven days after 07/07/07

There is Boeing 777 and 7-11 chain of convenience stores. Snow White has the 7 dwarfs, there are 7 Dragon Balls, and James Bond is 007.

So what was this SEVEN all about?

Raleigh KL's July SEVEN Monthly Meet.

We held our first monthly meet since the recent AGM in the classic Rakan Muda Clubhouse. There was a flash presentation on the significance of the number 7 in Raleigh's history. Among others:
The 7 seas that the first ship for Operation Drake (predecessor to Raleigh) travelled in.
The 7 wonders built by Raleigh in Sabah.
The 7 sins on expedition. No points for guessing who fitted in for lust.
The 7th Sabah expedition for Country Director Rory Hall.

We also had fun & games where the winning team got 7 cans of 7-Up from 7-11, a great thirst quencher on a warm evening.
