The College's 20th anniversary celebrations kicked off with an event held at the Intercon Hotel Gardens. Where a number of dignitaries, current staff, former staff, and 300 Alumni were entertained to an evening celebrating Majan's achievements during the past 20 years. Check out the following Youtube links to get an idea of want took place.
The number of MCAA members currently stands at well over 500, with a high percentage wishing to be involved in organising events and get togethers.
Between now and the end of the year, the College is looking to arrange events for the first six months of next year. So messages will be sent out early in December to MCAA members, asking for ideas for venues and events that they would like to take place. Would anybody like to be involved in a game of paintball?
