Kampung Batung at Landeh hosted the third annual family game day under Penrissen zone on May 1, 2010. More than 270 people from eight villages under the zone came down to support the activities as participants competing in 23 events. On hand to enjoy the fun with the people were the Rector of St. Ann’s Parish, Friar Gerard Victor OFM, Deacon William Lee, Sr. Antoinette and Mr. Robert Josem, chairman of the parish council.
Earlier, Mr. Paul Noing, the organising chairman, in his welcoming speech thanked the participants, the host village, and members of the various lay organisations for their generous support and cooperation to make the occasion a success. The members of the parish youth ministry and the ladies guild were instrumental in getting all the necessary preparation done accordingly.
Friar Gerard Victor OFM expressed his gratitude to the organisers and the participants for their continuous support to hold the event annually. Together with Deacon William, Friar Gerard sportingly joined in the statue dance event.
Family game day has become a common family-based activity held annually in all the five zones under St Ann’s parish. Other family based activities organised periodically by the community are family outing and picnic, celebrating Mother's and Father's day. Such activities help to strengthen unity of family and community.
