Pin Type: Commemorative
The pin is to remember the RTSL Pretour launched the year 2013. After much work by Priyanka Disanayaka and myself, the concept was approved by the RTSL Board headed by Prashant Amalean.
The tour was named the Paradise Crawl.
Paradise represents the beauty of Sri Lanka and her people, Crawl represents a well-paced journey through Sri Lanka for five days- short but full of experiences. The Pretour hence has always been special to me as I believe launching a pre-tour would be a great start to get RTSL on the RT International Map. The Tuk Tuk represents a popular mode of transport in Sri Lanka – and we had tuk-tuk races on the pre-tour for fun.The Coconut trees represent Sri Lanka as the tropical Island that it is. The surfboard on top of the Tuk Tuk represents the Surf Camp we always had in Arugam Bay during the Pre Tour. The Wheels represent the hand that carries us- The national rondel and my club rondel- as these two have given me a lot in my journey in life. The driver of the Tuk Tuk is a lady, which symbolises all the ladies who help us steer our journey straight and keep on the right path.
