In order to entertain the AAWOs during their stay in Pokhara, various sporting activities were also arranged everyday which gave them ample opportunity to show off their skills as well as to improve their fi tness. The sports afternoon on 14 Jan was dedicated to the Jeffery Cup Football Competition. This was the fi rst year that the Jeffery Cup was competed for by the AAWOs having previously been held exclusively among AWOs.
