The event started with a health examination of all in attendance, followed by a lecture on safety delivered by the FRSC Officer, after which the doctor crowned it up by educating everyone on health matters.

Other activities for the day were the presentation of branded reflective jackets to five Okada Riders for their promptness, a lucky dip during which phones and branded reflective jackets were given to the lucky winners and other gift items like stickers and LED keyholders were given to all that attended the event.
