Diwali Party 2022

A message from your President

The committee and I have been overwhelmed with the messages we have received, both personally and on our Facebook page following the Diwali party. It was good to witness the vibrant colours, the smiling faces of the children and the energy of both the youth and the older members on the dance floor. This party also gave members a chance to catch up with friends and family who they haven’t seen during the pandemic.

We have also received great feedback from our non Hindu guests. One quoted “ great night, thanks for giving us an insight into the Hindu community, you guys like to party”!

This event has inspired me to consider planning for next year. As you all know there will be major changes within the committee at the next AGM. The Samaj needs fresh faces to take it forward and a younger generation to lead. Whether a new committee comes forward or not, there is no reason to NOT organise another party.

It goes without saying that an event of this magnitude requires careful planning in securing the right venue, catering and entertainment. All this needs financial support from the outset.

Therefore, if there is a desire from our members to participate in an event next year, then we would consider this for you. We will send out a similar proposal to that of last year in that, we would request a payment up front, and in the event that we don’t reach the amount to cover a venue within a reasonable timescale, then members would be refunded in full.

For all those that supported us, we have demonstrated that this can be achieved. Please support us and we promise to deliver again next year!

Please continue to share your pictures of our party as widely as possible.
