New LPS Bolton hosted another successful Silver Sunday event on April 21st at the Ladybridge Community Centre.

It was wonderful to see many of our senior members enjoying an afternoon reconnecting with friends and acquaintances.

The afternoon was filled with fun activities, including a well-being session led by Angie Devi from Bolton Hindu Forum, featuring yoga exercises, followed by two rounds of bingo.

Congratulations to Pushpaben and Rameshbhai winners of the bingo each winning a Ganesha/Ganpati Murthi.

Nashto was generously donated by Kishorbhai, Ashokbhai and Maheshbhai in memory of their late father, Somabhai Amaidas Patel, while soft drinks were provided by Mohanbhai.

Sunday 22nd & Monday 23rd October 2023

The inaugural Bolton Hindu Community Navratri event has proven to be a resounding success, achieving remarkable results within just three months of planning. This achievement clearly underscores the power of collaboration within communities.

As anticipated, the Aatham evening was the most bustling, with a remarkable attendance of between 400-500 people.

On the final night, we were honoured to have the Mayor and Mayoress join us to ceremoniously conclude the festival, even taking part in the Aarti.

The event came to a close with a raffle draw, where our members Sangita Haribhai and Neeta Patel were fortunate enough to win prizes.

Our sincere appreciation goes out to all our guests and volunteers for contributing to the success of this event.
