Committee was re-elected at the AGM in 2017 after willing support , assurances and persuasion from members who clearly felt that Samaj is a family and can bounce high through any difficulties .
This proved to be very fruitful as our coach trip to the Mahila Samelan in Leicester attracted very positive feedback with everyone enjoying the unity they felt whilst travelling in the coach . Furthermore , to see if we could replicate this feeling we also took a coach to the Seniors Samelan in Birmingham . Once again , we received very positive feedback .
It was a delight to see the youth attracting good attendance at a bowling evening which gave them impetus to try something different the next time around .
Our annual programmes commenced with Navratri ; for the second year we provided our own music and did not hire a group . This change was well received by the members . For Diwali celebrations , the food preparation and cooking commenced at 6am . Although food preparation can be quite labour intensive , it is always a joy , full of mischief and mayhem . We are never quite sure whether we have made enough food , or the taste is to everyone ’ s satisfaction . The committee members who organised the food preparation ( and they know who they are ) always keep their fingers crossed ! We have yet to receive any complaints so far .
This year we decided to change track and instead of a cultural event full of activities , we hired a live band . This again was well received with many of the members taking full advantage of the party atmosphere and danced the afternoon away to some old classics of Hindi cinema .
During the past few years Bolton Samaj has been unfortunate to lose some of its prominent members . To a small Samaj this loss is amplified . However , with their contribution in our minds they provide us with support and the spirit to carry on .
Finally , the executive team and the committee would like to thank everyone in Bolton Samaj for their contribution , whether as a volunteer or as a participant , whether big or small , every bit is fully appreciated .
On behalf of SPA ( UK ) Bolton branch , we would to wish all Prajapatis all the very best in the new year .
Jai Shree Krishna Subhash Mistry , SPA Bolton Treasurer
