Participants were blind folded and
given tasters of dishes for them to
identify the ingredients.
During the extended lunch period,
Rangoli and Cake Decorating
competitions were organised by Bolton
and Birmingham Branches respectively
for which winners and runners-up were
presented with trophies after lunch.
The afternoon session began with
Walsall branch presenting a ‘Mr &
Mrs’ game where couples participated
to see how much they knew about
each other. There was also audience
interaction and it was enjoyed by all.
Jitubhai, SPA (UK) President presented
his speech which was followed by
Leicester Branch performing a short
comedy drama based on ‘Doctors &
Patients’ and London Branch kept the
audience captivated with their fusion
of a ‘Garba & Modern Pop’ dance item.
Raffle tickets were drawn and prizes
presented to winners and Ranjanaben
thanked all branches that had
donated food and raffle prizes for their
generosity.
On that note, without the tremendous
support from all of our Branch Mahila
teams, main SPA (UK) office bearers
and Branch members, this Samelan
would not have been possible.
Ranjanaben and I would like to thank
you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Family Fun Day – 29th June 2014
This year our Annual Fun Day was held
at Wicksteed Park, Kettering. Despite
continuous rain 2 days before the
event, luck was on our side and even
though we had rain on and off, we had
a fairly good turnout.
It was good to see familiar and new
faces. Luton branch organised
rounders and again we had the
pleasure of Rugby branch hosting
the bingo session and despite a
few interruptions from the rain we
managed to finish the session. This
was one of those moments when
everyone in our community works
together. Even though we had some
heavy bursts of rain, members used
tarpaulin as a makeshift cover for our
other members to sit under so they
could continue playing bingo.
Dates for your Diary
35th Mahila Samelan
East London Branch raised £106.00
through the sale of tickets for raffle
prizes and the money will go towards
SPA (UK). The Mahila Committee would
like to thank Birmingham, Leicester,
Luton, East London, Rugby, Walsall and
London branches for their continued
support with this event.
Despite our own everyday domestic
hurdles, we have thoroughly enjoyed
getting involved in organising SPA
(UK) events, grown more confident in
ourselves and of course loved sharing
our experiences with other members.
