Another year has passed and we , at Luton branch , have been keeping busy . On the evening of the 9th December 2013 several members of our Samaj went out with Smiley Sam to help raise funds for the Keech Cottage Hospice . It was a pleasant evening , as the weather wasn ’ t too bad and we managed to complete our area within a few hours . |
We ’ d like to send out a big thank you to those who helped on the night ; Anand , Arun , Dineshbhai , Pushpaben , Ushaben and our driver for the night , Bharatbhai , as well as Kirtiben for co-ordinating with the organisers .
This year ’ s SPA children ’ s outing took 10 children aged between 3 – 12 years to see Cinderella at the Luton Library theatre . One child from the group was also picked to sing-a-long with the cast . Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pantomime which was performed by Luton ’ s Griffin players .
For the best part of a year we have been collecting funds to donate to charities ;
|
another one this year has been the Luton Food Bank . As they only accept food as a donation , Ashockbhai , the Branch Treasurer , went and purchased some items they required and then delivered the food to their warehouse . The delivery was made on the 14th March 2014 . |
Another event some of our members took part in again this year was the Race for Life . This time you can hear about the events from one of our younger members :
‘ This year , we had 7 ladies walk the 5K track at Stockwood Park , Luton on Sunday 22nd June . The temperature was soaring , into the mid 20 ’ s , but even the intensity of the heat did not affect us , meaning we finished in a fantastic time of around 58 minutes . All participants enjoyed themselves and a total of £ 480.66 was raised for Cancer Research . Thank you to all who sponsored us ’ - Parisha Mistry
We had yet another successful beach trip to Great Yarmouth on Sunday 20th
|
July 2014 . We sold 42 tickets out of the allocated 53 . The Theobald coach was extremely comfortable and clean , and Bollywood music was provided by Reena Mistry .
The group of people on the coach were very jolly and happy , and there was lots of fun and laughter . It was really nice to see all the lovely ladies sharing the home made food for the journey . We were spoilt by lots of variety and taste .
The day itself was filled with fun and laughter . Relaxing and playing on the 2p machines trying to win all the prizes in the arcade was a highlight . The weather was very kind to us , sunny all day and not a drop of rain . The traditional Seaside food went down very well too . The rain only started on our return journey . We hope to have another great day out by the seaside next year .
It has been a good year so far , and the events we have coming up should keep our momentum going .
