T his has been a steady year for Preston branch as we have continued with the regular cultural and social activities. In fact a surprise birthday had also been planned. Its credit goes to Kantibhai’s innovative thinking for preparing a container to safely transport the eggless cake which they had prepared in advance, along with daily dry Prasad bags for nine days. Thanks to Kantibhai and Padmaben for also taking care of the seniors throughout the trip. The feedback received from the participants was extremely positive and ‘ All enjoyed to their heart content’ as described by Khushalbhai. Khushalbhai further added ‘All members of the group appreciated our Prajapati Samaj hospitality and said that this was the best holiday ever where they had a wonderful time and looking forward to such holidays organised by our Samaj in the future’. The committee is delighted by such a positive and appreciative comment. It makes us proud to know that Natubhai and Khushalbhai’s initiatives have provided a valuable service and opportunity for the community; locally and nationally. With this in mind we hope to continue to support any future projects. We would like thank all who put in tremendous hard work and took part in this trip. Such activities have helped SPA Preston fulfil its aim to serve the community whilst positively reinforcing the Prajapati profile within the community. The committee is also delighted to learn that a number of our members took part in the 25 mile gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks walk for charity. Depending on their stamina and determination, some completed one peak, two peaks or all three peaks. Nevertheless, SPA Preston acknowledges and congratulates Dineshbhai, Jaishriben, Indiraben, Sumit, Jitendra and young Priyan for taking part and raising money for their chosen charities. We hope to continue to progress in this positive manner in the future. This is only possible with the support and participation of the members. On behalf of SPA (UK) Preston we wish everyone a very Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year. Jai Shree Krishna, SPA (UK) - Preston Branch 57 Following the success of last year’s overseas trip to Bali and Malaysia, one of the main highlights of the year was yet another successful overseas trip organised by Natubhai Tailor and Khushalbhai Kumar in conjunction with Baba Holidays. The itinerary was closer to home this time. It involved a comprehensive tour of Europe visiting six European countries with breath taking landmarks and natural scenery in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. The travellers also enjoyed the daily Arti, bhajans, movies, music, yoga, pranayam, talks on health issues and the jokes. - a comprehensive tour of Europe visiting six European countries
