‘‘This year
we started
operating
under the
revised
constitution...’’
My sincere greetings to SPA (UK) Trustees, Working Committee,
Prathindhis and fellow members.
2014-15…..What an eventful year! I cannot believe how quickly the
year has passed. With the ever increasing SPA (UK) events (ten
events this year), other SPA (UK) branch events, meetings and four
immediate family weddings (including my daughters’) along with
lots of other social events, one can appreciate why this year has
been eventful!
This year we started operating under the revised constitution and I
hope everyone now has a better understanding of the changes that
have been implemented and although it is early days, I hope in time
we will see the benefit.
I summarise below all the events organised by the various
subcommittees throughout the year:
Mahilas
Youths
Golf Tournament
Ranjanaben and Gitaben along with
their team have been busy with
various events, starting with the
exciting and extremely enjoyable
Mahila Samelan in Leicester which
included a variety show, rangoli
and cake decorating competition
amongst the items of entertainment.
This was followed by the family fun
day, providing valuable support to
other SPA (UK) events and working
with Birmingham branch for the
35th Mahila Samelan. They have
now stepped down and I would
like to thank both of them for their
help and support over the last two
years, and hope they will continue
to participate and support SPA
(UK). At the same time I welcome
Pushpaben, Dakshaben, Sardaben
and Praveenaben from Tameside.
Although we constantly hear
of lack of participation by our
young people, this may be true
for some aspects of Samaj Sewa,
however our youth team Nikhilbhai,
Mahendrabhai and Divyenbhai have
been working extremely hard to
find innovative ideas for increasing
youth participation. I am pleased to
report that they have made a small
but significant progress towards this
by increasing the number of teams
playing a particular sport from each
branch at the annual Sports Day.
Has now become an established
annual event attracting both the
young and the not so young of both
genders. Thanks are relayed to
Arvindbhai for assisting the youth
team co-ordinating the tournament.
Sports Day
This year’s Sports Day was hosted
by Tameside branch and big
thanks goes to Punam and all the
Volunteers involved in making the
event a success.
Cricket Tournament
Has been popular as ever and
thanks again to Leicester Branch
for assisting the youth team in coordinating this.
Well done Nikhilbhai, Divyenbhai
and Mahendrabhai for all your hard
work.
Single? Let’s Mingle!
The latest event was held on 18th
April 2015, which fell just outside of
the year however Anilbhai and his
new team had been preparing for
