The walkers raised funds for our 2016 charities , Chelsea ’ s Angels and Glamis Hall . The routes were very scenic , challenging and hard work . Well done to all who took part especially to Vijyaben , Jasuben and Kumuben who are all over 70 years old .
SPA 5th Charity Golf Day
On Saturday 14 May 2016 , Nanubhai , Hiten , Vijay and Satish took part in the SPA Charity Golf Day at Stonebridge Golf Club in Coventry . It was fun filled day with over 50 golfers from numerous branches taking part in 18 holes of golf followed by a trophy presentation and BBQ .
It was a glorious sunny day and excellently organised by Gulabbhai , Gitaben and Divyen and several other members from Coventry branch . The day included breakfast , a refreshment pack to take on the course , lunch , raffle , and prizes for nearest the pin , longest drive as well as the overall winner . Unfortunately , none of the Wellingborough team won any of the golf prizes although Nanubhai did win a raffle prize . It really was a fun day and we ’ ll certainly be back for future years .
Bhuvaneshwari Mataji Katha
This event took place on Sunday 5 June 2016 at the Hindu Community Centre in Wellingborough . It was well attended with around 150 people in total . The event started at 9am and we were pleased with the support of the yajmans and the public who attended . The pooja was conducted by Shree Labshanker Shastri from Gondal Mandir in a very peaceful and holy atmosphere . After the havan , thal and aarti , a discourse was given by Adhyaksh Shree Dr Ravindersanji . This was followed by darshan , pranam and bhojan parsadi for all .
The committee would like to thank all Yajmans , donors , the public for their support and especially the volunteers who were up very early on Sunday morning preparing the food and setting up the hall . All of this made this charity fundraising event a success and the money collected will go to our nominated charities for 2016 .
From all of us in Wellingborough , we wish you all a Happy Diwali and Prosperous New Year
