[INDIAN GYMKHANA]
[SPORTS CLUB]
Indian Gymkhana is a combined Cricket, Football and Hockey club which prides itself on
welcoming members of all ages and all walks of life. They are based at Thornbury Avenue in
Middlesex and are currently led by the team of President Professor Dr Nat Puri and Chairman
Kishore Shah.
The club was first established in 1916
and they are passionate about sport
and the positive effect that it can have
on people’s lives. As they approach their
100th anniversary they are among the
largest and longest-standing multiracial
Sports Clubs in the United Kingdom.
The football section of the club put
together a solid campaign last time
around as they compiled a league
record of having won 11, drawn 7
and lost 12 of their 13 matches. This
saw them finish in a safe mid-table
position with 40 points on the board.
Their cricket section is committed to
excellence without any form of prejudice
to race, creed and colour and this is
demonstrated by the fact that the team
currently includes British, Indians,
Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and West
Indians with an equally mixed religious
diversity including Hindus, Sikhs,
Muslims and Christians playing side by
side.
This has provided the club with a
superb platform from which to build
during the off-season in order to
enable to push on up the league
this time around. So long as they
are able to retain their current group
of players and perhaps make one
or two quality additions then they
should be in with a good chance of
putting together a
successful season.
It will certainly be
exciting to see how
they are able to
progress.
The ability to bring people together from
many different backgrounds is one of
the things that has made the club so
successful over the years, enabling
them to achieve tremendous longevity.
In 2004 the club’s superb work was
recognised when they were awarded
charity status to ensure that the clubs
heritage survives well into the future.
There is much to
admire about the
set up that Indian
Gymkhana currently has in place
and this should enable them to
look forwards to a bright and
successful future.
Hopefully they will be able to
continue to provide people with
the chance to take part in sport for
many years to come. Everyone at
Sport in Profile Magazine would
like to take this opportunity to wish
them the best of luck.
