Dear Member,
Once again it is time to update you on the latest projects and events. This Winter will bring numerous Diwali activities
and the continuation of the health and wellbeing projects to see us into the new year. Have a look through the
newsletter for further details.
We would also like to thank the many volunteers for their time and efforts in raising over £3,000 for the youth club and
building project facilities and thank over 30 volunteers that attended the very productive building project clean up day.

New Building Update
We have now completed the initial sketches of the proposed layout of the new building. The building will be completed in
5 phases, each enhancing the new building and allowing for new services to commence.
We have started the post planning application requirements; these have to be completed before any building work can
start.
We are bringing together a team of professionals to assist with this project; we now have an architect, structural surveyor,
planning consultant, quantity surveyor and M&E consultant. During the next few weeks the final plans will be completed
along with a specification. This specification will be used to allow building contractors to quote for these works.
During the next few weeks we shall start the consultation with the community to get some feedback on the proposed
layout of specific areas. We would like you all to have your input to allow us to deliver a new facility that meets your
requirements.
Amarjit Singh Atwal (Trustee)
This day commemorates the return of the sixth Guru, Sri Guru Hargobind Ji, to the holy city of
Amristar after his release from detention. Guru Hargobind ji was imprisoned by Emperor
Jahangir because he seemed to be afraid of the Guru's growing power. Guru ji had agreed to his
own release on the condition that the other fifty-two detainees would also be released. He was
therefore known as the "Bandi Chorrh". He arrived at Amritsar on the day of Diwali and the
Golden Temple was also lit with hundreds of lamps. Thereafter they came to be known as the
"Bandi Chhor Divas" (the day of freedom). A magnificent Gurdwara has been built in the
Gwalior Fort in memory of the sixth Guru. It is called Gurdwara Bandichhor.

To build on our schools and youth club projects, we will be holding
workshops with young people from different faiths to create art work and
pieces of writing showing the similarities that their religions have to Sikhism
(comparing values, customs, food, clothing etc.). The work will be used to
promote equality and understanding between the faiths and it will be displayed
at Diwali and Inter-Faith Week in November.
