Gujarat Hindu Society, Preston launched a new historic book based on the history and achievements of the centre on Sunday 29th August 2021. To celebrate this special day, past and present key role holders at the centre were honoured for their services at the centre. President, Secretary, Treasurer and Trustees past and present were honoured as well as present staff members at the centre.
After many obstacles finally the hard work towards producing this important historic souvenir came to fruition when the printed books were delivered at the centre on Thursday 26th August. Dashrathbhai, along with Ishwerbhai and Samit Nayi took the books into the mandir and asked our pujari Bhuminbhai to offer it on each shrine and seek blessings and ask for forgiveness if we have made any mistakes. List of names were put together and shared with the officers. Mr CB Patel, editor of Gujarat Samachar and Asian Voice and Surendrabhai Patel both from London had been invited as chief guests and had confirmed their presence. Alongside we had also invited all the Hindu mandirs affiliated to Hindu council of North and other mandirs we are associated with. An invitation was sent out to all GHS ex-presidents, secretaries, treasurers and trustees to attend who would be honoured for their services during their tenure with the society.
On the day a programme was organised by lighting of the lamp by dignitaries and president followed by a traditional dance performance by Abhinandana Dance Academy.
The GHS Secretary invited past members on stage and a brief of each person was given by the president and vice president. All were presented with a certificate, shawl and a souvenir book. The programme went as per plan and this was already historic moment for all present. A vote of thanks was given by our assistant secretary Chandubhai to all who had made a contribution towards the success of the day.
