News from the Ladies Group
The monthly Ladies Group sessions are continuing at Room no 7, Belgrave Neighborhood Centre.
Ladies group met on 5TH November 2016 for a Diwali Chai Party had 20+ attendance. Ladies agreed to meet at least once a month and recommended various ideas for future activities.
After a quick round of introductions, Shiv Purohit and his nani (Mrs Niruben Purohit) provided live musical entertainment which was very enjoyable.
The purpose of the gathering was to collect views and ideas from members for planning of future events: Day trips, craft activity, health & beauty tips, cooking tips, educational talks, yoga, stress relief techniques, were amongst a few. Creation of a wattsapp group was suggested to keep members in touch. Most agreed that BNC was a central & ideal location for meetings.
For further dates please or if you would like to attend, please contact

JAI TRIKAMJI BAPU!
OCTOBER NEWSLETTER ERROR
Apologies for error in mentioning a Federation event at Hindu Mandir. To clarify, this event was in fact, held in January 2016 and its leaflets with Trikamji Bapu’s photo were left on the Business Network Desk during Navratri for the public (in case they wished to keep the photo image). The leaflets were out of date. No further event has been planned by the Federation for 2017 as yet.Varsha Modha
SATSUNG MANDAL
If anyone is interested in holding a Satsang, please contact Hansaben Rajyaguru or Secretary@bardaionline.com.
We have space available at the Hindu Mandir, St Barnabas road subject to availability.
Business Network News
Samuh Laxmi & Ganesh Pujan held on 30.10.16 at Judgemeadow CC.
This was a huge success. It was recommended by many that took part that this be continued again in 2017 and be available to everyone to attend and participate.
Thank you to Business Network for making a donation which will help fund the cost of hosting the children’s Christmas party this year.
During Navratri we had trouble projecting the business details as proposed due the seating arrangements which meant that the projectors & screens were facing the wrong way at Judgemeadow CC. We sincerely apologise for this. We then ensured that all business banners were displayed daily and leaflets available to everyone to which there was a good response from the public.
What next?
It has been proposed that businesses lend their support to our youngsters aged 14+ who may be looking at careers options. We can offer them careers advice, brief work experience or even a talk on your personal journey, help with formulating a CV. Many University applicants require ‘extra curricular’ activities or work experience to include on their application form.
If you can help, please let me know.
Any business wishing to market their product/service at a future event, please contact Kamal Joshi bn@bardaionline.com for further information.
