A big thank you to the sangat , volunteers and staff of Guru Nanak Sikh Schools for attending Parkash 2009. The event was hugely successful with estimated thirty to forty thousand people attending the festival over the three days. Plans are now in motion for next year's programme, Parkash 2010, to which we will work, making it the biggest event outside India.
You too could take an active part in the development of next year's programme.
To do this we need your feedback, which you can provide to us @ parkashenquiries@googlemail.com - your comments would be invaluable and they will be treated in confidence.
The cost of putting this programme together is huge and we have been managing this with support from various members of our communities, businesses, pupils, their parents and carers.
If you want to support Parkash 2010 financially please contact us by email or telephone
on 0044 (0) 208 561 6318 .
We also thank all our jathay and the sewa team of Sant Ranjit Singh Dhadriawale for making this programme a truly memorable experience.
We had a lot of sangat from Hong Kong, Malaysia, Canada, Belgium, Norway, Finland, Germany, United States and other parts of Europe. Our heart felt thanks goes out to them and all those people who attended from all over the United Kingdom.
It has come to our attention that visitors had difficulty securing local hotel rooms since the hotels did not have the capacity to accomodate so many people. We shall be addressing this for Parkash 2010 by creating more overnight living space on site and advertising this widely with a booking system.
So watch this space for Parkash 2010. For more information please enter the site using the link below.
