Onam 09

Contgratulations!!

Little out of date - yet better late than never!

You all deserve a big round of applause for making Onam 2009 a wonderful celebration for Bangor Malayalee Association.

I would like to thank our Mayor Councillor Tony Hill, Alderman Brian Wilson, Councillor Anne Wilson, Councillor Dr Stephen Farry besides our friends and colleagues from other community who graced our function.

Most of our members had put in considerable effort in making this event a memorable one and I must thank each and everyone. It was such a selfless effort and I know that I would only embarass them if I start naming them; As such I am shying away from it. Nevertheless it is worth noting that their efforts are well appreciated and I hope to see repeat runs in future.

A word of thanks is also due for the Borough Council, especially the Good Relations Council, who has time and again been our refuge as far as funding is concerned. The guidance and effort of the team led by the Linda is also appreciated.

Asian Flavours, Sanu and other Indian stores did pitch in with monetary sponsorships. Members of our Managing Committee were quick to rise to the occasion to defray the excess cost.

Also lot of thanks to all of our members and their friends, especially for being a well behaved audience.

Thanks again.
