Great stuff guys. I was supposed to attend this event with my 2 young boys who are keen on football (even though I am not!), however some guests turned up at the door at the last minute. My boys were quite disappointed that we missed this. Please keep organising more such events and let us know in good time via this website.

Also a big hand to all the volunteers who assisted committee member Imtiaz Gaffar to organise this event - it just proves that if we want results we all need to lend a hand to the new committee, as without community support the committee can not be expected to take things forward on their own.

Thanks

I agree with the previous comment, we all need to get involved, the venue & facilities are there. It's now upto individual & small groups of people to come forward to organise all the different activities that are possible in a community centre, as suggested by various commentators on this blog - WE ARE ONLY LIMITED BY OUR IMAGINATIONS!

On a related note, my suggestion would be that the new committee should not only quickly co-opt the 2 positions that are available, BUT also start the task of creating various sub-committees and involve all ready, willing and people including (but not limited to) the following:

- Members of past committees who have the benefit of experience in this context.
- All that got nominated in the recent election but didn't get the votes to get elected (the fact that they agreed to be nominated is proof enough that they were ready, willing and able to take part!)
- The many people who have so far commented with various suggestions on this site (again the fact that they have taken the trouble to make suggestions should be proof that they are also willing to take part in assisting the new committee).
- And any others who are willing to assist the new committee make a success of the community centre.

So come on guys, let's get ready to suggest some sub-committees and put our names forward to be part of said sub-committees.

Members Poll: Vote for what you want the new Committee to do in the next 2 months!

We have just a added a small poll on the right hand side of the website. Please take part in it, thanks. Since the election of the new commitee on Sunday, we have started having various comments on the website about what needs to be done at the Memon Centre. Thanks to all who have submitted their suggestions so far. Just to be specific, we have shortlisted a choice of 5 random things that the new committee could do in the next 2 months. Please vote for one of them so we can get a feel for what the majority of people want the new committee to do. We will post the results on the site after a week when the poll end, and hopefully the committee will kick-start with the most voted-for suggestions. Of course if you have any other alternative suggestions for the next 2 months, please leave a comment. Thanks Shuaib Website Committee PS: We are also experimenting with the colours on the site, please let us know what you think, thanks.
