Forth coming events:
The Committee have had fruitful meetings over last few months and decided to start making some small changes as you will see below.

Each year we host a day of prayers and Bhajans to remember, honour and celebrate lives of members our community and/or relations who are sadly no longer with us.

This event is open to all members, family and friends and we sincerely hope to see as many of you as possible. Please note that there will be a havan performed earlier so if you wish to take part, please be punctual.
BMUK General Meeting:
As an interim meeting, there will be just a get together general meeting so we can meet more often and mingle over lunch and as an opportunity to plan ahead for other fresh events. We hope this idea will appeal to those perhaps unable to attend the Diwali /AGM meeting usually held in November for various reasons.
Our next meeting open to all members and family is scheduled for:
Date: Sunday 6th July 2025
Time: 12.30pm to 6:00 with lunch provided.
Venue: Blue Room Banqueting and Sport Venue, 220 Headstone Ln, Harrow HA2 6LY.
Picnic in Park:
A good occasion to be gather and still enjoy the summer. We could play games and have wonder- ful outdoor.
Date: Sunday: 24th August 2025
Venue: To Be Decided, Most likely, Central London.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Navratri:
Our annual Navratri celebrations event will be held as per usual at the same venue as before with live music. We hope all of you will participate in this colourful celebration and if you wish to bring friends that’s fine – the more the merrier!

We will of course be collecting subscriptions at the Diwali meeting for the forth coming year of 2026 and any arrears that may be outstanding.
If you prefer to save time, we are continuing to collect subscriptions online for those who prefer this method. The process for online payment is easy: Go to the BMUK Website (www.bmuk.org) and click on tab that says “Subscriptions”, enter any details requested and pay! This system can also be used for donations and ticketed events as required.
