The situation in Pakistan at this moment requires urgent intervention as floods are creating havoc in the region with number of displaced persons on rise. Under the current situation we have decided to cancel the Eidul Azha event and are looking for suggestions to raise funds. We will just have a BBQ for which the venue will be announced in next issue. At this moment the tentative date is 12 th October. For those members who have requested information regarding Qurbani we have included the relevant organisations on page 3. Currently working on the acquittal of 17th August grant, it is a pleasure to announce that a special event will be held on 15 th
November as part of Seniors Week, which is organized and implemented by seniors in the community in which we expect both Indian and Pakistani friends to participate. If you know of any participant who should be invited please do send us their contact details so a formal invitation can be sent. At this moment we are waiting for the city of Stirling regarding the venue and Mr. Sami Shah to confirm his availability. Finally to all those who are now leaving or are about to leave for Hajj ( muslim pilgrimage to Mecca), best wished from all of us. Remember us in your prayers.
