ALL WELCOME BUT FREE REGISTRATION REQUIRED &/Or ENCOURAGED FOR ATTENDEES!Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Sikhs of Sussex are thrilled to share some incredible news! Thanks to the tremendous success of our previous events and Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club’s continued commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion, we have once again been humbly offered their facilities to host our Vaisakhi Paath on Sunday, 19th April, followed by Kirtan and Langar.
This is a huge honour, and we cannot wait to come together as a community to celebrate this special occasion.
As before all attendees are encouraged and required to complete and submit Registration Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScW9i3zQt4-5LNQIOIGEUssAbzlOpMZ3QXG91gqncDo8rt0-w/viewform
This is so we can keep everyone safe & secure during their visit to stadium, whilst helping to plan effectively for the numbers attending.
Let’s unite once again in Chardi Kala and make this Vaisakhi truly special!
Volunteers: As always, an event of this scale requires careful planning and dedicated seva. There is NO OBLIGATION but we welcome volunteers to support this upcoming event, and we'd love your help! If you’re available, we could use assistance with preparations, provision & serving of food, activities leading up to and on the day, including conducting Vaisakhi Paath seva, playing tabla, Harmonium or singing Shabad Kirtan. Any help, big or small including donations, would be greatly appreciated.
Please let us know if you're interested in getting involved, and how you can potentially help, by messaging, commenting on event post or in registration form. Your help will be invaluable in making this a memorable and successful celebration.
