All the children who took part were very enthusiastic about whatever talent they performed. We thank all the parents who encouraged and supported their children to take part in one of our cultural events.
For refreshments there was boondi, gathia and samosas. A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped in the serving and clearing up afterwards including the helpers in the kitchen.
After the refreshments all the members settled down into three teams and Jyotsnaben took charge of playing antakshri. It is amazing how much joy, laughter and a bit of friendly competition a game of antakshri brings.
As always, there is always time for impromptu garba in Northamptonshire. The evening came to an end at 11p.m.
We wish you all a very Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and a Prosperous New Year.
