Once upon a time, a long long long time ago a group of 250 young(ish) Sikhs gathered in a secret location in the far flung land of Wales. There they slept, ate some roti and then slept some more. In between sleeping and eating roti they also participated in lectures, discussions, keertan, gurbani path, amritvele etc some even managed to brush their teeth.
They climbed wooden walls, braved flying between the trees held up by only a wire, balanced along on a 6 inch high treacherous tightrope, tried to hold a cup of water without spilling any! The challenges these people faced would put the SAS to shame! Some of them even tried water sports, but many seemed to forget that the object was to stay OUT of the water!
So they laughed, and they prayed and meditated and had a jolly good ol' week! But then … it ended …. and realisation struck that they had to go home!! Back to the 'real world' back to their mums and the plastic chapal , back to the weekend jobs in chacha ji's corner shop, back to ironing the clothes and being told you put too much salt in the sabji and getting ready for college and uni (or scrapping through via clearing, but hey main thing is that you got in right!!). Those wonderful days in Wales seeming but a distant memory …. Those wonderful new friends whose names you cant remember but who you meet like long lost cousins and hope you don’t have to introduce to somebody else, the guy who gave you too much parshad, the girl who couldn’t paddle and made you drink lake water! All those memories seem like such a long time ago …
BUT WAIT!! Whats this??
It’s a chance to re-live those memories! A Sikhi Camp Reunion Keertan Darbar!!!
Come down and meet the sangat again that helped make an unforgetable experience for so many of us this summer. Camp has helped so many lives and each of us walked away having learnt so much and having felt true love for Guru Granth Sahib Ji, this will be an occasion to re-live that pyar.
There will be gurbani path, keertan, katha and dhadhi vaaran. There will also be the usual BOSS stall and a slideshow of pictures and videos from this years camp!
Transport has been arranged from Birmingham, Milton Keynes, London, Leicester, North, the numbers for booking a place are given below.
We ask all the campers and students to come to this programme and to celebrate our faith and love for our guru and sikhi together. Bring your friends and your families all are welcome! If they don’t usually come to keertan programmes even better! Bring them so that they can see young sikhs and be inspired like so many of us are by sitting in the sangat of gursikhs!
If you would like to take part in any of the keertan seva at the re-union, please could you reply to this email!!
PS…
If the above isnt enough WATCH OUT for the ALTON TOWERS trip taking place a week after the keertan programme!!! Its £24 each and includes transport and samose!
