Dear Sir or Madam
In February 2006 we wrote to all London Hotels informing them about trends of unscrupulous Sikh priests and Sikh Temple Management misguiding Sikh families to conduct Sikh Religious Wedding Rites in Hotels or Banqueting Suites. Sikh Marriages can only be performed in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (Sikh Holy Scriptures revered as the embodiment of God). However it is sacrilegious to bring Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to such premises where alcohol, meat & tobacco are served.
We have received some very positive feed back from organisations like Docklands Excel, Le Meridien, and Blackpool Hilton. These organisations will not allow any Sikh Religious Marriage Ceremony take place within the hotel or banqueting premises.
It has been brought to our attention that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji will be brought to Magna Adventure Centre on 7th May 2006. I am sure that your telephone has been constantly ringing with members of the UK Sikh Community voicing their concerns. We support those concerns and ask you to not allow Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji onto your premises on 7th May 2006 and for the foreseeable future.
Sheffield Sikh Temple, Ellesmere Road North is only 10 minutes away, an ideal environment for the Religious Ceremony to take place and with minimum disruption to the Wedding Reception at Magna. Please support the Sikh Community to stop corrupt individuals profiting from selling Sikh Religious principles and feelings.
Thank You
