JUNE 1984 COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUES FOR UNVEILING IN YOUR LOCAL GURDWARA

(OR LIBRARY, TOWN HALL,...ETC IF YOU HAVE PERMISSION)

COMMEMORATING 25 YEARS OF THE SIKH HOLOCAUST

The Sikh Federation (UK) used the opportunity of the Annual International Sikh Convention on 14^th September 2008 to set out many of its proposals for the preparations and events to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of June 1984.

One of the proposed projects to raise awareness and be a lasting memory to Sikh Martyrs was the production and distribution of plaques to pay tribute to Sikh Martyrs from Guru Arjan Dev Ji through to the Martyrs of 1984 and over the last 25 years. It was said the plaques were in the process of being designed and would go into production later in the year. The plaques would be provided to Gurdwara's upon request and the plan was they would be officially unveiled in Gurdwara's in the first four to five months of 2009. Important dignitaries, such as the local MP, local MEP, Mayor,...etc would perform the unveiling in the presence of the local media – press, radio and TV. It was suggested that in some towns it may be possible to have the plaques put up in prominent places, e.g. town halls or libraries, where more non-Sikhs will see them.

These plaques will now be ready in the next few days.

The plaques have been carefully designed and worded and will primarily be for Gurdwara's. We now urge you to arrange to get your local MP, MEP, Mayor to unveil the plaque at your Gurdwara (or local library, town hall...etc if you have permission) in the coming few weeks on a date and time that is convenient for your town. Also, make sure the local press and media are present to provide a report for the local community. Please confirm if you need a plaque. The cost is very reasonable at £100, as we wanted a good quality product. This will also help with other associated activities linked to the 25th Anniversary.

Those that have seen the actual plaque think many individuals may also want the plaque to put up at home. We will be getting 10 plaques a week for the next few weeks. They will be supplied on a first come first served basis. If demand increases, we will continue placing orders until demand slows. Please ring Bhai Harjinder Singh on 07845 139136 to confirm your order. We may also need to charge for postage and package if the delivery address is not convenient.

Feel free to circulate this information.
