8). Jayantbhai Doshi announced about the proposed North Wales trip. He stated that the initial announcement for the trip was made to find out how many were interested in joining. We received several names, but by the time these were received the Tour company stated that the Hotel capacity was already full and we were thus proposed alternate dates – either from 14/8 to 18/8 ( Paryushan starts on 19/8) or from 4/9 to 8/9. All who have given their names are requested to give their preference for either dates or for both the dates at the Main table. He regretted for this change due to unavoidable circumstances, as this has never happened in the past. Also any more new names will henceforth be kept on waiting list.
