| KCA, MAUK and SNGM to organise Joint Family Fun Day 2010 |
 |
Three of the leading Malayalee based organisations in East London; Kerala Catholic Association of the UK (KCA), Malayalee Association of the UK (MAUK) and Sree Narayana Guru Mission of the UK (SNGM) are jointly organising another Family Fun Day Event this year, following the successful debut event in 2009.
This year’s event will be on Saturday 17 July 2010 at the Flanders Community Field, Napier Road, East Ham, London E6 2SG at 10.30am.
Last year’s event attracted one of the largest crowds at a Family Fun Day by a Malayalee organisation, with nearly 500 people enjoying the day. The event hosted a number of competitive activities which included both track and field events and many fun activities such as bouncy castle, face painting etc. The Woman's Groups from the 3 organisations were actively involved in a joint fundraising bid and collected £1155 for two worthy causes in the UK and India (Kerala). Newham’s Mayor Sir Robin Wales, addressed the gathering and gave his full support to the efforts made by the 3 organisations in bringing the community together through sport and leisure activities.
KCA, MAUK and SNGM hope to make this year’s event equally exciting and enjoyable for all the community and invite all members, their families and well-wishers to join us and support this year’s Family Fun Day.
