“It was
inspiring to see
the turnout and
more inspiring
to meet such a
variety of
different people
who are all
interested in
the Camden Mela
and what it has
to offer.”
The Networking Event organised
by the Camden Bangladesh Mela
Committee focussed on:
Generating awareness of the Mela’s activities and the
benefits it brings to the
society.
Promoting the Mela to the
wider communities.
Raising funds through
sponsorship and other
involvements.
It
was a huge success with a great
turnout. Amongst those present
were the Deputy High
Commissioner of Bangladesh, the
Leader of the Council, the Chief
Executive of the Primary Care
Trust, the founder of the
British Curry Awards & Editor of
the Spice Business Magazine, the
Director of Housing, The Deputy
Director of the British Museum,
the Chair of The Seven Dials
Trust, and representatives from
various businesses such as the
multi billion pound corporation
British Land and Argent Group,
local businesses, vcs
organisations, faith groups,
local partners, funders and many
others.
The Event served as an ideal
opportunity for guests &
delegates to
explore how they can get
involved at all levels, whether
it be Sponsorship, Joining the
Mela Committee, Marketing or
Volunteering.
It was an enjoyable
evening of celebration and
networking
whilst being entertained by key
speakers, a beautiful and lively
dance performance and a
colourful exhibition of arts, pictures
and videos
from the Mela events.
The feedbacks received from
all were excellent. People
were impressed with the
diversity of organisations
involved in the Committee and
the numbers of volunteers
supporting the event, which
shows a universal appeal and
demand for the vibrant annual
event – the Mela.
The committee welcomes every
section of the British society
to get more involved -
regardless of their background -
in the cultural performances,
running stalls, displaying
creative talents, and supporting by
sponsoring various events &
activities.
The Mela
Committee is aiming to hold the
2010 Mela during the month of
July, for two consecutive days,
in London's Regents Park and The
British Museum.
