Dear Community Members,
Just less than a fortnight to go for your long awaited Banglar Mela 2019! You have been receiving mails from the BAAWA EC Members, but I felt like giving some updates regarding the day of Mela (14th April 2019).
Please arrive at the venue by 11am and park your vehicles at the designated parking areas. Take care not to park in the reserved parkings which will be marked. There will be food and non-food stalls located on either side of the main pavilion. Seating will be in plenty but feel free to bring your own, such as chairs or picnic mats, as there will be a lot of space.
Areas will be designated for the Art Competition that will be held. Sharif Ahamed will be coordinating the competition. Kids needs to bring in their own art supplies and drawing boards. We will provide the drawing papers only, so please ensure that you have everything you require. There also will be a Dress As You Like Competition, which will be open for kids up to Year Seven (in terms of school level). The parents of those who would like to participate should be in touch with our co-ordinator for this event on the morning of Mela. The name of coordinator will be announced shortly.
Kids Outdoor Amusements will be at the rear, on the greens behind the main pavilion building. A Kite Flying Event will be taking place there so please bring your kites. You can purchase them from Kmart and other stores or make them at home. Please do remember that parents should be taking responsibility of their own kids throughout the day. There are areas which are not fenced so please make sure you are on top of the safety of your kids .
This year, we have eight wonderful volunteers from our very own community who will be on the floor throughout the day and will be there to assist you in case of any need.
As you know all our members and performers have been working very hard to make this Mela a memorable one but without YOU and your whole hearted support, it would not be possible. Thank you for giving us the support to make this possible and we hope that all of us together can bring out the vibrant colours of our beautiful heritage and turn this Mela into a very special one.
Warm regards
M S N Shahid Rajoo

Dear Community Members in WA ,
As BAAWA President Sabbir Bhai has sent you an open invitation for our Major event of the calendar year ‘ Bangladesh Fair 2019 ‘ or ‘ বৈশাখী মেলা ‘ , I’m not going to repeat the same.I felt honoured as the EC asked me to be the Convener ( I felt, it is just a name only ) for the Mela .I believe, it is your Mela and we all can work together to make it a colourful one .As you know , it is a big occasion and without your support, it won’t be possible.In addition to what Sabbir Bhai mentioned , I would like to add few things now and few more , as we get closer to the Big Day ( 14 th April) .The Cultural programme will be our main attraction , as usual.Nonetheless, your colourful and enthusiastic presence will make it an occasion to remember for the years to come.We will have the Children’s Art Competition as before . ( will give updates later) ..There will be various food and non-food stalls on offer .Also , will have few rides for kids .It sounds, all are same as before ?Very sad indeed.But , there is something new will be introduced.KITE FLYING !If you want to return to your nostalgic days , you are most welcome to attend.Please, bring in your own Kites and gears .You will be provided with the open space for fun .There will be enough parking available for free , but , we need to be sensible to avoid parking in the non designated areas .If you want to be a volunteer for the day , please, your EOI will be highly appreciated.We will welcome your innovative ideas for the Mela .Please, communicate with the EC members.For participating in the Cultural Show , please get in touch with our ever popular Cultural Secretary and her Team .Please, circulate this event info to friends in other communities, as this is another way , we can present our Rich Cultural Heritage to others.We felt, it is high time, we should give our Second Generations the real feel of Bangladeshi Culture and they should wholeheartedly get involved with these activities.I hope , I’m not making you tired by reading this message.Once again, BAAWA is yours .Without your support and participation, it will remain nothing, but a name.Like many, I wish , it’s time, we All Bangladeshis in WA come together and show our unity to the rest .Proud of you ALL .Warm regardsM S N Shahid RajooBy the way,If you call me, please leave a message and I will endeavour to return your call soon.

Dear Community Members
The most popular BAAWA event Bangladesh Fair 2019/বাংলার মেলা ২০১৯/বাংলা বর্ষবরণ ১৪২৬ is only few weeks away!
Preparations are in full swing to hold this day-long event at DogsWest venue in Southern River. We believe this new venue would be the game changer and make Mela more sustainable and future-proof. Attached below is the flyer (thanks Amit for producing it) which we request you to circulate to all your contacts, social media accounts to bring as many people and stalls (food/non-food) as possible. There are opportunities to become a sponsor of any of the Mela events (children ride/activities, art competition, sports activities, cultural segment/s, stalls etc.). Pls register your interest to Mela Convenor Dr. Mohammed Shahid (Rajoo) by sending an email (shahid2610@yahoo.co.uk“>shahid2610@yahoo.co.uk) or calling 0402 537 131. You can also contact him to give your ideas/thoughts to make Mela more attractive and enjoyable.
Thanks
Sabbir Hussain
President, BAAWA
