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 regards
M S N Shahid Rajoo

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
