Editor’s Report
Dear Members
I happy to report that the style, design and the contents of the last issue of the
News and Events were positively received by the membership.
In this issue, you will notice that all the bodies of LCNL are getting very busy with the religious and
entertainment programs. In the forthcoming months we have our Navratri and Diwali festivals.
Our Navratri festival is from Saturday 5/10/2013 to 13/10/2013 at our regular venue, Brentford
Leisure Centre in Chiswick,TW8 0HJ. As we have two weekends this year, I am sure our members
will take the full benefit.
We have many programs lined up by teams from LCNL, Mahila’s, Senior Men and Senior Ladies. A
lot of hard work goes on behind the scene to make them successful. We are thankful to all
concerned including many volunteers who come forward to assist.
In the next issue, we will feature reports and programs by our newly formed LCNL Youth body. We
are very encouraged by the group of youngsters who have come forward. I am sure they will work
closely with us and encourage other youngsters to join us at our activities .
There were some errors on the Janmashtami leaflet in the last issue, which is corrected in this
publication. Janmashtami is on Wednesday 28th August 2013.
Our Chopda Poojan is on Sunday 3/11/2013 at RCT. I would like to wish everybody a Happy Diwali
and A Prosperous New Year on behalf of our President, Executive Committee and all the bodies of
LCNL.
I am also grateful to our sponsors who support us regularly by the way advertising in the News
and Events magazine.

President’s Message
Jai Jalaram
The year has started very well with all the community activities and we are now
moving forward to deal with the new and exciting challenges.
We organised a program on 7 June 2013 at RCT to honor Shree Sanjaybhai Tanna. Members and
spouses from LCNL, RCT, LCF, Senior Men, Senior Ladies and Mahila attended. Sanjaybhai Tanna is
an elected Independent MP for Tororo district of Uganda. He is one of the 3 Lohana serving MP’s
in the world, the others being Lord Dolar Popat and Shruti Vadera. Sanjaybhai gave us a very
interesting background to his journey to reach the Ugandan Parliament.
All members of the community enjoyed the Katha organised by Dhamecha Parivar. All seven days
had very personal, emotional and religious touch from the Dhamecha family. This family has always
had LCNL closer to their hearts and this was very evident throughout the katha. On the last day, I,
together with my fellow officers had a chance to present a plaque to the Dhamecha family for their
contribution and support to LCNL and many other communities.
We also had an opportunity to welcome Yogeshbhai Lakhani, President of Lohana Community
worldwide (Mahaparishat) on 17th June 2013. Yogeshbhai gave up his legal career to take a
challenge of heading 500 Mahajans with a membership of 2.5 million Lohana’s. LCNL, Mahila and
all the past Presidents of LCNL attended the event. He is a unique Raghuvanshi Leader with
tremendous dedication.
We are thankful to Shree CB Patel of Gujarat samachar for covering both the events in Gujarat
Samachar publication.
LCNL Golf was on 3rd July 2013. We had 89-golf players and 115 members at the Barbecue in the
evening. The Metro Bank sponsored this event. It is an achievement for the community to have
another corporate partner for our second event, the first being, business dinner. Record
contribution was made from current sponsorships as well. This event has now escalated to a new
height.
For the first time in our history, we have LCNL Youth Organisation (LYO) under our LCNL constitution
headed by a new chairperson Reena Popat, who by profession is a Solicitor. The committee consists
of capable post holders and committee members from various professional backgrounds. I believe
this organization has a vital role of bringing our youths closer to the community and my committee
is looking forward to unlocking this huge potential. My sincere thanks to our Vice President, Vinod
Thakrar and Jeet Rughani for making this dream come true.
We have Hanuman Charitra katha 10th & 11 August 2013- Gujrati Natak ‘Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi ‘on
25th Aug 2013, Janmashtami 28th Aug 2013 followed by Navratri and Diwali.
The work at our South Harrow Building is progressing well and the first phase will be completed
soon. On completion, we should be able to chart out the planning for the next phase. We still
need funds and once again I request all the members to join hands in fulfilling this worthwhile
and long awaited project.
Finally, I would like to thank all the members for coming forward and showing your support to all
LCNL programmes and activities

Building & LCF Report
Jai Shree Krishna
Further to our last report basic preparation work has been completed for the steel
framework and cladding work to commence. Proposed colour scheme for the exterior has
been discussed. Once the cladding for the building shell is completed, we will work towards
the second phase.
As reported previously, we require funding for the refurbishing. Our fundraising team will be
active in the next few weeks. I urge to all the members to be generous by donating and joining

Secretary’s Report
You will notice from the various subcommittee reports and the global resume
by our President that the work of the Executive Committed is very strongly
pursued by the members. All the Chairpersons of all the wings of LCNL are doing
a great job for the community On my part I am pleased to report that the
administrative aspect of the LCNL is also in order and that the usual follow-ups
is maintained by our team. As noted in my last report, this year is fairly
important in the history of LCNL as we will be focused on the building project in Harrow and you
will note that this is progressing fairly well and that the first phase operation is in progress. The
photographic version of the outside has also been prepared, we will soon be embarking on these,
and other touches needed to progress the project.
The task of raising further funds has been placed in the capable hands of our young an energetic
member Dinesh shonchhatra. I have no doubt that we will hear from him with a positive input
in due course. Your continued support is important not only into matters any financial help but
also other visions that you may have and which you feel will enhance our ambitions of the
community.
I had also reported the winding up of YLANL. I am pleased to report that this has been positively
actioned by our President Dipakbhai and Vice-president Vinod thakrar after the mandate from
the AGM to bring under LCNL. A number of youth have been chosen who will head a new body.
This new body will be part of LCNL and will be operational on a similar mandate to that of Mahila.
Our Youth organisation will work closely with us and will also organise programs, which will be
attractive for our Lohana Youths. We anticipate that more youngsters will connect with LCNL
through this new body
We are in a process of reviewing our constitution in entirety because of many new developments
in the recent times. We have a new building, a new LCF trust ,a new youth wing and RCT. We need
to take a global view and tune up workings and operational matters for our large organisation
LCNL, in a professional manner.
Our other Religious Events and other fund raising events are continuously being followed by our
conveners and we sincerely thank our sponsors and also supporters who make this happen for
the community and us.
Jai Sri Krishna

LCNL Sports Report
LCNL Golf 3rd July 2013
The annual LNCL golf tournament was held at the Essendon Country Club in
Hatfield on Wednesday 3 July 2013. The event proved to be more successful than
last year with 89 golfers who took part on the day and we were forced to turn away
over 20 late applicants. The whole day proved to be an immense success with all
participants enjoying not only the golf but also the BBQ in the evening.
Can I start by thanking all of the participants without whom there would have
been no golf day and also a thank you to those that attended the BBQ in the
evening. Can I also thank Club 2000 who provided the food for the BBQ in the
evening. Judging by the feedback that we have received, everyone who attended
loved the venue and the food.
Our main sponsor for the event this year was Metro Bank to whom we are very
grateful for their support and for providing various gifts to the participants. Again,
Rameshbhai Radia sponsored the floating trophy, which was awarded to the
winner of the event. Special thanks to Thakrar Family of HT & Co Drinks for their
generous sponsorship for the last 2 years
Again, we were able to acquire a number of sponsors for the event and can I thank
them all for the generosity that they showed in sponsoring our event. The sponsors
for the holes were Tiger Holidays.com, Sterling Accountants, Harold Benjamin,
Santok Group (who sponsored two holes), Harrow Service Centre, Kamsons
Pharmacy, Newland Manor, Maurya, SPEDAG INTERFREIGHT AG, Handsdale
Limited and Westminster Homes.
Lastly, can I say a special thank you to the following team members for helping to
organise the event and also for ensuring that everything ran so smoothly on the
day and without who the event would not have been possible; Mahendra Ganatra,
Ashok Sodha, Vinod Thakrar, Deepak Jatania, Janu Kotecha, Prakash Radia and
Kantibhai Kakad. All of these people played a major role in ensuring that the event
was a success.
We hope next year will prove to be even more successful!

LCNL Lohana Senior Ladies Centre’s Report
Jai Shree Krishna
After a successful event in May, Senior Ladies went to South End On Sea on 13th June 2013.
Though the weather was not favourable, the ladies’ plucked up the courage to join us for picnic.
It was not raining but it was very windy when we reached our destination. It was impossible to sit
in a park to have picnic. However, with the help of our influential committee members like Pratibha
and Naju, we managed to coax the Café Owner to let us sit in his small cafeteria and eat our lunch.
In return we promised him that we will all order coffee after lunch.
My thanks also go to Pratibha and Naju. Everybody sat in a warm cafeteria and enjoyed the lunch
and hot coffee. My thanks go to Maheshwari, Laxmiben, Savitaben, and Geeta Gadhia for helping
on the day.
Lohana member from the town had invited us for tea at his place. Unfortunately, the coach driver
was reluctant to take us there so we had to drop the idea. The ladies had a good time roaming in
the shopping arena but due to the bad weather, we could not walk on the sea shore. In spite of
this, we all had a good time.
On 2nd July, we had arranged to have a Lagna Geet Competition but as no-one showed any
interest to participate it was cancelled. 12 ladies from the public took part in the singing
competition. We had three winners, namely, Prafula, Kusumben Morjaria, and Sarojben Adatia.
Mayaben Panchal entertained us by singing Lagna Geets covering the whole ceremony starting
from the arrival of Jaan till the Vidai of the newly married. In some of the songs, the ladies
participated in singing. Pushpaben Raja provided Ormu on the day and everybody relished the
Idly Sāmbhar snacks.
My sincere thanks to the committee members for their untiring support and hard work at all the
functions. My sincere thanks to Pushpaben Raja for supporting us.
Our forthcoming programmes are Loti Utsav on Thursday, 8th August, 2013. The Manorathi for
Lotiji is £11. Other vaishnavs can come free of charge. Pujya Pad. Go.Shree Priti Betiji
Mahodyashree has kindly agreed to grace the function by her presence. Sunilbhai (Mathuravasi)
from India will sing bhajans and Garbas. Light Farari snacks will be served after the Utsav, followed
by Cookery Demonstration in September, Sharad Poonam Garba in October and Diwali Lunch in
November.
We hope to see you all at these functions.

Convenor- Family Guidance
RCT Chairperson’s Report
I feel extremely proud and privileged to have been given an opportunity to serve the Community
through the medium of RCT as a Trustee and latterly as Chairperson. My term following the AGM
will come to an end this year.
I am extremely thankful to my fellow trustees with whom I have worked for the last 6 years. They
have been of tremendous help, assistance and guidance particularly in the upgrading and
refurbishment of the RCT hall and it ancillary facilities. As a result of this, the hire and other use of
the premises have been expanded and has given us resources to continue with the improvements.
I would also like to thank the LCNL President, Executive Committee and affiliated bodies for their
continual support in all matters and cooperation which has led to the better enjoyment and
understanding of our objectives. With the completion of the Brember House project, I am sure
that both facilities will be used to the maximum benefit of the community at large.
It only remains for me to wish the incoming Chairperson all the best and look forward to the
continual support for the RCT facilities from the community members.
