Temple Elections (14-Dec-2024)

Dear Devotees

             As we usher in the new year, we are also looking at new ways of improving our services to you and the temple management with regards to distributing the workload. The current committee has been in office for over 9 years and has worked tirelessly towards the betterment of the temple. The Trustees and the committee have decided that it is about time to have fresh elections, but with a different structure so that each member has a defined role.

Please take this message as the formal announcement of the elections as per the schedule mentioned below. We highly encourage you to consider nominating yourself for either of these roles and in a truly democratic fashion, we will endeavour to have a fair and transparent election if more than one candidate applies for a particular post. You can also obtain further information on visiting the temple office, where details on the roles are published.

We encourage all our devotees and the wider Hindu community to come together to support the temple in this endeavour. Please note that in order to vote, one has to be an active member of the temple, hence we would urge you to please become a member or renew your membership as soon as possible.
