Eid Get Together (Virtual)

Message from the President

Bangladesh Association Glasgow (BAG) is holding an online open forum to provide an update on COVID-19 and a Q & A session. 

Bangladesh Association Glasgow (BAG) has elected a new committee for the next two years in their Annual General Meeting held on 13th April 2019. This committee will be steered by the newly elected President Mrs Mridula Nasreen Sarwar and General Secretary Mrs Samiya Haque-Khan with support from a talented and diversified new executive board. 

It seems only yesterday we were taking our oath and suddenly a year has zipped by! looking back, I am astonished to see how far we have travelled together. What has changed about BAG measurably during this time is that the present team has been attentive to ‘what people want’. Our GS and Social Secretary has been instrumental in bringing this culture change. A Lot of our activities have been guided by people’s wishes.

BAG dedicated the 25th February 2017 morning's HLL session to Language Martyrs of 1952

We are delighted to announce an Annual Bursary program for the school children of our community. The main objective of this program is to help our children to achieve greater success in their endeavours and its a way to encourage them to full fill their dreams.

As part of this program, BAG would like to award a monetary sum and certificate to one primary school pupil and one secondary school pupil later in the year.

October began in Glasgow with a fantastically big Harvest full-moon. Fanatics like myself were treated to a sumptuous sequel of a sci-fi classic. In the USA it began and ended with terror, UK got hammered by storm Ophelia, humanitarian crisis of the Rohingya’s continue to cause outrage throughout the world and finally misbehaving celebrities seem to have opened a floodgate of sordid stories and accusations.

As Autumn sets in with falling leaves and blustery winds and rain, last few weeks was the time to take stock and prepare for things to happen in the coming months for community to make the best of short days and long cold nights.

Living in an age/era of narcissism I find it a constant battle to get the ‘me’ out of equation. Bangladesh Flood Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation (BFERR) has given me a golden opportunity to do that. Personally, I used to feel having a BLOG is another way of expressing your innate narcissism. But I’ve changed my view. I think it can be a useful tool for communication. So here I go!

Venue (tentative): President's House

We have been advised that Eid is on 1st September. However, if Eid moves to 2nd Sept, the meeting will be moved to 3rd September but venue will remain the same.

We would really appreciate if you could let us know if you are able to attend the meeting. Please note that there are many important issues to be discussed and your attendance is highly desired. If you cannot attend for any reasons, please make sure that you send your apology.
