A SpecialGeneral Meeting took place on the 29 th of April 2012 and the approval to purchase was given by 75% of the members present.What do we want to use the Property for?WeeklyMonthlyQuarterlyYearlyAd-hocElderly drop-in centreSatsangsYogaMother & toddlerdrop-InMobile phone classesComputer classesBollywood danceclassesClassical dance classesMusic classesDrama classesAerobicsPilatesZumbaElderly monthly meetsWhist driveBhukharBridgeCommittee meetingsProfessionals'networking eventsWomen's networkingeventsMusic nightsArea AGM'sElderly specialprogrammes e.g.DiwaliChildren's specialprogrammes e.g.Diwali, Halloween,XmasSadrisHealth talksWealth managementtalksDebates &Competitionse.g. Elocution, Chess,ScrabbleVolunteers eventsCivil marriagesSub-committeemeetings*Local Oshwal OfficeCan the Property be used for these purposes?The property was granted D2 use by the Local Authority when it wasgranted permission in 1975 to develop a two storey property with sportsfacilities. D2 use includes any uses for the purposes of Assembly andLeisure. A property can also be used for other uses falling in different useclasses provided that this does not change the main use of the property.This will depend on the frequency and intensity of the use.In addition, there has been historical use of the property as a CommunityCentre. It has been used by the Jewish community as a community centresince the late 1970s and then by the Vishwakarma Association of the U.K.as a Community Centre. This use continues, for example, Sadris, marriages,receptions etc.The property cannot be used for the following purposes without change ofuse from D2 to D1 use:-- An Educational Institution- A Place of Worship or for Religious InstructionCurrent Activities that cannot be re-located at this stage- Re-Active8 (Friday Youth Club ) (Due to capacity)- Paryushan & Savantsari Bhojan (Due to capacity)- FunSkool / North West Academy & Cultural Arts SchoolWhy was the planning permission forChange of Use from D2 to D1 (change of useto worship and community centre) refused in2011?The Council’s objections related to theproposal to use the property as a place ofworship as this would potentially result in anincreased flow of traffic. Insufficient informationwas provided by the Applicants as to howthey proposed to deal with this increasedtraffic.The property can be used as a CommunityCentre and continues to be used as such. TheCouncil also recognises officially that it is aCommunity Centre as can be seen from theirwebsite and also from the planningdocumentation where the Council itself refersto it as a Community Centre.The Council has also indicated that theywould prefer to see the place run as aCommunity Centre.

Do we have sufficient activities to justify us purchasing a property?The lack of owning our own property in the local area has not prevented theAssociation from delivering events for its’ members. A short synopsis of the eventsalready delivered by the North West Area, which are appropriate for a venue of thissize, and a forecast of future events is as follows:400350300250200150100500No of …2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016YearNo of ActivitiesBreakdownAGMHealth & Welfare TalksEntertainmentWorkshopsWhy can’t we continue to hire venues as and when needed?The lack of owning our own property will not prevent us from holding eventsfor our members. However, having said that, there are benefits to us if weown our own property: -- It provides a central congregating place for the old and young alike;- It engenders the feeling of community spirit;- It avoids the difficulties that we sometimes face when it comes to bookingvenues;Whist DriveBhukharElderly Monthly Meets- It is of adequate size for the majority of our activitiesYogaZumbaElderly Community CentreBusiness and ProfessionalNetworking SessionsWomens Networking Sessions2010 12 1 1 5 1 42011 22 1 4 3 2 122012 80 1 9 8 4 12 11 11 12 122013 312 1 9 10 4 12 12 12 32 32 48 2 2 48 24 32 322014 370 1 9 12 4 12 12 12 32 32 48 2 2 48 32 32 32 24 242015 375 1 12 12 4 12 12 12 32 32 48 2 4 48 32 32 32 24 242016 377 1 12 12 4 12 12 12 32 32 48 4 4 48 32 32 32 24 24Mother and Toddler GroupSatsangsAerobicsBridgeAdult Education - CommunicateWhy not use available funds?Adult Education - LiteracyLike any charitable institution, wemust ensure that we have adequatereserves set aside for not only ongoingand future costs, but also for emergencyprojects and therefore it makescommercial sense to raise as muchcapital as possible for any newventure. Utilising all our reservescould leave our Association in direstraits in future.Will the property undermine the use of Oshwal Centre?The property will pose no threat to the continued use of Oshwal Centre by our members and others for the followingreasons:- The size of the property will mean that large scale functions and events need to and will continue to be conductedat Oshwal Centre.- There is already a demand from members for functions to be held locally as Oshwal Centre is perceived to be toofar to travel, especially on week day evenings. This will avoid the need to hire other venues for the majority ofour functions and will encourage more people to attend the events.

Will the car parking be enough?Quite frankly, the 15 – 20 car parking spaces is never going to be enough for our needs and especially not if we are all lookingfor on-site parking.The simple commercial reality is that there are not many places available that will have all the boxes ticked, for example,car parking, D1 and D2 use, already built and available for immediate occupation, suitable for all our needs, exampleParyushan, Sports and Leisure club etc. And if any properties of this nature come along, they will come at a significantlyhefty premium.It is up to members to decide whether on-site parking is of such paramount importance to us that it means the automaticrejection of this property. Please bear in mind that there is other parking available, both on the road, and off site.What is the primary purpose of the property?The primary purpose for this property is to provide a central hub for our community and to carry out community events. Itis not to generate income through lettings.If this is the case, how will the property fund itself?For the property to be effectively managed so that it does not run ata loss, the day to day operational costs need to be raised. This will bedone through a limited number of lettings (at extremely reasonablecost in order to promote the venue) and the savings made from nothaving to pay hire charges for other venues.£160,000£140,000£120,000£100,000£80,000£60,000£40,000£20,000£0Income+SavingsExpenditureCapital Expenditure(6 mths)20122013 2014 2015 2016SUMMARY2012 2013 2014 2015 2016Income £14,112 £40,280 £47,795 £79,102 £94,102Savings £6,110 £47,010 £51,840 £57,140 £60,940(6 mths) 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016Income+Savings £20,222 £87,290 £99,635 £136,242 £155,042Expenditure £58,100 £116,200 £122,010 £128,111 £134,516Capital Expenditure £25,000* For comparison purposes, 2011 expenditure at South London Mahajanwadi is approximately £100,0000FUNDINGHow will we raise the funds to purchase the Property?- Utilisation of existing North West Area funds- Raising Donations through the EKTA TaktiSchemes- Raising general donations from all MembersTAKTI Schemeso GOLD Donors - £25,001 +o PLATINUM Donors - £50,001+TAKTI Schemeso Ground floor hall – £250,001o First Floor hall – £100,001o Upper First Floor hall – £200,001o Ground Floor Dining Area– £50,001o Entrance Foyer– £50,001o Ground floor kitchen – £35,001o Lift – £35,001o First Floor Rooms - £11,111 (multiple donors)
