New committee for PCV

The Punjabi Club of Victoria recently held its Annual General Meeting on August 22 at Tandoori Junction restaurant.

The meeting was attended by over 40 PCV members.

The members unanimously chose a new committee and its executive committee consists of Arminder Luthra (President), Davinder Kocher (Vice President), Inderjit Jasal (Secretary), Tej Panesar (Treasurer), Surinder Mudher, Virendra Berera, Surinder Dhar, Anil Dhir, Jasbir Bedi (founder PCV member) and Paramjit Jaswal.

The new committee wishes to thank the outgoing President Mr Surinder Mudher for his contribution, dedication and hard work. The new committee also wishes to thank Mr Arun Sharma and Mr Narinder Bedi for their contribution and support over many years.

As part of its annual events, the PCV will organise a Diwali dinner and dance programme on November 1 for family and friends. The event will promote Punjabi culture among children and will have Bollywood entertainment and much, much more what I could write to describe the phenomenon that is Shiamak… You have to see it to believe it.

Shiamak Davar’s choreography proved to be a winner yet again, striking a good balance between the music, visual effects created with the movements of the dancers, the backdrop and costumes. Despite the fact that the show was hastily put together to utilize the paid booking at Palais theatre (previously booked with another event in mind that got postponed), the Shiamak Spring Funk did not disappoint and was as entertaining as the annual winter and summer funks. Like every year I left the show thinking, Wow, that was brilliant! I should find time to join them.
