The Gurdwara bought the land to make a Hall and the local authority funded the building of it.The land purchase came from the Golak but was accounted for as a loan on the books of the Gurdwara I think it might have been paid off by now,the accounts are freely available from the Charities Commision. It is linked in that the same committee members are responsible,I have no direct conflict of interest, but I should declare that my Grandfathers nephew who is one of the towns most successful businessmen and a self made millionaire, is the Gurdwara treasurer. ps I like[B] Scarlet-Pimper-Neer [/B]or SPN for short ,Looks like they are still at it too another Gurdwara getting bullied now!
