November 2024
Our thanks to everyone who helped make our Kathina celebration on 3 Nov such a great success, and to all those who were able to attend on the day.
Than Thirasak returned to Thailand just after Kathina to attend two important events, and he will return in January. Than Am would have been due to leave at the end of his Visa in March, but has been contacted by his family asking if he could return earlier following the recent passing of his Grandmother. We have made arrangements for him to travel in early January. He was not confident travelling alone so fortunately we have managed to get him on the same flight as Somchai and Wan who will ensure his safe journey.
We are just a couple of weeks away from hearing the decision on our grant application that, if approved, will allow us to commence construction of the new hall. We have had to carry out some cost engineering to keep the final build costs of the hall down as much as we can without compromising the overall design. The redesigns of the civil elements are underway which will result in a significant cost and time saving for the project.
Our 2025 calendars are now available at the temple and you are most welcome to collect a free copy.
As always, please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions,
With Metta (loving kindness)
