Nepal Sirmooree 2025

37 to the COVID-19 pandemic, SRA Trust will now close on 30 June 2024. Therefore, 14 September 2024 will be Sirmoor Sathies’ last Delhi Day celebration with QT team, thereafter annual celebrations, at such a large scale, will not take place. We will celebrate as small groups within own town areas on self-funding basis. 6. The 2 GR Association-UK (Sirmoor Sathies) fund statement as at 14 September 2023 is at Annex A and Delhi Day expenditure is at Annex B. (Note: due to limited space, both Annexes are not in this magazine). 7. Conclusion: For making the 166th Delhi Day celebrations- cum-208th annual Regimental reunion a big success, Capt Raju Gurung, Chairman of Sirmoor Sathies UK, and his Executive Committee Members would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the 15 Area Representatives, Officers plus the Volunteers of Central Committee (not forgetting the ever cheerful and helpful Sirmoor ladies) who had worked tirelessly on Sat 9 Sep 2023, in making the day a huge success. All the members of 2 GR Association-UK (Sirmoor Sathies) wish to convey their profuse thanks for their wholehearted support for the Delhi Day 2023, without their support it would not have been such a huge success and memorable one!
