On Sunday 11th July, Madressa organised its Annual Sports Day for all members of the community inviting young and old. Not only was the sun shining, but by the end of the day about 500 people had joined us for the sporting activities and the BBQ.
There were a number of activities on offer for the different age ranges and classes. Classes 1 – 3 were entertained at the multi-activity centre, Gambado in Watford which provided adventures like dodgems, a climbing wall and a play frame amongst other activities.
Class 4 + on the ladies side were invited to undertake a stress free day out at TopGolf in Watford. By the end of the afternoon, the girls had shown off their talents by producing strong and graceful drives out on to the range and we would not be surprised to see them taking up the sport more competitively in the future.
The boys of class 4+ were once again enjoying a sunny, multi-sporting activity day on the rugby field alongside eager parents and teachers. Football, volleyball and cricket were the orders of the day and the children eagerly participated and involved themselves in their favourite sports.
By the time Salaat time had reached, the children were ready to take a break from the scorching sun and after they had prayed they enjoyed a delicious BBQ that featured T-bone steaks, chicken tikka, and lamb tikka (mishkaki) all grilled to perfection.
For the barbeque we were honoured to have with us the President of Council of European Jamaat, a representative from Muslim Council of Britain and various other prominent members from other Jamaats in UK
