| Dr. Vasudev Kamath I am a retired General Practitioner from Wigan. I am one of the founder member of GSS. I have been in the Executive committee of the Sabah and Chairperson of the Sabha. Both myself and my wife Mrs. Shambhavi Kamath initiated our first Bank Holiday event in Ilam Hall in 1989 which is now a flagship event of our Sabah. We organised an Odissi dance performance by the great Sanjukta Panigrahi with help from Mersey side arts in Liverpool Both of us were also instrumental in organisation of the 25th Anniversary of our Sabha in Stratford upon Avon which was a great success. I will continue to support the Sabha in the future |  |
