Also exhibiting at the Gurudwara Sahib are, 'Sikhs in Print' by the Singh Twins and 'Jawans to Generals' - a photographic exhibition of the contribution of Sikh Soldiers during the two World Wars. Both exhibitions will be on display at the Gurudwara until January 2010.

The stunning purpose built Gurudwara will serve the communities of Leamington, Warwick, and the surrounding areas and host regular exhibitions, film screenings and lectures, educating and inspiring both Sikh and non Sikh communities alike, whilst providing a place of worship.

In recent years the Anglo Sikh Heritage Trail has brokered a working relationship with the Royal British Legion, the nation's custodian of Remembrance. The RBL ensures that people remember those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. The poppy has become the symbol of Remembrance worn during the weeks leading to Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day and it was encouraging to see more Sikhs not only wearing the poppy but also Sikh volunteers in Gurudwara's and other locations.

Following on from last year's pioneering work once again ASHT co-ordinated Sikh representation at specific Remembrance day events across the country. Explaining the strategy ASHT Director Harbinder Singh said "We felt that for too long Sikh's had been passive observers at a time in the national calendar which more than any other captures the spirit of sacrifice and service for which we are renowned. We felt it was important that the Sikh community should take a more meaningful part in Remembrance , not merely because of the sacrifices of our forefathers , but because we must take it upon ourselves to ensure that throughout the length and breadth of these shores we educate others about this history. It is for this reason that ASHT has been focusing on arranging and co-ordinating a Sikh presence in locations that are outside of the major conurbations"

Featuring images and details of some of the CRCI's work in Punjab including the unique Guru Ki Maseet, a mosque built by the sixth Sikh Guru, the summer Palace of Maharajah Ranjit Singh and many more, this calendar shines a light on the amazing work that is taking place today in Punjab, to preserve and restore its often disregarded material heritage to its former glory.

"Alongside the tragedy of the catastrophic disasters which the SGPC and others inflict on Sikh material heritage through their neglect and disregard there are some projects which are genuinely preserving important sites. The CRCI's work is both to be admired and commended and we are privileged to be supporting them in their endeavours" Sarinjit Bahia, MDSCT

ASHT Research - 'Working as a voluntary researcher for ASHT was a challenging and fascinating task, one that helped me learn a lot about Punjabi history, something that I have always been deeply interested in and am only just gaining the opportunity to investigate. My assignment was to look into the annexation of the Sikh State in the Punjab by the British government in India... I was based in the British Library's India Office, with its wealth of documents and resources on the subject, an invaluable experience for a History undergraduate!..'
