Our department at work often have department meetings at external venues as we do not have offices that can accommodate everyday in our head office.  This week we had our meeting in a room at a local church, and the church often hires out this large room for external functions.  It would be great for our Gurudwaras to think outside the box when it comes to designing new Gurudwaras or redeveloping existing Gurudwaras to think what they can do to assist the wide panth and local committee.
A function room which could be used to hold meetings, or a library should be consider essential.
RE: Language issues.  Slowly I've seen more Gurudwaras benefiting from the Basics of Sikhi approach of having English karthas to keep the younger members of sangat engaged.

Stumbled upon this on Instagram and thought I share as some of you here are interested in Moghul history and the life of MahaRaja Ranjit Singh.  I suppose that's one good thing about social media is people can share more imagery of our history for those who cannot access them in person.

A couple of times a month I spend time in an elderly care home sitting and listening with the old people there.  They are so lonely and love that someone young has taken time to be with them because they really have nothing else to do, and rarely visited by their family.  They share some lovely stories and really appreciate any visitor : )

^ yeah, i noticed that too, he looks south indian or so , yet he managed to capture the essence beautifully.
sometimes non-sikhs are able to see things in a way which we sikhs cannot.
