Don't think this was a Gurudwara or anything.

I say leave it be unless someone who knows for sure can say this was held at a Gurudwara. These guys are just minding their own business and if it happens to be at a Gurughar, then no one should post on the videos.

Contact the Gurudwara directly as it's not the fault of the people in the video.

Looks likes the Beer Festival was in the Sikh Leisure Centre, Huddersfield which appears to be the Gurdwara run hall, behind the Darbar Sahib and therefore locally affiliated as part of the Sikh Temple. The blog below refers to the the beer festival being at the Sikh Temple as there is clearly no distinction between the Sikh Leisure Centre and the Guru Ghar.

Called Gurughar number above. Got usual response that the hall is run by a separate committee... blah blah blah...has local government funding so is really owned by the council... blah blah blah. I asked then why they called it the "Sikh" Leisure centre if it's owned by the council but didn't get a response from him. Short call, wasn't really willing to discuss further.

Usual rubbish. Just another UK Gurdwara Hall used for manmat.

beer festivals and such events are held in the venue infront of the Prospect street Huddersfield Gurdwara.

The venue was called the 'Sikh Leisure centre' since it opened. Recently, a year or so ago, it was re-named 'Apna Venue' - obvz because of the pressure from satkar groups etc.

The venue was built with funds raised in the Gurdwara from the Sangat. The venue is now supported by grants from the local gov. until a few years back the gov had stopped funding the venue because of a misuse of funds...someone filling their back pocket...this was obvz broadcasted under the 'Sikh Leisure Centre' banner.

With a new committee in place, independant to the Gurdwaras, and certain alterations in line with the council specs, the gov is again funding the venue. some community interest or something scheme.

many pre/post wedding events, parties, festivals etc take place here, alcohol meat music you name it. what seperates this venue from the gurdwara? a road.

To Pyara veerji, great intiative calling up the pardhaan of the gurdwara etc. The gurdwara committee changes every so often but its the same people, the same cr*p and nothing changes. Something seriously needs to be done about Huddersfield sangat. Sikhi is a thing of the long forgotten past here.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
